The Cyber-Shot DSC-W90 offers many of the same options found on past models, like the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens, large 2.5-inch LCD, 640x480 VX Fine movie mode as well as a durable all metal body. This new model also boasts 8-megapixels of resolution, a maximum ISO speed to 3200 (one of the highest settings found on a consumer point-n-shoot), Sony's Super Steady Shot® optical image stabilization, a 9 Area Multi-point AF with their new face detection technology, etc. With Auto, Program AE, and 7 preprogrammed scene modes (including High ISO), the W90 is sure to have an exposure mode to suit the needs or experience of every user in your household or office. Just as previous models, the W90 is well built and stylish. Durability is addressed with the all metal construction,with exception of the battery/memory card door. The controls are well placed, offering a comfortable feel while capturing your photos. The menu system got a face lift. While the arrangement of settings is similar to past models, the W90 adds a new Home menu. This gives you access to virtually all of the settings available. While I feel the old menu system worked very well, it only took me a few times using the camera to get aquatinted with the new setup. One feature that I love about Sony's "W" series models, is that so far (as of 5/2007) they retain the optical viewfinder. Many manufacturers are sparing this useful tool to accommodate these large LCDs. While most users use the LCD to frame most of the time, the optical viewfinder comes in handy when trying to conserve battery life or when following moving subjects in burst mode. I found its 2.5-inch display worked great when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight, with only a few angles that reflected the sun. When shooting in low lighting the display "gains up" nicely to help you see your subject. I also found the LCD is prone to showing fingerprints, so you'll find yourself wiping it off quite regularly. The W90 is a robust performer. Power up to first image captured measured just 2 seconds. Shutter lag, the time between depressing the shutter release and capturing an image, was less than 1/10 second when pre- focused and only 1/10 second including autofocus time! The shot to shot delay measured a fast 1.3 seconds without the flash and between 2.5 and 3 seconds using the flash, depending on subject distance and battery life. In Burst mode, I was able to capture 10 full resolution images in just 3.8 seconds, without billing the buffer. The LCD only briefly displays the last captured image between shots, making it somewhat usable to follow moving subjects; this is when the optical viewfinder comes in handy. Our tests were done using a Sony 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card, 8M quality, Program mode, flash off, preview off, and all other settings at default (unless otherwise noted.) Times may vary depending on lighting conditions, camera settings, media, etc. Sony has created another welcomed addition to their already popular Cyber-shot "W" series. It offers speedy performance, great image quality, and loads of high-end features, all packed in a very compact and durable shell, and, with that much resolution, the printing possibilities are almost endlessRead full review
Good quality, little to no scratches. Camera quality is alright and not negatively impacted in any way. Still figuring how to work it out. I love it!

I lost my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W90 and was happy to find a replacement on ebay. This camera can be carried in a pocket and is handy. You do not need a steady hand or be a professional to use this camera. It is one of the best cameras I have owned.
I recently lost my original Sony DSC-90 that I have owned for years. It is a great camera and was happy to be able to replace it with one that was nearly new. It lives up to its reviews,

Every time I power on this camera, the shutter remains closed until I physically tap it to open. Then it works. I just wish it worked as stated in the description.

Perfecto!!!!! Had a camera exactly like this, was lost or stolen at Mardi Fras. Searched for this one, ease of use and the perfection of the photos and video is perfection in every way. Comparison to other cameras is just as good as the high quality, high priced cameras. I just love it and will buy it again and again. Thank you Sony for such a great product. It is awesome for young or old.
I absolutely love my camera. I have owned more than one. Lost the last one out snowmobiling. I am glad some are still available. This is my eBay photo camera.
