Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 review

 

A case of style over substance?

Plenty of features ; Fantastic image quality for the size

Heavy ; Small controls ; Some image distortion

The latest T-series is smarter, tougher and easier to use than its predecessors

Sony DSC T30

 

Seven megapixels with a three times zoom lens. The Sony DSC T30 fits snugly into a pocket. It scores highly for ease of use and it also has a fair bit of style about it.

Picture quality ; Large internal memory ; Style and design

Red eye ; Expensive ; Limited flash distance

"The Sony DSC T30 certainly does not come cheap. It does have a lot going for it though. High marks are scored for style, photo quality and ease of use. If you are not too worried about the price tag then this is a very good pocket sized digital camera."

Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T30 review

 

Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T30 Sony's T series has been a staple of the company's camera line ever since it was introduced. With sleek silver (and recently black) bodies, sliding lens covers that stretch boldly across the camera front, and big LCD screens...

Attractive, functional design; optical image stabilization; solid image quality; 58MB of internal memory.

Slow f/3.5 maximum aperture; spotty red-eye reduction.

Pocket-friendly and stylish, the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T30 continues the T-series tradition of ease of use and image quality.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 is now the eighth in the T-series (though not all from this line made it to the US market), with similar overall specs to its predecessors. The camera's thin profile is clean and understated, with smooth panels and very few...
