A stylish, high-resolution digicam that is pocketable and has dual image stabilisation systems.The DSC-T30 Cyber-shot is the eighth and highest-resolution model in Sony's slimline digicam range but shares many features with earlier models. Equipped with a 7.2-megapixel Super HAD CCD imager, 3x optical zoom lens and 3.0-inch LCD, it's small enough to slip in a shirt pocket. Sony has added two new features to ensure users obtain sharp pictures with this tiny camera: Super SteadyShot image stabilisation and a new High Sensitivity Mode that selects ISO 1000 to reduce camera shake. Both are a step up from the Steady Shot mode on the earlier T9 model.
A competent model, the T30 offers reasonable image quality but suffers because of some noise issues.
