Rating: Summary: Fantastic Buy Review: I have had the S30 now for 3 weeks. for home use I dont think you can beat it for the price. The only flaw if you can call it that is you need to get a larger memory stick. The 4meg that comes with the camera is not enough. You can get the case that is made for it from Sony for $25 including 2nd day air shiping.
Rating: Summary: Features + Price = Tremendous Bargain Review: I just purchased the DSC-S30. I had seriously considered the Olympus 460Z, which costs about the same price. While both cameras have 3x Optical zoom and TV out, the similarities end there. First, a national consumer magazine rated the S30 one of the best 1.3 mega pixel cameras. Second, you have to consider the accessories that come bundled with this camera. You get a rechargeable lithium ion battery, an AC Adaptor, and a USB cable that when connected to your computer, makes your camera act like a hard drive. You can even upload images to the camera so you can take them with you. We love hooking up the camera to the TV!! The features are nearly endless, and the picture quality is very impressive. I can't say enough about this camera. Sony even has a rebate program where you can essentially get an extra 16MB memory stick for free. Sony's new Cybershot line is something everyone should seriously consider.
Rating: Summary: Solid camera, but... Review: I just purchased this one for a trip to Greece, Egypt, and Israel. I was very pleased with the battery life. I'd plug it in every night and it would last all day with no problem. The picture quality is excellent during the day and night. If you make the purchase, you'll need another memory stick. I got the 64 meg stick (Ken Tracey) and could take 112 shots at the highest resolution. I blew up a few of my pictures to 8x10 and the quality was quite good. If your planning on doing that though, I'd recommend the 2.1 meg Sony. All in all, I'm a happy camper
Rating: Summary: I'll never go back Review: I just recently got the Sony DSC-S30 and I can't put the thing down. I think the reviewers that had problems with the battery life and the amount of pictures that can be taken possibly did not take time to read the instruction manual. This camera has many settings that you can choose from to manipulate how many pictures you can store at a time. Of course if you go with the highest quality you will undoubtedly get less pictures. This can be solved by getting an extra memory stick, or going for lower grade pictures, which are still crystal clear. This camera has many options that will make a novice photographer look like a pro. There are many picture effects to choose from. You can take black & white photos, sepia colored (to look old fashioned), redirect light sources and shadows, and much much more. The movable LCD display is great, you can even turn it backwards and take a picture of yourself. Antoher great feature that my family has used, is hooking it up to the TV. Using this we took a self portrait with the timer and we could reposition ourselves and preview the picture by looking at the television. Technology is so cool. I'm glad we didn't take our salesman's advise and go with a "starter" camera -because we are young-, I would not have been happy. Nobody gives you more cool options and buttons than Sony. Great Camera- but now I wish I had gotten the DSC-S50, for the movie feature. One thing I know for sure...I'll never go back to using film, and having strangers develop my pictures.
Rating: Summary: one and only sony Review: I know that this camera is worth every penny.I have had a couple of digital cameras. I've had the mvs-fd90 and it was a waste of money this camera does the same things and its very simple to use.So far this is the best camera for me.....
Rating: Summary: My Sony Dsc-s30 Review: I love Dsc-s30 digital camera it took pictures really clearly Because I compared to others same level camera no one I like it. The screen LCD is so greatest to view the pictures I took. It can cover to protect the LCD screen. Nice looking ,good style. But it can't take motion MPEG movie So ......I bought a new one I still chose Sony dsc-P50....Ha Ha Dsc-s30 still my best one. S30 battery life is longer then s-50 . It also can play MPEG movie in Dsc-s30. Greatest I love it...
Rating: Summary: Excellent Camera Review: I recently got this camera at a really good price. Before I purchased it, I did alot of research. I'm really happy with the choice I made. The picture quality is great, and the features make a picture ...interesting... The menu system is really easy. It is a great camera for a first-time-user.
Rating: Summary: You MUST get this camera Review: I recently purchased this camera after doing three months of research on digital camera technology. I must say that for the price of this camera it is very, very, very hard to beat. I took this camera with me on a ski trip just this last week and I couldn't believe the quality of the pictures. This camera is totally awesome and the pictures even look better than my friends Mavica FD-85 that he paid almost 200 dollars more for. The television out capability is awesome. Me and my wife snapped up a bunch of photos at the ski resort and came right back to the room and looked at them. The camera could use a viewfinder but I will tell you this. For the image quality, battery performance, plus the offered storage capcity through Sony's memory stick; I wouldn't have another camera. The camera is simply terrific and compact enough to be fesable to carry but not to small to be a problem to hold on to. By all means purchase at least a 32MB memory stick. For the average shot shooter, this will be plenty for you to work with. The USB feature is also a great added benefit to this camera. 900 kb/s transfer speeds blow away slower serial connections. If you are in the market as a first time digital camera buyer. Look no further, you won't find a better, more powerful and feature rich camera than this one for the price. Way to go Sony!
Rating: Summary: great camera Review: i think the dsc-s30 is the best digital camera sony has made. its the only one i know of with the flip screen.
Rating: Summary: Great travel companion Review: I wanted a liteweight camera to go on vacation with and the Sony DSC-S30 was the camera for the job. Not only was the S30 able to give a long battery life (I never ran out, just recharged at the hotel) but the Sony power adapter was useful with overseas voltage. The same power adapter is the same one that charges and runs my Sony Digital camera as well. Many people in my tour group were amazed at this 'wonderful' package, as I was able to show people instantly what the picture looked like. When I got back from vacationing I e-mailed pictures to some of the people in our tour and the overall reaction to the quality was great! The disk that comes with the camera has many interesting effects as in photoshop. I would recommend this camera highly for anyone who wants a great camera at a great price. Thanks again Sony!
