This model differs from its twin-compact WX100 by a simplified sensor, proportionally limited functions and bigger screen. A regular CCD sensor can neither deliver up to 12,800 ISO, nor a fast continuous shooting, and even the video recording is average: clips are limited to 720p. The screen, although larger, has a lower resolution.

However, the camera has retained its “smart” features and even functions like panorama shooting with a wire, effects, a smile sensor and other useful and interesting tools. At the same time costs W690 much less “fast” fellow, and this fact will certainly attract many thrifty amateur photographers.
Hi there! I’ve read your review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W690 and it sounds like a great camera. However, I’m wondering about the image quality in low-light conditions. Could you please share your experience with that? Thanks!
