Description
Take it with you! At around 5 ounces and less than 1" thin, you'd hardly believe this digital-camera was made for pro performance. The DSC-T30 is the cool, sharp ultra-slim Cyber-shot(R) camera that turns on inspiration, turns off blur -- with high-tech creative features for shooting and sharing, including 7.2 megapixel resolution, High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) for superb results without flash to preserve the mood or shoot in areas where flash isn't permitted, and the Super SteadyShot(R) system to reduce blur from shaky hands. You can also create slide shows with select music playback for viewing on an extra-large 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus screen. With high-res still and movie modes, the DSC-T30 is the camera to take with you (and your family) on vacations to Disney or around the world. Even your backyard or room.

Great size but terrible shutter lag
[ Posted: 2008-05-07 ]
This camera is a great basic point and shoot. However my major gripe and the reason I am going to sell this and buy a different digital camera is its shutter lag. It takes so long from pressing the button to take the picture to actually taking the picture (with auto flash). I primarily use it to take photos of my small children and I am constantly missing those 'adorable' moments. Group photos are difficult too as the first flash seems to indicate to the group that the photo has been taken and they move before the second flash has occurred - thus messing up the photo. Not worth the money when there are cheaper, faster, cameras available out there.
Beware E62:10 Error Code
[ Posted: 2008-03-01 ]
I paid about $400.00 for this camera. I liked it at first and was impressed with the magnifying mode. Pictures were good, but I think the Exilim takes better pictures. After about a year and a half of operation, the image stabilization started to vibrate causing the camera to be unuseable. This problem got worse over time. The camera flashed an error code E62:10 on the LCD. I googled the error code and found a sea of people out there with the same problem. Some of them could hit there camera and make it work and some could not. Thet are getting repair quotes for over $200. My camera was never dropped or abused. The problem seemed to start in real humid weather. Dry weather helped at first, but eventually it made no difference. I would be aware of this camera or any of Sony's image stabilization cameras based upon the number of people on forums with this same problem. It's a nice feature but high maintenance with a large repair tag.
Happy buyer

I have had my Sony Cybershot DSC T100 8mp for over 6 months now, and love every minute using it. It does eveything that the reviewers say it will do (and more). The picture quality and "ease of use" are excellent, and the 3" LCD screen is just fantastic. It replaces an older model Sony Cybershot that I have, and I couldn't be more pleased. It is compact and has all that you would every want in a digital camera. I purchased it from Amazon. It arrived on time, and the price was the lowest in the market.
Almost a perfect camera.

I can confirm the white spots (see Sony KB article C388461), at times almost looks like water drops as others have mentioned. It only happens indoor flash shooting with low light at a distance. I picked this slim line version because of the slick 3" screen and all black back finish. Retrospect I would have gotten the W55.
Additional note objects further than 10 feet away will be out of focus, especially in low light. Dont waste your time/money. I really tried to ignor these flaws, but in the end could not and returned. Definitly go with W55. You will get even better performance with W80 (however the menu system is more complex and you dont get batt time remaining???!!!)
Okay camera...there is better out there

Some of my pictures come out blurred no matter how steady I hold the camera. The steady shot seems to do nothing. The shutter speed is a lot faster than my old digital, so that I like. The pictures that don't come out blurred come out great.
