Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S30 Digital Camera

Pros: Price/performance ratio, strong rechargeable battery, optional lenses/filters
Cons: Memory stick less convenient than floppys, and has limited storage

I needed a camera pronto. I've been captivated by the ease of use and creative possibilities of digital cameras from the beginning, so that decision was an easy one. I drove all over town comparison shopping and settled on this Sony model. The reasons...

Pros: excellent, easy to use digital that will give you professional results for a small price
Cons: Memory stick (digital film) included with camera is only 4 mb, too small

This camera was my Christmas present from my husband. I have been an amateur photographer since college and own three 35mm cameras and many lens, a video camera and also collect vintage cameras. I picked this camera after researching digital cameras...

Pros: Moveable display

I bought this camera primarily for business use, but now find myself using it for pleasure.
The original premise was a simple one. My customers would send me out to evaluate a machine, and of course they would want photos along with my report. The...

Pros: The New Millenium in Photography is here!
Cons: You MUST buy more than the camera itself.

I'm the first to admit that he high price was somewhat of a road block to purchase but, I'm glad I found my way around it.
This is a nifty little camera well worth the price.. The pictures are clear and true to color.. The camera has various options...

Pros: Easy to use, quality photos, screen moves.
Cons: None

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...

i paid $399 for mine one sale and what a deal it was! this camera has it all. the feature i like most is the fold out LCD screen. this allows you to turn it around when not in use to help prevent scratches. this has USB cables so you can connect to your...

Pros: Picture Quality, Ease of Use
Cons: LCD visibility in bright sunshine

I received a Sony Cyber-Shot from an associate who knows nothing about electronics. But it turns ou ...

Pros: battery life, image quality, durability, functional, easy to use.
Cons: none

This camera is amazing. The image quality is awesome,as well is everything about this camera. The flash is bright and the thing is built tough. I like that you can flip the lcd 180degrees to protect it from damage when not in use. Another thing that I...

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.

Ease of use...

Pros: Image Quality, Good Zoom, Good Battery
Cons: Only comes with a 4MB memory stick

I bought this product because I was looking for a high-quality digital camera. Having used the Sony Mavica series at work and other Sony electronics at home, I decided to buy this camera. I have proceeded to use this camera for many tasks, including...

Pros: Ease of use, size and price
Cons: Limited zoom, no viewfinder

I bought this camera because of the price. I really only looked at the Sony line. Every picture I have taken comes out beautiful but the camera takes some getting used to. Very easy to use but there are a couple of drawbacks. I never use the digital...

As my first digital camera, it is great! Not top of the line but it has everything I need; nothing I don't. Great clarity, landscapes and indoors. The original battery is rechargeable using an in-camera recharger and cord. Other brands make you buy a rechargeable battery - unacceptable. The rotating LCD is nice for fun pictures so you can view the picture as you take it (ie. at concerts or of yourself with friends). Megapixels above 1.3 are now available. Minor drawbacks: 1)LCD is hard to see in bright light. 2)Like most cameras, you'll want to buy a bigger memory stick. Overall, I recommend this camera to anyone - especially beginners.

I have taken a couple thousand pictures with this model and love the overall results. It is small enough to fit in my pocket, lasts all day typically on a battery, great simple point and shoot digital with good picture quality in doors and outside. The telephoto capability is great for most all general applications, I have used it on travel for landscapes, at weddings, for baby photos, close up of automobile details and general everyday photos. I upgraded with a 64MB and a 128MB memory sticks and a second battery, which never lets me run out of power or capacity. This combination provides a couple days of good continuous travel tour shooting without a down load to the laptop. I have recommended this model to several persons and everyone that sees my photos are impressed. The only drawback that I see is it is difficult to see the viewfinder in bright sunlight and dark evening or in door places at night.
