Customer Review: 720p video clips does not play in PS3
Summary: 1 Stars

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.

I bought this camera after owning several Kodak cameras over the past ten years. It has been awful as far as I'm concerned. It is much slower than my Kodak cameras and the picture quality is not as good. The final straw was that the battery cover just broke after only 7 months of careful use and according to Sony's website, I have to pay to ship the item to them for them to fix it. I'm a big fan of Sony's camcorders, but this will definitely be the last still camera I buy from them.

Sony products are not what they used to be. The first shot I took, in Easy mode with adequate light a steady hand and 3 feet from my son, came out blurry. What a POS! My 5 yr old Sony takes superior pics than this. Also, why give us a video feature without allowing us to zoom while filming? Do yourself a favor and avoid this camera.
