DigitalCameraInfo.com has reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 and thinks it over-priced and I tend to agree.
"The 7.2-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 offers consumers a lot of style, some imaging capabilities, and little overall value. The camera is nicely packaged in a metal body that is skinny enough to slide into a pocket, but also has a few features that make it easier to handle than most ultra-compact digital cameras. The Sony T30 has some positive points to its components too: the image stabilization is effective in keeping shakes out of the 3x optical zoom, the 3-inch LCD screen is large and has good resolution, and the ISO extends to a sensitive 1000 rating for low light shots. There are drawbacks too: the burst mode is slow, the LCD is fragile, and the movie mode requires a separate Memory Stick Pro Duo card to function at full speed. The pictures from the Sony T30 look good and the movies garnered from the Pro card look good, but the quality still doesn’t justify the enormous price tag. At $499, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 is the most expensive ultra-slim digital camera on the market."
Equipped with double anti-blur protection, you can press the Sony DSC-T30’s Super Steady Shot® optical image stabilization and high-sensitivity mode buttons in seconds, and reduce the chance of taking a blurry picture the very first time – especially in low-light conditions.

The longer I own and use this camera, the more enthusiastic I become about it - and I was happy with it from day one. Each use in a different situation proves how brilliant it is. Good photos in low light situations of all kinds. Not always”perfect”, professional-result photos in low light, but certainly good enough to share with others in situations where other digicams can’t take pictures at all. If there is any ambient light around, the pictures will be fine. The videos are excellent quality, with good sound pickup. I took vids and photos of jellyfish in a darkened aquarium and most of them came out fine. Love the slideshow feature and use it all the time. Am starting to take more and more vids, and loving it. Perfect for animal photos without flash, thus eliminating “green eye”, the animal equivalent of red-eye. The 3″ LCD screen is wonderful, and I have always been able to see my subjects, in bright sunlight or almost no light. Something new users might not notice or understand - there is a setting for ‘vivid’ color, a setting for ‘normal’ color, and one for ‘natural’ color. When I first got the camera I had it set on ‘normal’, but noticed that the photos tended to look a little over-saturated. Once I set it on ‘natural’, that disappeared. It’s all a matter of taste, I guess - but very nice to have the choice.
Using this camera just makes me want to use it more and more. I can’t say enough good things about it.
