This camera is a trimmed down version of the more expensive W290 which was also high on features. The latter camera had a wider longer lens, larger screen, HD movie capture mode and few other goodies put in. If you are a light photographer we would recommend you to go for this one rather than the W290 because we think it is worth sacrificing the features for the money that you save. For its price, the W220 gives good performance and photo quality. However, if you are photo enthusiast, then go for W290. The mode dial is crowded with options and it sinks in to the body to prevent any accidental changing. The zoom button is located above the dial. There is a four way navigation circular button for navigation through the menus. You also get settings for timer, display, macro, and flash on the dial. Sony still hasn’t got rid of those Menu and Home buttons which are quite confusing.  [...]
