Digital camera reviews of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 12 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Dark Blue)

Digital camera 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.
