 Sony W30 review at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Sony Cybershot DSC W30 digital camera. The Sony W30 offers a six Megapixel image resolution, a precision Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens, and MPEG1 movie recording. The Sony Cybershot DSC W30 includes high light-sensitivity settings up to ISO 1000, which allow for shooting at higher shutter speeds to capture fast-moving subjects with less blur. Furthermore the Sony W30 camera features a new user interface. When menu icons are selected, such as a specific shooting function or scene mode, a text explanation is displayed on the LCD making it easier to take a great shot.

 Sony Cybershot W30 - LCD monitor
According to Steve Digicams: "The placement of the 2-inch LCD leaves room above it for the optical viewfinder. The LCD is quite usable in most sunny outdoor conditions despite the absence of a brightness control. It's also usable in dim lighting, intensifying the viewfinder image to help you compose the shot. But LCD viewfinders do have their limitations, and while higher-end digital cameras are trending to ever larger LCD's at the expense of optical viewfinders, we're happy that Sony chose to include an optical viewfinder on the entry-level W30"
Sony W30 review conclusion - Steves Digicams
Steve continues: "Shooting performance was quite good for a camera in this class. Power up to first image captured measured just 1.5 seconds. I was pleased with the image quality of the W30's 6M Fine mode. Outdoor images were well-exposed and sharp with true to life colors. Indoor shots are limited to small rooms and small group portraits because of the W30's limited flash range (13 feet at wide angle) and the lens limited field of view at its full 38mm wide angle. Portraits had realistic skin tones, but the red eye reduction flash mode proved only marginally effective because of its relatively weak power."
