Sony Cybershot DSC-W30 review at DigitalCameraInfo
Posted by Steve on April 28th, 2006
A review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-W30 digital camera is available at DigitalCameraInfo.
The Sony Cybershot DSC-W30 is a 6 megapixel point and shoot camera, aimed at entry level photographer. The DSC-W30 offers a 3 times optical zoom and a 2 inch LCD display and comes at a reasonable price of around $230. Additionally, the Cybershot W30 offers a high sensitivity mode that allows you to take photos in low light situations.
The review conclusion:
“Built with the technologically disadvantaged in mind, the W30 comes with a function guide that explains what each mode is for and how to make large prints from each image size. A High Sensitivity mode also allows entry-level photographers to grab a low-light shot without the flash. This mode utilizes the high end of the wide 80-1000 ISO range included on the Cyber-shot W30. While its inclusion is a bonus for such an affordably priced digital camera, the mode itself yields less than lovely pictures. […]
Still, some drawbacks should be expected on a $229 digital camera, and, overall, the W30 is a great value. It is easy to use, its other modes produce decent pictures, and the camera body is attractive and thin, which makes it comfortably portable. The Sony W30 provides a good package and basic features, as well as a few bonuses such as the wide ISO range and function guide, at a great price.”
