I bought this camera thinking it would be a great camera with 12.1MP, but it was a worse picture then my previous camera that was an Olympus 7.1MP. Needless to say, I have had it for a few months and now I will try to sell it, because I bought a new Olympus. Terrible picture, do not buy!

The hi resolutions pictures take a minute is too sloow, and the video is poor resolution, i think sony is a good brand but this camera no

I've owned the Sony DSC-W190 for about 14 months now and am disappointed with this camera. I've owned many cameras made by Sony, and have loved the quality. I've owned the one that takes the little CD-Rs that looks SLR like and one that took AA batteries. The camera I owned that had double A batteries started dying when I was at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX during a graduation from my retraining school, so I made this purchase on base at AAFES (Army & Air Force Exchange Service). I didn't take a close look and purchased this because all the other Sony Cameras I've owned have had great picture quality and this had double the megapixels as the one I was replacing, which was a 5.1. I loved the features on the box; this camera was a 12.1 and half the size of my last one. I should've returned it the day I got it. I took a picture of myself right after purchasing it, and you couldn't even see the background; it looked like I had a white backdrop behind me OUTSIDE with none of the greenery in the photo. So I turned the smile detection off. Most of the pictures I took were blurry until about the 5th picture.

This didn't have the "Carl Zeiss" lens which was good on my other camera; this camera has a "Sony Lense." I wish I didn't purchase this because every camera I've owned that has a Carl Zeiss lense had their pictures come out much better. I had to bust out my other camera, a Cannon Digital SLR" for night shots during my vacation back home in Las Vegas. If you don't have full sunlight with this camera your pictures will come out blurry or washed out. This was a disappointing purchase. If I had to buy another camera from Sony I will make sure it has a Carl Zeiss lens, or I won't buy it at all. It's nice it has the movie feature so you can record brief videos. Another negative I saw was to view the last picture you had to move the switch down. There was no "Preview" button like on other cameras. If you're reading this and want my recommendation on a Sony, get one with a Carl Zeiss lense. This was a bad purchase that I regret due to the bad photos it captures. Every other camera I've owned produced by Sony, the pictures have come out clear...this is the exception. Now I have to spend more money getting a better quality camera. This has been the fifth digital camera I've Owned: 1 Pentax, 3 Sony, and 1 Cannon.

I found the camera to be a little better than I anticipated. Although the camera feels a little cheap in quality compared to other camera's I've owned, it does take good pictures. For the price paid, this was a great deal!

The Sony Cyber shot rocks and is the most easy to use camera ......the clarity and the flexibility makes u a fan of the company....Easy to use features and awesome capture lens just makes it a perfect buy.

Got this camera for my girlfriend and all she can say is wow! Great quality pictures, Definitely one of the best cameras i've had to date.

I had this camera for almost a year and video resolutions is ok not bad according to the camera price but the pictures are not good as expected from sony , take very long time between shots , Burst is very bad and slow , tried too many different setting but nogo and still the same problem with the shutter speed.

just dont buy it and buy more expensive camera instead of wasting your money on this camera .

This camera was an employment award - I chose it instead of $150 cash that was an option because of all the rave reviews. I wish I'd taken the money, added to it and gotten something else! It has never exposed a single indoor flash picture properly. All flash pics are completely overexposed, it's horrible in low light and it's horrible in otherwise brightly lit indoor situations. I've wasted countless time adjusting the settings to no avail. Some, but not all, outdoor, full light shots are passable - but I agree with the other 1 star reviewers - save your money and get something else.

Spend a little extra and get a better camera. I asked for one that was only about $50 more and my cheap boyfriend bought me this piece of junk instead. There are tons of options for improving your pictures, but even with all these options the picture quality still sucks beyond belief.

Whoever is giving these rave reviews has never own a real camera and knows nothing about photography. This camera is perfect for someone who wants to take pictures of left overs in the toilet bowl..

DON'T BUY!

Night photos are much better than my previous camera. I thought night photos were quite difficult, and this camera has made it easy. Day photos are super clear!
