Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 Camera Review
The Sony DSC T30 is a seven megapixel digital camera with a three times optical zoom lens. This is a slim digital camera and the DSC T30 will slip easily into a pocket and hence is great for travel photographers The new model is stylish and a good build quality. It is also easy to use. To sum up this is a camera that is well made and can be taking pictures as soon as you have charged and loaded the battery.
The DSC T30 also has image stabilisation. Techniques and produces images of great quality. It can produce striking colours and they are vivid without being overpowering. This makes the photographs great and well balanced.
The sharpness of the photos is another strong point in this camera. However the wear point is clarity as in many canon camera they are better. The camera is capable of handling glare from the sun and also areas of high contrast. In fact it manages to give great outdoor portrait. There is a natural feel to the outdoor shot in the camera. However the indoor shots are blighted by red eye. To correct this problem one needs to use the image manipulation software after a picture has been taken. The camera also manages to take decent close up photos and produces pictures above average in quality.
The camera does a fair job in higher ISO settings. At ISO 400 there is a loss of quality but at the maximum ISO 1000 setting there is a further deterioration in picture quality.
Key features of the camera include three times optical zoom lens that has a focal length equivalent to 38 - 114mm and also a maximum aperture of f3.5 (wide) and f4.3 (tele). Zoom options are boosted further by a 14x smart zoom feature and a 6x digital zoom and though the smart zoom offers the same quality as optical zoom; however at times it can only be used at lower resolutions. The range of scene modes available in this camera are Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Snow, Beach, High-speed shutter, Fireworks, Candle and Magnifying glass; this allows for great pictures.
