Summary: Best Little Digital Cam for the $
Review: a tennant of mine owned this camera and I used it quite extensively. It has fantastic definition capabilities and the color it's able to capture is just outstanding. Very easy to use and upload pics onto PC. The Software program enables you to edit photo's and print to any desired size or format. I'd highly recommend this digital camera to anyone who wants sharp pics at a low price.

Summary: Fanastic Camera for the Price
Review: Fantastic camera for the price. I researched several camera's before purchasing the Sony DSC-30. Picture resolution at 640 is very clear and printable for framing. On a 4MB stick I was able to take over 40 pictures. I did purchase the camera pack and got a 8mb, plus the 16MB. Have not had to use yet. Battery pack last a long time. Great flash allowing you to take pictures in any environment. Sorry if some of the users are having difficult gettting desired results, but reading the directions prior to use helps tremendously. Highly recommend.

Summary: Law Enforcement Use
Review: I am a crime scene investigator. The S30 is the greatest camera I have ever worked with. I use the macro function and I can take photos of a latent print on the spot, go back to the office print my photo on a video printer, take it to our latent expert and if the print is on file, can have an identification on the suspect in less than an hour. The macro function on this camera is awesome. The memory sticks are so cool because I can put five in my pocket without having them bulk up my pockets. The night time photo shoot functions are superior to any 35mm I have ever used and my photos print with such detail, there is no way I will give up this camera to a 35mm.

Summary: Great Closeups
Review: I am new to the Digital Camera field, my other camera being a Cannon A1 35MM. I needed something to shoot small antique car emblems for my web site. These are especially difficult (even with the Cannon, using a macro zoom lens) because they are highly reflective on the surface and in the imbedded metallic colors. The Sony DSC-S30 just fell into my lap due to Office Depot closing their local stores and clearing out everything at greatly reduced prices. Regardless, the camera is all I could ask for. I mount it on a tripod and connect it to a 13" color tv through the video out cable, and can experiment with the lighting, positioning etc. to get just the effect I want. Even the SLR's can't do that. What you see on the tv screen is what you really get. So now I am getting awesome closeup shots. I've even put a plug on my web page for this camera, so people will know how I came to have such great shot! The only negative is with the Sony corp. itself. I was unable to order any accesories with my "rebate", because the phone number is always busy. Once I did get through, waited on hold for 30 min. and the item was not in stock (the cameral case). So I am disgruntled with them!

Summary: Great little camera
Review: I bought this camera after some comparison shopping, and was surprised to find features that aren't commented on in most reviews. In addition to what others have already said, I really like the video out feature, which allows you to watch a slide show of your pix on a regular TV. I was a litte worried about the quality of a 1.3 megapixel camera, but I have made good-looking 8x10 prints after a little enhancement in photoshop.

This camera can pre-focus (like a real 35mm SLR) which shotens the time it takes to take a picture from the moment you press the shutter release to the time the picture is captured. Just press the shutter down about half-way.

Documentation is excellent, quality and build are first-rate, and I would recommend this camera if you are shopping for a camera in this price range.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Review: I give this camera 5 stars simply because of the simplicity of the camera and the clarity of the images. If you are in the market for a good low light camera, then look elsewhere for a higher ended model. But for your typical, everyday usage it is brilliant. I kept the 4 meg Memorystick as it will hold upwards of 60 640x480 images. I employ the camera to take pictures for emails and family newsletters. Dump them using the USB connection into your computer and fill it up again! There is nothing simpler. I purchased this camera nearly a year and a half ago and still use it everyday... no kidding! I owned two JVCs previous to this Sony and do not even know where they are now. This is a super product.

Summary: best value
Review: i have been shopping for a digital camera for about 9 months and the dsc30 is the best value. it produces great quality pics. the battery life is awesome--watch out for anyother camera with regular AA's you'll be luck to get 15 flash photos on it. with this camera i got over 100 photos on a rechargeable battery!
