I bought a Sony CyberShot (DSC-W290) specifically because it records 720p video (MPEG4). I recorded few clips and inserted the Memory Stick Pro-Duo into PS3 (and on Sony HDTV). It recognizes all my pictures but the video folders are empty. Either 720p standard or fine videos does not show in the folder to play. Only the video recorded with the lowest resolution (VGA) shows up and able play them (I was experimenting recording with all 3 options). I called Sony’s camera Customer Service and they told me to use a different Memory Stick which I did (different brands) but same results. They told me that something is wrong with my PS3 and told me to contact PS3 Customer Service. I did that and they are telling any MPEG4 video should play on PS3 (no fireware updates needed) and telling me to call Sony’s Camera Cust. Service. I tried connecting the USB to PS3 and playing the videos on the PS3 but still no luck.

This is what I’ve been hearing from all these 1-3 star reviews.
Great outdoors, Bad indoors. Sony finally solved that problem with the WX1 it has a: 10.2-megapixel Back-Illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS Sensor Producing Stunning Images in Low Light. Finally. A good all around camera!!!!!!Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1/B 10MP “Exmor R” CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Steady Shot Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Black)

WHEN SHOOTING A PICTURE MY THUMB ENDS UP ON THE DIAL. PLUG TO TRANSFER IS AT BOTTOM SO THE CAMERA IS LYING ON LENS OR SCREEN. BECAUSE OF THESE TWO THINGS I WOULD NOT BUY THIS STYLE AGAIN.

I love the camera, great photo quality. I love all of the features too, especially the ability to shoot 720p video with sound. I wish the camera came with an AC/DC adaptor, this has to be purchased separately.

This camera is a really nice acquisition. Pictures are easy to take, the colors are awesome, and even if you are in motion like inside a car, the pictures I’ve been able to take with it amaze me. You have to ensure that whenever you take pictures at night and you want them perfect, the camera has to be as still as possible since any trembling hand will ruin the picture. I definitely recommend it!
