About the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W690
Released in February 2012, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W690 is a travel compact with a 10x optical zoom covering 25-250 mm in 35mm terms. The aperture runs F3.3-5.9, and the sensor is a 1/2.3-inch CCD of 16 megapixels. Its CCD sensor is the older design, in a body built for pockets.
The body measures 94 x 56 x 22 mm and weighs 142 g, and the back has a 3-inch monitor. It runs on the NP-BN lithium-ion battery and records to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. The wide 25 mm start suits interiors and scenery, while 250 mm gives moderate reach for daytime travel photography. Image quality in dim light is where a CCD of this size will show its limits.
Buying one used
Check that the NP-BN battery charges and lasts, and that the SD, SDHC or SDXC slot reads cards. Run the 10x zoom through its range and look over the 3-inch screen for damage.
