Never miss a memorable moment with the Sony bubblegum camera

by jedi29 , Jan 25 '04
Pros: size, image quality, feature set, regular batteries
Cons: no optical zoom, red eye, digital zoom, extra memory stick
When my wife went shopping for a digital camera she had 2 requirements. First of all, she wanted something small enough to take everywhere. Second, she wanted something that was easy to use. At the time we had a 3-year-old Sony DSC S70 that we ...

Excellent Camera for what it is

by iamjames , Oct 25 '05
Pros: TINY! 2mp, flash, cheap... TINY! viewfinder, uses AAA batteries, sony quality... did I mention TINY?!
Cons: for it's size & price there's no cons.
First, let me tell you a little about my previous experience because after reading the reviews I can see there's people on here who's owned a dozen digital cameras and others where this is their first and their opinions are very different. This ...

A most useful little camera

by thejester69 , Dec 23 '03
Pros: small size, takes aaa batteries, includes charger, easy to use, useful exposure modes
Cons: proprietary memory sticks, no digital zoom, no manual mode, thick shape, small LCD, no viewfinder
The DSC u30 has many good points, and a few flaws. Its size and ease of use are excellent, the battery life is phenomenal, likely due to the small LCD and auto off feature. I used one set of AAA batteries for a week in Mexico, and continued to use them ...

Good casual camera

by randolf_g , Feb 20 '04
Pros: Built in flash, rechargable batteries, video shots.
Cons: No zoom, batteries don't last extremely long, needs rechargable batteries.
I enjoy taking pictures- it's fun to point and click and know that you're always going to have a momento of the occasion. I used to use cameras with film (this was a long time ago), and I'd think to myself "wouldn't it be absolutely incredible if there ...

Great Grab and Go camera.

by dr427 , Aug 15 '03
Pros: Size, Size, Size! Image Quality, Ease of Use, and Price.
Cons: Image Size (only 2MP)& No External Output.
I have now gone through 3 digital cameras in an effort to find one that I will faithfully use. A few years ago I started with the high-end Nikon Coolpix 850 and decided it was WAY to much camera for the average consumer. Next I stepped down to the Sony ...

Great camera, but not perfect...

by mmpc , May 17 '04
Pros: Good to excellent picture quality, tiny size, flash, 2 megapixels, memory stick media.
Cons: No tripod mounting hole (why???), LCD panel is exposed and easily scratched.
As others have stated, this is an excellent beginning camera and one that can easily be worn (with included neck lanyard) or stashed in a pocket. The picture quality is very good for its size and it's simple to use. Battery life is fair to good, ...

You'll use it all the time!

by ribcookie , Oct 25 '03
Pros: small and cute. The everyday camera.
Cons: Small screen, average battery life, lack of compression options, no zoom or optical view.
A camera is used to capture images which can be reviewed at a later date. Knowing this, I'm glad i purchased the Cyber Shot U30 from Sony. First and foremost, this is a very basic point and shoot camera with no zoom. Yes, there are better cameras out ...

Small size, but only fair quality pictures...

by xtechguy , Apr 25 '04
Pros: Great Size Long Battery Life Multi-Voltage Adaptor
Cons: Low Quality Photos Expensive Memory Small LCD No Date Imprint Power Cable Larger Than Camera!
I bought this camera yesterday after reading all the good reviews here, but I must say I'm very disappointed in the quality of the pictures. On the highest setting (2.0 MP) the quality is only so-so, and on the only other setting (640X480), it's ...

Use Your Head!!!

by sailingshot , Apr 27 '05
Pros: Small, small and good pics with practice.
Cons: May seem a bit expensive for what it is.
It cracks me up to read reviews critical of this camera's picture quality. This is a TINY 2 megapixel unit. Here's what to expect: 1) Near instant startup 2) So-so picture quality in poor light 3) Better picture quality in good light 4) Surprising ...

Perfect travel camera!

by bowdidge , Jul 27 '04
Pros: perfect size, doesn't look like a camera
Cons: images are ok, few manual controls
The Sony DSC-U30 is my travel camera. It may not give me as much control over my images, or give me 4 megapixel images, but I can't imagine going anywhere without it. The biggest advantage is size. The camera will fit in my jeans pocket, or I can ...

I love this little camera

by serent , Sep 01 '05
Pros: Great picture quality, tiny size, easy interface, takes standard batteries, instant startup
Cons: Focus sometimes poor (in low-light), blurry pics in low-light (without flash), no zoom, no sound
I bought a Cybershot U30 because it was small and on sale. However, I've come to really love it. Though it lacks a zoom and the megapixel count isn't high, it's tiny, well designed and takes high quality pictures. The colors in pictures are accurate: ...

Name is misleading, for such a great camera.

by jjjamack , Sep 16 '03
Pros: Great camera, Great size. It can Fit in your pocket, thus can always carry.
Cons: No eyepiece viewer (Good for out door use). No 20x zoom or 5 Megapixel ccd.
Body is very compact and useful. But a belt clip carrying case should of been included. A screw hole ...

Pros: Size,Picture quality,macro,ease of use,integrated lens cover
Cons: No zoom,bad mpeg video quality
I must say, I was weary about spending that much money on a compact digital camera, knowing that the price will probly come down as soon as I drive out of the parking lot, but hey, its a sony. I'm quite content with my accassional photo grabbing olympus ...
