Discount Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 12 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Bronze)

I purchase the Sony DSC W290 to replace a DSC w170 that I loved but needed repairs of over $100. This is my 7th Sony Cybershot camera. I am obviously a Sony Cybershot fan. This camera is a big disappointment. It does not through the lense view finder which I knew before I bought it but still want. I am very disappointed that Sony no longer offers a pocket size camera with a thru the lense view finder. In bright sun it is very important. The biggest disappoint is the lag time in taking pictures. The DSC 170 was much faster. It allowed me to turn off lots of the automatic functions that slow down digital cameras. The automatic features are nice in some situations but when I am trying to take picture of my grandchildren they often cause me to miss the shot. I am sorry I bought the camera - I should have known that the low price was too good to be true. This camera is probably good for a beginner but not for any one who wants to take pictures of anything that might move.
