Summary: E-mail feature
Review: The e-mail feature is great (even though at first glance, it looks like a waste of marketing). When then camera is in email mode, it will save the high-quality picture, AND it will save a 15k copy of the picture. This "thumbnail version" is a very handy size to post to a personal website.The high-quality setting will take 550k/picture so the included 4mb card will hold 7 pictures. If you don't use the extra digital zoom, you will get 4x6 prints that are worthy of framing.

Review: the only good thing about this is that it is cheap. i have seen much higher quality cameras for a better price, dont get pulled in by the name "sony" cuz all it means is name brand. if money isnt a problem get a nikon, and if quality is a must, get a nikon, it bit depth is a want, get a nikon.

Review: Upgrades you NEED!!! ...Battery and Charger...16 MB Memory Stick----MSA-16A You NEED the Battery and Charger because normal batteries only last about 15 min. You NEED the 16 MB Memory Stick because the camera only comes with a 4 MB Stick and that is DEFINATELY not enough.

Review: I already had a Sony DSC S50 for myself and was looking for another less expensive camera for my daughter. I purchased the P30 for her and assumed that it was accessorized like my own camera. After purchase, I realized that the camera kit DID NOT INCLUDE a rechargeable power supply or recharger. The supplied AA batteries will only last about 2 hours under the best conditions. The batteries were shot by the time I familiarized myself with the operating manual. You can purchase an accessory kit from Sony for about $99 that includes a rechargable lithium battery, charger, and a camera case. I would have preferred to purchase the camera with this equipment included.

Summary: Sony has done it again, at an awesome price!
Review: Ive had a few digital cameras in the past 2 years, but none of the came to the quality and features that I wanted. Being the techno freak I am, I wanted a camera that could do anything I wanted it to. I was almost set on an Olympus when this Sony came in at my work. It was love at first site. For a bit more money I was getting a much better zoom, movie recorder and Sony quality. Needless to say, I got it on my Birthday and I could not be happier. Setting it up is incredibly easy *as most of Sony products are* and using it makes even a novice an expert with a few hours of practice. The layout of the camera is comfortable and lightweight, Easily held in one hand to take pictures. The LCD is bright and crisp and show almost no slowdown when viewing it. A very nice turn nob selects the mode on the camera, No more fiddling with menus on the LCD. The 3xoptical zoom is great when you want to get a little closer. An optional 6xdigital is there to, but the pictures turn out to fuzzy. This camera could do anything you want it to, macro shots, low light, fast action, low light, low background light, movies,clip art, clip motion, red eye reduction and more! The menus system is very straightforward, hard to screw up. Picture quality is awesome. Though sometimes a bit soft, easily rectified with the Photosuite 8.1 the camera comes with. It would be hard pressed to get a better program without spending alot of money. Installation of the USB software takes just minutes, and a full 32 meg Stick takes just 30 seconds to upload. *no more serial!* One bad side, this thing eats batteries like Joan Collins goes through makeup. I went through 6AA alkaline in 3 hours the first day. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting rechargebles, Nickel Metal Hydride perferred, this camera loves its batteries. Also, recommend getting a bigger Sony Stick, the included 4 meg only does 6 pics at highest setting, a 32meg will get you 50. *what I use* In all, I am very much enjoying this camera and taking great photos. If you interested in seeing what some look like email me at icewind@montana.com and I'll give you a link. For people who want to get into the Digital realm but want a low price for great quality, the SONY DSC-P30 is absolutely hard to beat!

Summary: Super Camera!!!
Review: I really like this camera. It was easy to install the drivers on both my MAC and my PC. I have already uploaded pics to both computers and used them on ebay auctions with no problem. I was pleasently surprised to find a Sony camera in this price range and it has lived up to my expectations. Some people have said it eats batteries and I guess that is true with all of these cameras. You will definetly have to buy a battery pack and recharger as well as extra memory sticks. But once all of that is purchased it is all set.

Summary: Very happy with this camera!
Review: This is my first attempt at a digital camera, and I feel very fortunate to have purchased this one. I did a lot of research online, looking for models that were not over $300, that would work on both my PC and my MAC. I also wanted to be able to use a USB connection. After alot of searching, I was pretty sure I was going to get the Kodak with MP3 player and Video, but when I got to the store and found this Sony, I was quick to change my mind. After comparing the 2 and realizing that for only about $40 more I could have so many more features, I went for it. It has a great LCD to catch the action and has an optical as well as digital zoom. I also like the fact that it has a lens cover. It is very small and easy to hold when taking pictures. I am very disapointed, however, in the short battery life, but guess that goes along with just about any digicam. The 4mb memory stick is also pretty disapointing, but both of these things can be taken care of by buying accessories. I had no problem taking photos and I had no problem installing the drivers onto either of my computers. Pictures showed up where they were supposed to and I have already used them on a few auctions. Sony has always been good to me and I expect to get a lot of years out of this camera. Also the instruction booklet is very precise and easy to understand. One more gripe, if you will, is I would have liked to have seen them include audio in the videos I can take, but overall this is a fine camera in my opinion!

Summary: Awsome litte thing...
Review: This camera is great! Its compact in size, so it goes everywhere with me, it got tons of feature for the prize you pay. The LCD display is sharp and very clear. The only downside is that it goes throught batteries quickly, the batteries that come with it, didn't even last the frist day... so plan to spend some more on the sony's rechargable batteries and charger. Or get some rechargable NiMH batteries yourself. But overall great product for its prize.

Review: I bought this camera at a military exchange for pretty cheap. For my first Digital Camera I made a fine choice. You can never go wrong with Song first off. The camera is pretty basic, I didn't even read the instructions before using. It takes great photos and is pretty durable. Being in the military, I've taken this thing around the world and have had no ill effects. The only problem I can think of is that the delay is pretty long. This camera is no good for quick pictures, but I've worked around it. I also would recommend a memory stick upgrade. The one that comes with it only holds about 10 pictures. That's ok at home but over seas you have to have more memory. For a first time digital camera buyer, I most diffently recommend this camera.

Summary: Great for traveling
Review: In the world of electronics, you really cannot go wrong with Sony. I use this camera for work and travel, and it never dissapoints. Light, but clear, it will go with you and take great sharp pictures with ease. The nice thing about this, and other digital cameras, is you can pick what pictures you want to print and which ones to throw away. Easy to share pictures with family online, and keep on your computer for easy storage. I would recommend this camera for novices-experts.
