This camera corrects every single pet peeve regarding digital cameras I’ve ever had. I’ve owned a Sony Powershot and Canon Exlim in the past. The main problems I’ve had were blurry shots when I go out with friends to dim restaurants at night, missing shots because of the prolonged lag (esp from the Powershot), and forgetting to put the memory card back in the camera after I downloaded the last batch of pics I took.
The T30′s Steady Shot works really well. While holding the camera with one hand, I purposely tremored my hand while taking a pic of a still subject; the shot turned out perfect. However, when I take the pic while shaking the camera, the pic still blurs…but really who really shakes their camera when taking a pic?
When the camera is set to full automatic point and shoot, the lag time is pretty much unnoticeable. I was at a wedding where the bridal party was walking into the dinner hall….caught every shot and didn’t miss the ball because of lag.
58MB of internal memory is awesome. I can take 30 really high quality pics when I forget my mem stick…enough to cover an evening out in the city … but definitely not enough for a vacation trip.
These were the main things which made me choose this camera over others. Another plus which is nice is the 3in screen with slideshow feature…my friends were really impressed with this (esp the lady friends hehe).
Otherwise, size wise, this camera is not the smallest. The Casio Exlim is definitely smaller and lighter than the T30, but it has features the Exlim is lacking in. But don’t get me wrong, this camera is not big at all by any standard, it’s only 0.1cm thicker than the Exlim. It still easily fits in my suit breast pocket and is not a hassle to tote around.

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.

Amazon needs a commenting feature for reviews so that we don’t need to actually submit a whole review to make a comment about another review.
Anyhow, just wanted to say that the reason why “sunshine lover” has had problems with a dark face is not the fault of the camera nor because of color balancing. EVERY camera will do this when using matrix or scene average type auto exposure. The problem is that a camera does not have the dynamic range to capture details in BOTH a dimly lit object (face in shadows) AND a bright background. So it has to choose one of them to properly expose. Since the overall scene is bright, it sets the exposure (aperture and shutter speed) as such. Even if you “spot” expose or use exposure compensation, to properly expose the face, the background would then be overexposed and show up as bright white.
The only way to really “solve” this problem is to either set up the shot so that the face gets more light, or turn on the flash so that the face is bright enough to match the exposure of the bright background scene. Use the flash – it’s a very common technique for getting proper exposure of shaded faces.

great camera, the image stablilzer isnt so much better then other models from other companies. BUT, the RAW(an algorithum applied at the code itself, as opposed to after interpolation of the image)image noise reducer really works well. I can’t say enough about that feature. I mean at iso 1k, there’s still a “little bit” of noise, but it’s not nearly as bad(most people wont notice it, certainly not the common user) as some of the older cameras that just fully blurred out. DO get the lcd protector/cover(they sell them here at amazon, i dont know what brand), otherwise the lcd will get scratched from just being in pocket with keys.
edit 10/10/06:taken lots of photos with it, and I need to clarify that there is noise in the higher iso settings, just less then other camers. You also have to zoom in on high def photos to really notice it. Also, the camera costs much less elsewhere, usually fifty dollars less then here. Try new egg dot com, they have it for twentyish less with free one gig pro duo card.

I own five digital cameras.This little gem is the best of the lot.The pictures are sharp both inside & outside. I have not tried the movie mode as they do not interest me.The camera performs like a precision instructment should.If you are looking for a small shirt pocket camera, this is for you.
I bought this from Amazon & received it right on time.
