Sony DSC T 30 Digital Camera: A High Performer

Category: Review on Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T30 Digital Camera

Posted by: 12-Oct-2006

Strengths: High image quality, excellent battery life and loads of memory

Weaknesses: Delicate camera due to its slim exterior and does not manage to ward off the redeye problem. You might even miss not having an optical viewfinder.

An excellent camera with the right mix of features which can help an amateur photographer turn in some very good quality images is the best way to describe the Sony DSC T30 digital camera. The slim camera is very easy to carry and can fit in just about anywhere. The high memory capacity of 58 MB along with a slot for additional memory slot takes care of most users’ memory requirement.

Though you might find the lack of manual constraints a bit restricting when taking pictures, it is this feature which lets the camera adjust most controls automatically and provide high quality images. The overall performance of the camera is very good and the battery life may just wipe away the last vestige of doubt in your mind before you take the plunge and buy this camera.

The zoom feature of the Sony DSC T30 is also quite innovative as it lets you adjust it while shooting and this does not affect the clarity in any major way. There is a slight softening of the corners of the image when using zoom but it’s not earth shattering!

One of the most common problems with cameras which can render many a good photographs practically useless is the redeye, and somehow this feature laden camera also suffers from the same ailment. Apart from this, in an attempt to make the camera really slim, it looks like Sony has used some very flimsy cover options which might not sustain a minor impact.

The last point of discussion in reviewing this camera is the pricing. The DSC T30 is reasonably priced for the features it packs in and you can be rest assured that you will get your money’s worth. Do try our the slideshow feature which can display images over the decently sized LCD screen and can help you share images as soon as you have shot them.
