    Very good camera with lots of features

    By Francis Di Fronzo  Oct 18, 2005 | 11 out of 12 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use, large LCD, lots of manual features, value.

    Cons: Complicated menu, bundled software, flash.

    As an entry-level point-and-shoot, the S90 functions very well in full auto. The AF functions superbly under all lighting conditions - though in very low light, it's a bit slow. Picture quality is quite good and colors are fairly accurate. Sony... has given this camera a lot of manual adjustments as well - some of which are rare in this segment including: white balance, burst, color and contrast settings. Even better, all these adjustments are available in movie mode. While all these manual adjustments are very useful, getting through the menu requires a lot of button-pushing. Another negative... the flash is a bit much and tends to wash everything out. All-in-all, the S90 is a very good value... an excellent point-and-shoot with a lot of unique features. Read more Less

    great deal on sony camera!

    By Phil and Kayse  Jan 22, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 review helpful

    Pros: ease of use

    Cons: size, weight

    I got a great deal on this camera as Circuit city was selling the last ones they had in stock. The camera was easy to use, easy delete for unwanted pictures, easy review of previous shot. Comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts a long time befor...e needing recharging. I bought my daughter an offbrand camera at Christmas and returned it the next day. I found this one by recommendation of the college age "camera geek" sales clerks at Circuit City and have been very pleased with the quality and the value of the purchase. I wish I could buy one for myself! Read more Less

    Pros: Little Bit heavy

    Cons: Everything is good abt it

    I own this camera for last 5 months and i am using it continously since so many days, its really a godd camera and the function r very easy to use and even a ameature person can use it without reading the booklet. Its a great camera and i suggest to ...people to take this camera for home purpose because its enough for home usage rather that taking camera with high pixels and costly ones. Read more Less

    A good camera to start with

    By Sayantan  Dec 7, 2006

    Pros: A lot of Menu option to choose from

    Cons: Battery Usage

    The Day i first used it, it was really cool thing to use. But as i got accustomed to the features it provides it started to interest me more and more. Leaving aside the battery consumption it provided a great picture quality. The 4 modes of snapping ...provides various degrees of zooming. The 4M mode allows the least zooming but more quality pictures. There is different modes for night, candle, sunlight, snow. the feature i love most is the sunlight one that gives a great picture in sunlight. The video quality need improvement. Read more Less

    My first digital camera ever

    By afoxcat  Sep 6, 2006

    Pros: Inexpensive, ease of use

    Cons: None

    The sony Cyber-shot 4.1 is the first digital camera I have ever owned. I had enrolled in an adult digital photography class and one of the requirements was to have a digital camera. I never had much interest in photograpy before this but using this l...ittle inexpensive camera and the results was so rewarding that I hope to continue taking pictures for pleasure and to use in projects for another adult class (Adobe PhotoShop) that I am taking. I love this little camera and hope that if my work improves, in the future I will upgrade to a more sophisticated camera. Read more Less

    Great, but HUGE battery usage

    By cjsvlfwls  Aug 15, 2006

    Pros: everything else than below

    Cons: HUGE battery usage, and it was expensive when i bought it

    ok, first of all, this digital camera is GREAT. I bought this camera for about 300 dollars and i am pretty satisfied so far. one and ONLY problem on this cam is that after taking 100-150 pics or so, the battery runs out... that's pretty fast for ...a digital camera... well, i recommend this camera over anything else because I've only used this one so far.

    I have one and its OK.

    By Michelle  May 6, 2006

    Pros: Very simple to use

    Cons: heavy and it takes a long time for the picture to snap.

    I have had this camera for 6 month now and I like it. However I have missed so many cute shots of my son due to the lagging of it. In addition the pics once stored on your computer are not the best quality. After you enlarge them slightly you can ...see all of the pixils. Other than these flaws its a great camera for a person that is not tech savy and for a non professional photographer. Read more Less

    Sony Cyber-shot

    By JoAnn  Apr 11, 2006 | 0 out of 4 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 review helpful

    Pros: its small and easy to use

    Cons: Image Quality is not very good

    This camera is not a very good camera, I ended up selling it, because the image quality was horrible, no matter how you changed the settings, the pictures never came out the way you wanted them to.
