Top Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 Camera Reviews
DC Resource wrote a review of the
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 and said: "Photo quality was very
good in most situations. The T30 typically took well-exposed
photos with accurate color and low noise levels. Speaking of
noise, you'll be able to make large prints through ISO 200, and
maybe at ISO 400 as well (noise reduction software will
certainly help here). The ISO 800 and 1000 settings weren't very
impressive, with lots of noise and noticeably worse color
saturation. Purple fringing levels were above average, and
redeye was a big problem as well."
Cnet reviewed the
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 and said: "Overall, the T30 didn't
impress a great deal since it retains most of its predecessor's
features, including a flimsy battery and memory stick
compartment cover. At least Sony claims the T30 has a longer
battery life of 420 shots on a single charge. So unless you
fancy a larger three-inch LCD and don't mind a bigger body, you
shouldn't retire the T9."
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 News Release Summary:
Slim DSC-T30 Model with Double Anti-Blur Protection Makes Fuzzy
Images a Thing of the Past
SAN DIEGO, April 5, 2006 — Sony is building up its arsenal of
anti-blur, digital still cameras to help people who are out on
the town win the fight against blur with the introduction of the
new 7.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-T30 model.
"When people are out having a good time, they don't want to
spend it learning how to avoid taking blurry pictures," said
James Neal, director of marketing for digital imaging products
at Sony Electronics. "We've engineered our flagship T-series
camera with intelligent, automatic features so people can spend
more time having fun and less time understanding technology."
No More Buzz Kill
Everybody's feeling the vibe and you want a group shot before
leaving dinner or the party. Don't make everyone pose and
re-pose, smiling as if they're suffering from lock jaw, while
you take shot after shot trying to get a good picture.
Equipped with double anti-blur protection, you can press the
DSC-T30 model's Super Steady Shot® optical image stabilization
and high-sensitivity mode buttons in seconds, and reduce the
chance of taking a blurry picture the very first time -
especially in low-light conditions.
The Super Steady Shot technology minimizes blur caused by shaky
hands, while the new camera's high light sensitivity (ISO 1000)
mode reduces blur resulting from shooting at faster shutter
speeds. There's even added defense with Sony's Clear RAW™ noise
reduction system, which kicks in to counter picture noise
associated with high-sensitivity shooting.
These technologies make the camera ideal for shooting in
low-light conditions, such as restaurants, bars and clubs.
Combined with its stylish finish and svelte dimensions, the
DSC-T30 camera is the perfect accessory for even the most
discerning "fashionista."
Armed with features for optimal shooting and sharing, the new
camera with its Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 3x optical zoom lens
combines power, portability and distinctive playback. Its slide
show with music function is ideal for viewing on the camera's
three-inch, Clear Photo LCD Plus™ screen.
This is Sony's first T-series model to feature selectable color
modes. Choose natural mode for subtle color variations or vivid
mode for more intense colors, depending on how you want to
preserve the mood from your night on the town.
Sony's ultra-fast Real Imaging Processor™ circuitry increases
the camera's efficiency for quicker start-up, faster
shot-to-shot times, higher-quality movie capture, and longer
battery life. Its supplied InfoLithium® battery provides plenty
of power - up to 420 shots per full charge. That's nearly double
the performance of previous T-series models.
The camera has 58MB of internal memory, just in case you forget
your memory card. Its capacity can be expanded up to two
gigabytes, however, with an optional Memory Stick Duo™ media
card.
The Cyber-shot DSC-T30 camera will be available next month for
about $500 direct at SonyStyle.com, at Sony Style retail stores
(www.sonystyle.com/retail),
and at authorized dealers nationwide. Pre-orders begin online
today at www.sony.com/T30.
The camera is supplied with an InfoLithium battery, battery
charger, multi-connector cable, wrist strap and software CD-ROM.
Optional accessories include a travel charger (BC-TR1, about
$60), Cyber-shot Station (CSS-TNA, about $80), a marine pack (MPK-THC,
about $200), and a genuine leather cover (LCJ-THA, about $40).
Make the Most of High-Resolution Images through Prints
This new high-resolution camera is ideal for making high-quality
prints. When you connect it to a Sony DPP-FP50 digital photo
printer, you can create prints, postcards, or even calendars
using the printer's supplied software.
And with Sony's ImageStation® online photo service, you can
expand your options to print tens or even hundreds of pictures,
create online photo and video albums, or make customized gifts
such as photo books and calendars.
