Take it with you! At around 5 ounces and less than 1" thin, you'd hardly believe this digital-camera was made for pro performance. The DSC-T30 is the cool, sharp ultra-slim Cyber-shot(R) camera that turns on inspiration, turns off blur -- with high-tech creative features for shooting and sharing, including 7.2 megapixel resolution, High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 1000) for superb results without flash to preserve the mood or shoot in areas where flash isn't permitted, and the Super SteadyShot(R) system to reduce blur from shaky hands. You can also create slide shows with select music playback for viewing on an extra-large 3.0" Clear Photo LCD Plus screen. With high-res still and movie modes, the DSC-T30 is the camera to take with you (and your family) on vacations to Disney or around the world. Even your backyard or room. Scene Modes - Beach, Fireworks, High Sensitivity, High Speed Shutter, Landscape, Snow, Soft Snap, Twilight, Twilight Portrait / Still Image Modes - JPEG (Fine/Standard), Burst, Multi-Burst, Auto Bracketing / MPEG Movie Mode - MPEG VX Fine (640 X 480, 30 fps) with Audio, (MPEG VX Fine Requires Memory Stick(R) PRO media) MPEG VX Standard (640 X 480, 16.6 fps) with Audio, Video Mail (160 x 112, 8.3fps) with Audio Internal mic and speaker Picture Effects - Color Mode(s) - Black & White, Natural, Rich, Sepia ISO - Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000 adjustable sensitivity Memory Stick PRO Duo Media Compatibility - Tested to support up to 2GB media capacity; does not support Access Control security function Battery Type - InfoLithium(R) NP-FR1 3-Inch LCD Screen Unit Dimensions - 3-3/4 x 2-1/4 x 15/16 (95 x 56.5 x 23.3 mm) / Weight - 4.9 oz (139 g) Body; 6.2 oz (162 g) Body with Battery, Media and Wrist Strap

Excellent, class leading DSLR, but not perfect (what is?) 4 out of 5 stars.
22 of 23 people found this review helpful.

I have a Canon 5D and although it produces impressive pictures, I found too many of my pictures were blurred and I found myself not carrying my 5D around as it was a heavy camera (front heavy and hard to hold still IMHO) with the 24-105mm lens attached (hence the blurred shots). I started to look for a smaller and lighter camera - comfort was a major issue as was the size of the viewfinder and quality of the LCD as the 5D's LCD is frankly poor - very hard to tell if something was sharply focused or the appropriate colour. I tried out the following:

Pentax K20 - didn't like the focusing system or the LCD menu system, but otherwise impressed with the camera. Also, it's not a Nikon or Canon which is attractive given their saturation of the market - it's good not to go with the herd sometimes! Good range of lenses.
Nikon D80 - uncomfortably ergonomics for me, as with the D300, the thumb rest digs right into the lower joint of my thumb making it hard to hold firmly, I also didn't like the reversal of the focus and zoom rings on their lenses (focus at the back, zoom at the front).
Nikon D300 - very nice camera, but almost 100g heavier than the 5D!
Canon 40D - very similar to the 5D in terms of size, weight and shape. Comfortable but bland ergonomics and still on the heavy side. Nice big viewfinder, very impressive large information in the viewfinder too, compatible with my existing lenses. But it's a Canon (I have an aversion to monopolies or duopolies - it's not good for consumers or innovation!) and with their quality 17-80 lens it was going to weigh little less than the 5D.
Olympus 510 - brilliant size, weight and comfortable ergonomics, good kit lenses. I don't like the 4/3rds system (a smaller sensor just can't be better as I found with comparisons to the 5D and it makes the viewfinder very small) and their menu system is plain ugly. With a 900,000 pixel moveable screen and cleaner menu, Olympus would corner the small DSLR market.

I decided to buy an A700 with a Carl Zeiss 16-80 lens and have used it for a couple of weeks and overall I am very happy - I use it far more than the 5D as it is light and small and easy to carry. On the downside, the picture quality is not as good as the 5D especially at high ISOs where the Sony is noticeably grainy. Amateur Photographer has a review in their current issue which shows that in terms of IQ, resolution and noise the 5D beats the D300 and 40D, so the A700 really can't compete. But there's no point having the best camera sitting at home gathering dust.

Sony A700 Pros:
- Lightweight and small compared to others in class.
- Very nice ergonomics and comfort in the hand. Easy to hold very tight with very little camera wobble compared to the 5D which is front-heavy and less easy to hold still.
- Brilliant LCD, easy to check colour accuracy and sharpness - don't even need to zoom to check focus. Sony and Nikon are miles ahead of Canon, Olympus and Pentax here.
- Carl Zeiss lens is lightweight and small too, with a very useful range. Very sharp and colourful lens.
- Very bright and large viewfinder - which is so important and put me off Canon's 20D and 30D a few year's ago which have small, pokey viewfinders.
- Anti-shake device is superb, makes a huge difference and in my view is better than the lens version with Canon and Nikon. It applies to all lenses which is a major plus.
- I love the shake level meter in the viewfinder window. It is brilliant and almost on its own has made me a convert to the A700. A little chart fluctuates depending on camera shake, so you wait until the chart drops and then take the picture - it is so helpful.
- White balance settings have 7 variable settings (-3, 0, +3) which is very helpful.
- Lovely clean menu system, easier and quicker than Canon and up there with Nikon's which is also lovely to use. Olympus and Pentax really needs to take note, as their menus are cluttered and not intuitive. The A700's menu is a pleasure to navigate.
- Dedicated ISO, drive, WB and exposure buttons is very quick and useful, all are large and easy to press and can be used without even taking one's eye away from the viewfinder. Also a custom function button (NOT a direct printer button like Canon!). I don't miss the top LCD screen at all - big buttons are more helpful!
- Compressed RAW looks as good as RAW but takes less space and time.
- Outdoor shots are very sharp, very colourful and contrasty. I mainly take travel and outdoor pics so this camera really suits my style and needs.

Sony A700 Cons:
- Picture quality and resolution is not up to Canon 5D standards (but matches 40D and D80 etc). I appreciate they are not like-for-like cameras or in the same class, and the 5D is full frame etc, but it is 3+ years old. My experience is borne out by Amateur Photographer - full frame is best. I should add that at low ISOs (200 or below) and shooting RAW or cRAW the Sony output is almost as good as the Canon, which when coupled with the Sony's size, weight, LCD and anti-shake device is enough for me.
- Where the Sony suffers is at higher ISOs. At 800 the 5D has almost zero grain or noise whereas the Sony, to me, is noisy in the shadows and darkers areas of the pic. If you mainly shoot indoors or in low light, this may not be the right camera for you.
- Poor dedicated range of lenses. Not as many lenses as available for Canon and not the same quality either in terms of build and glass. Too many of the Sony lenses I have read about have had poor reviews. No problems if you have Minolta glass - but again, not the range or quality of Canon.
- Too few Sony lenses have USM/HSM/SSM etc motors. The Zeiss lens is quick but not as quick as my Canon lenses with USM motors. More importantly the Zeiss lens is very "squeaky" in use - when going from completely out of focus to focus there is an audible whirr and squeak as it is not an SSM lens. Only the high-end telephotos have SSM. Also, many of the Sigma lenses don't have HSM while they do for Canon and Nikon mounts making them also loud and slower.
- WB under incandescent light is poor - very orange cast and even with the parameters being changed, is still badly inaccurate.
- There is no ISO reading in the viewfinder info bar which would be helpful and is standard at this level of DSLR.
- The AEL button is very raised away from the body, as a result, when pressed, it is hard to keep my glasses close to the viewfinder and my view becomes distorted - this is actually quite annoying, but nevertheless not a deal breaker by any means.
- The rubber grips on the lens are very fine and are a dust magnet. It's a really minor point, but after one week my Carl Zeiss lens looked shabby because any dust and dirt gets stuck in the fine rubber ridges and is really hard to clean.

Overall:
Overall the Sony A700 is a really excellent camera if you shoot at low ISOs (800 or under), mainly shoot outdoors and want something light and compact to carry all day. If you are coming from film where shooting higher than ISO 400 was virtually unheard of, this is a great camera. I give it 4 stars not 5 as it is not perfect (though arguably no camera is perfect, and this comes as close as any) - to me it is a bit too noisy from ISO 400 up, certainly compared to the D300 with which it shares a sensor. But, it doesn't matter 90% of the time. V Highly Recommended.

Pretty and small but a few flaws 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I "upgraded" to this camera from my previous DSC-N1. I have always had Sony cameras and I love them in general. They take beautiful pictures, are easy to use and I've had very few problems with them. This is my fourth. I take A LOT of pictures. My kids consider me their personal paparazzi, so I do give my cameras a workout. I was swayed into getting this camera because I liked the way it looked, but there are a few things about it I find disappointing. I have a Sony Vaio computer and in the past, I have always just popped my memory stick (with the adapter for the duo) into my computer to transfer the pictures. That way I don't have to mess with cables since I am using a laptop. This camera has 4 GB of internal memory, which is a great feature. However, you can't choose to save to the memory stick pro duo instead. The camera will only allow you to use that when the internal memory is full. That is a huge disappointment for me. Unless you fill the internal memory and keep it full all the time, you can't use the memory stick. Also, the position of the lens is very close to the top of the camera. This means when some people use it (doesn't usually happen to me), they put their finger right over it. So I end up with lots of pictures with fingers over the people. I think it is because the camera is so small, it is hard to get a good grip on it. My last complaint is the button for viewing the pictures. I think it is awkward and hard to press. All in all, very nice camera. But there are definite improvements to be made.

Editorial Review:

The Cyber-shot DSCT2 is more than a high function camera. The large capacity 4GB internal memory means that you can carry them around as a digital album, and show your pictures to your families and friends.The internal memory also includes a new and easy way to upload the stored images to a blog or photo-sharing service with the share mark function. The advanced touch screen user interface combines with the Album function and also automatically detects a smile with the Smile Shutter.With 5 vivid color variations and a highly distinctive full flat front design, the DSCT2 responds to the wide-ranging needs of the net-generation user.A lifetime of memories the huge 4GB internal memory allows you to store up to 40000 photos.

This is not for Sony T and N Series 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

You can always put a digital camera in a Handy Cam Bag, that does not mean that Handy Cam Bag is a digital camera bag right? This is what the situation is with this bag. It almost has a capacity to keep two Sony T or N series cameras.

This Camera bag is good for any midsize digital camera with two extra pockets to keep extra battery, memory stick etc. Cameras like DSC W1, W5, W7, W55, W30, S85, S650, S90, S60 etc. will go fine with this bag.

The quality of Bag is very good but this is not meant for Sony T or N series cameras.

Not compatible with Sony Dsc W-series cameras 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Looks great. Includes matching wrist-strap for camera. Apparently Sony was aware that their cameras had little rings on the side for wrist-straps to attach to, because they included a color coordinated wrist strap with this case to use with the camera. That said, it's a bit disappointing that they forgot their cameras had little rings on the side for wrist-straps, because the camera case isn't wide enough to allow the camera to fit in evenly. The wrist-strap attachment on the camera doesn't fit into the case without literally jamming it in corner first and then the side of the case looks like it's about to explode outward from the pressure of the camera wrist case ring poking out. Definitely not recommended for the DSC-W series of Sony cameras.

Editorial Review:

Turn heads when you protect your Cyber-shot W and T Series digital camera with the unique and stylish LCS-TWB/H carrying case. This soft leather case features a chrome ring that adds a designer touch. An included matching wrist strap and easy-open magnetic closure make this case the perfect fashion accessory for your digital camera.

If you want a camera that at least takes some decent quality pictures DO NOT buy Sony Cybershot T70... image quality sucks... I regret I did not go for the Canon IS1100.

Poor Picture Quality 3 out of 5 stars.

I also own a similar older Sony Cybershot camera and the picture quality was much better on it. It seems this camera is about style over substance. I like how the cover slides down and the large touch screen, but the picture quality is sub-par. As stated in earlier reviews, artificial lighting pics are not good at all.

Nice looking case, Latch is rediculous 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is one of the better (the best?) looking cases for cybershot cameras. Unfortunately the weak magnetic latch mechanism isn't something that can be relied upon to prevent your camera from hurtling towards the concrete. Don't trust it (hasn't happened to me but easily could), make sure you hold the case upright and with the caution. Also, there is no belt loop or other means to attach this case to anything else. So effectively what this case does is for me is sit inside another case which holds my extra memory, battery, etc. Not exactly the use I had in mind. It's a bit too bulky to fit inside your pocket without looking awkward. It is decently padded inside, but the weak latch is really a potential problem.

All in all I would not recommend this case unless the issues above aren't important to you and aesthetic considerations are your only concern. I suggest buying one of those hideous nylon cases which may look bulky and dorky but at least will do the simple job they where designed for.

Oh yeah, no pockets or sleeves for anything else in this case, not even a tiny extra memory card or anything. A functionally bad design all things considered.
