The best 1.3 megapixel camera I have seen

by vomithaus , Dec 29 '05
Pros: Good picture quality Good battery life Easy to use
Cons: A bit bulky
This was our 1st digital camera and we spent $500 on it about 3 years ago. At the time I figured that all 1.3 megapixel camera's were the same until I saw some shots from a friends D-Link. Only with full outdoor lighting was the D-Link able to ...

Pros: Easy to use, quality photos, screen moves.

I got this camera for Valentine's day last year. My husband knows how I love to send pictures to my family abroad so they can see how my daughter is growing and learning. Before, I had a normal film camera and I would have to wait for the film to be...

DSC-S30 Cybershot

by orlyaa , Dec 04 '01
Pros: Good image quality. Large number of creative controls. Swiveling LCD monitor.
Cons: No optical viewfinder. 4MB memory stick is too small.
This is my second digital camera. Coming from a purely point-and-shoot model with no creative controls whatsoever, this was a welcome change.

In addition to a point-and-shoot mode, there are two programmed AE modes: aperture priority and...

DSC-30

by nova88hb , Nov 06 '01
Pros: good zoom, good picture quality, cheap, good storage
Cons: uses batteries fast, low light is crummy
This was probably the best $450 I've spent in my life. The camera was only $300 plus tax, but the extra expenses made the camera worth while.

This camera has all the advantages of a digital camera: not waiting to see how the pictures...

Very good product.

by darkwater64 , Jun 18 '01
Pros: Great image size options, good quality pictures and excellent battery life.
Cons: not the very highest in image resolution.
A good camera, but your gonna spend much more money getting enough memory sticks to take a lot of photos. I spent another $200 getting more memory sticks and a good case for mine. It's a shame that all this did not come with it.

Great Starter Digital Camera

Pros: Inexpensive, Easy to Use, USB/PC Interface Quick and Easy
Cons: Not many visual features, Need higher capacity memory sticks for hi-res shots
I have always wanted a digital camera, but did not want to spend a ton of money for good quality and basic options. I purchased the DSC-S30 at a local HH Gregg and was taking pictures (with AC Adapter) within 15 minutes of taking it our of the box. ...

Definately worth the higher price!

by Jayx26 , Mar 29 '01
Pros: Compact size, very durable, great battery life, and numerous features.
Cons: only a 4mb memory stick included
Having tried other digital cameras out, I believe that Sony's Cybershot series are far and away some of the best out there. They range from this model, which is 1.3 mega pixels, all the way up to 3.3 mega pixels.
