I bought two of those W290's maybe a month or so ago.
I got real good deals on those as they were store demo's.
Got one for $87+tax, and the other one for $128+tax.
The first was almost like new, and the second one was mint in
the box with the tag still on the strap.
I'd say I'm fairly happy with them overall. I kind of wish I had a
big DSLR, but lots more dough to cough up and I'm cheap.
The W290 can take some pretty good pictures as long as the light
is fairly good. They can get a bit grainy under low light, but I
imagine a lot of them do that unless you spend more money.
I like the 720p HD video they will do. Looks pretty good for a
P&S camera the size of a deck of cards.
I'm going to build a trail camera with the first one I bought.
I bought the 2nd one to use as a hand held after I modify the
first one.
These are off the W290.. The Corvette ZHZ is one of those Hertz
rent a Vettes my brother was driving this last week end.
