Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 camera reviews

Virtues

  • Small size, good video quality

disadvantages

  • Unsuccessful design decisions, extraneous sounds when recording video, notable noise in the photo in low light

Comment
Greetings to all the guys reading this review. Since I am fishing tightly, some time ago there was a question about purchasing a protective chamber - after all, when fishing, hands are often dirty, wet, and conditions are not always suitable for using a regular camera.
Tracked that you can generally buy from these devices, eventually settled on this model.
When you first look at the camera, its rather small size, stylish look catches your eye.
The lens is not retractable, which gives some protection.
By cons. Shutter in my opinion - an extra detail. Very poorly made battery compartment. You will see for yourself when you start to charge the TX30, or to perform any manipulations with the memory card. The battery itself is removed, but you will still be charged in digicam ...
The menu did not like, in my opinion too overloaded.
Well ... And what about its main functions?
A photo. With good illumination - less decent photos, in bad conditions, the photos are obtained with noticeable noises. Like the twilight mode with hands.
Video. Here the device has pleased with a good quality of shooting.
However, you yourself can see this by watching my test videos. I shot them in cloudy weather, in clear it will be even clearer ...
AVCHD:

MP4:

MP4 Night Shot:

But not without a fly in the ointment.When shooting a video, you can clearly hear some crackling, buzzing.

Virtues

  • Compact
  • Fast start
  • Water is not terrible
  • Intelligent shooting modes

  • Not quite a convenient way to charge

Comment
Now it's not scary to send the mother-in-law on vacation, she will bathe and take a photo / video right in the water :)
The last vacation shot on a photo of a mobile phone, quickly and conveniently The mirror with all lenses was postponed after the first day (the heat and tired of carrying it).
Chose between similar models that are resistant to water and more or less in appearance. I think that the purchase is worth it.

Who does not like the quality of the photo in the dark and noisy pictures - take a mirror or something more expensive. For that kind of money, you can hardly find everything at once.

Virtues

  • Compact, lightweight, very fast to boot when turned on and focusing speed, not afraid of water and dust, already pasted protective factory film on the screen, ultra high resolution screen, excellent video recording in FullHD format, awesome optical image stabilizer, sensor does not tupit as in TX20 . Plus, the sensor can be turned off, so as not to accidentally press the buttons.

disadvantages

  • When recording video, a distinct sound of the camera itself is recorded in the form of a buzz, as well as the sound of a zoom motor. And if about the zoom there is a warning in the instructions that this sound can be and this is not a malfunction (I rarely use the zoom with video), then about the buzzing of the camera itself - it’s not clear - is this the norm for soap boxes when recording video or not ?!

Comment
I bought as an addition to the Canon 60D SLR. To take with you on a camping trip, on a business trip, etc. where compactness is more important than the quality of the pictures, as well as on vacation, take pictures under water. Although for soap trays the quality of the pictures is above all praise with sufficient light. Well, the video is generally super! Except for the recorded buzz of the camera. If someone has the same problems write!

Virtues

  • -Miniature and fits easily in your pocket
  • -Waterproof- up to 5 meters
  • -Excellent design
  • - The screen is large and touch
  • -Has a focus function by clicking on the screen (a very useful thing).
  • -Excellent color rendering, 18 megapixels and optics from Karl
  • -Many modes for shooting
  • -10 frames per second is really cool)))
  • -Video also shoots well, but it’s better to buy a card with good speed and more fun for this purpose.
  • Like all said.

disadvantages

  • I think that this camera has no flaws, well, if only the price, and so it is just perfect.

Comment
I use 2 months satisfied with the purchase. If something needs to be removed, I quickly took a switch for 1-2 seconds from my pocket and already take a picture. I can provide pictures taken by me, if necessary, so write)

Virtues

  • 1. Lightweight, compact.
  • 2. Turns on quickly, just open the lid (but you can also use the ON button).
  • 3. There is a standalone button for video, so you do not need to switch to video mode.
  • 4. High-quality video + the ability in the video mode to take 10 shots, which are often even better, than if you just take a photo (but without a flash). The sound of the video is high, but do not cover the speakers with your finger on the left side when holding the camera!
  • 5. Convenient touch screen, not as sensitive as on smartphones, but it protects from accidental touches.
  • 6. Screen lock function, in which it is convenient to work, if you do not need to change the settings.
  • 7. Underwater photography, tested in Thailand up to 3 meters, for a non-professional camera, the quality is quite good: movable objects are removed with difficulty, it is necessary to contrive, and immovable objects are very good.
  • 8. Many functions: a simple photoshop, many shooting modes, panoramic shooting (including 360 degrees, but actually less - 340 somewhere), however, such things are in most modern cameras.
  • 9. Good continuous shooting with two speeds: high and low speed. However, in this mode, the flash does not work.

disadvantages

  • 1. Weak battery.On the advice of the previous review, I bought 2 more Sony NP-BN1 batteries and portable charging for them (since there is no camera included), I did not regret it. One battery with a constant inclusion and operation lasts for 2-3 hours.
  • 2. If you correctly select the mode of photography and the scene, you can get very high-quality photos, but in the mode of intelligent auto mode does not work very much, only if the lighting is normal. In sunny weather, near water or at dusk, you need to select modes. And before that, I had a Canon (of the same class), there was not so much difference between modes and cars. By the way, good photos are obtained in motion, checked when riding a bike, and not necessarily put in mode Vys-skor. gate.
  • 3. Unregulated strap on the hand, it can not be tightly fastened on the arm, it is inconvenient when underwater shooting.
  • 4. In the mini-photoshop does not recognize faces, so many photos can not be retouched in it.
  • 5. When underwater shooting in salt water under the cover remains salt. When the water dries out, because of the salt, the lid opens a little with effort, and the salt scratches the body! But if you rinse under the tap (I rinsed under a weak stream) or as written in the instructions: put into the water for a few minutes - then everything will return to normal.
  • 6. There are only 2 photo sizes: 4: 3 and 16: 9. In addition, when you transfer photos to a computer, not all photo viewers can flip horizontal photos into vertical ones. For example, Windows live photo gallery cannot. Perhaps you will not have such difficulties, but, for example, when I turned the photo in the Microsoft office picture, the photo did not want to correspond under the same name, I had to record it under a different one, and delete the former one.

Comment
I bought half a year ago for 8450 rubles in a dubious online store, it is quite possible that it is gray. But I got caught without marriage, it works fine. Buy a memory card with 32 GB or 64 GB for it, so as not to be trivial with the quality of pictures and videos, as well as shoot a lot and everything, then select the successful frames!
Just in case, I pasted a protective film (from an iPhone), after swimming in the sea nothing happened to it.
Of course, sometimes you want to have a larger optical zoom (a total of x5), but with such a weight + underwater shooting I roll my lip back so as not to stumble. Sony has cameras of the same class at about the same price as the x30, so for whom this function is important, consider other options.
In total, about 12.5 thousand came out with a memory card, two batteries, charging, a case and a film.

Virtues

  • Everything works right out of the box, user-friendly intuitive interface, cool effects.

disadvantages

  • No updates, memory card error C: 13: 01 has been known since 2009 and you will not find anything on it on the official website.

Comment
In general, a good camera to carry it in your pocket and take pictures of work, the battery holds for a long time .... But at one terrible moment I took out the memory card and inserted it into the card reader, read it, returned it and forgot about it. .. On the next launch, the camera said that the card should be pulled from those syudas and it does not work! I inserted a couple of cards from other devices, everywhere the same effect!
Then I climbed into the Internet and read a whole bunch of answers there, about the need to clean the contacts on the card ... Well, or to carry the camera for repair, because the microcrack and propayka helped someone there many times ... In general, I almost carried the camera in for repair, but it turned out that the check was lost)) Sony’s website was useful in searching for a global guarantee without a check (by serial number) and at the same time read there many useful answers, but which are clearly written for fools Like, check if your camera is on or not ....
In the end, I accidentally stumbled upon an error request C: 13: 01 after the card reader and then I realized that I inserted the card into the card reader before this episode! Moreover, what a heresy to think that in an anti-shock chamber, which they had never dropped, some contacts under the map, which they took out only once, were cracked ....
Okay, telling how to treat! Insert your card into the computer and do low-level formatting, which removes everything from the card! Then you insert the card into the camera and try to format it .... I didn’t have that and I inserted the card into another camera, Nikon or Kenon, I don’t even remember the main thing that he suggested formatting the card and I agreed.
After that, I put the card in my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 and formatted it a second time! After that, everything works and I no longer try to remove it from there!
I hope you read this information before taking the camera for repair!
