    5.0 out of 5 stars Changing to 5 stars after 3 days of use, May 12, 2012
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V DSCHX30 DSC-HX30/V 18.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Digital Camera with 20x Optical Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD (Black) BUNDLE with Sony 16GB Card, Spare Battery, Card Reader, Case, Mini Tripod, LCD Screen Protectors, Lens Cleaner, Cleaning Cloth (Electronics)
    I am updating my entire review after a 3 days of days with the cameras, including using at a birthday party. I initially gave it a 3 stars, saying it was an update over my DSC-HX9V but not great in terms of noise.
    Now that I have used it for a few days, I must say I am blown away.
    1. Simplicity: The iA+ (intelligent auto plus mode) is just amazing. The decisions it takes regarding ISO and shutter speed are dead on in most cases. I have ceased to experiment with the other modes now.
    2. Versatility: I bought this as my travel camera (upgrade to DSC-HX9V). At home I mostly use my Canon T2i with external flash, lenses etc. which is way superior in photos. However, this camera (DSC-HX30V) has blown me away in terms of its versatility on low light and home situations. So I use it (and expect to continue) use it more at home as well - I prefer to not use the flash and get amazing pictures with it.
    3. ISO/Noise/Processing: UPDATE (May 26 2012) A little noisy. At 100 ISO... Read more

    Received the camera today and pretty happy with it after a day of shooting test stuff. Read the warning below about what you get versus the product description & advertisement.

    Pros
    - Pictures high quality, compared to other similar-sized cameras (I had a Lumix to compare with)
    - Videos look great
    - 3D mode was unexpectedly nice. Good for static subjects only - you pan the camera as you take the picture and the camera processes the parallax changes of the images to create a nice synthetic 'tillable' view. You can preview the 3D effect by tilting the camera and its accelerometers will change your point of view on the synthetic 3D image. I don't have a proper 3D screen to test the depth of it.
    - The GPS has a 'gps logger' function. I've wanted my GPS cameras to do this for YEARS (since I had a GPS-enabled Ricoh for work purposes in 2007). Haven't had the time to see how much battery that eats up.
    - I got the bundle w the extra battery as these... Read more

    1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality bundle - unusable sdhc card, May 25, 2012
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V DSCHX30 DSC-HX30/V 18.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Digital Camera with 20x Optical Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD (Black) BUNDLE with Sony 16GB Card, Spare Battery, Card Reader, Case, Mini Tripod, LCD Screen Protectors, Lens Cleaner, Cleaning Cloth (Electronics)
    The new Sony hx30v just arrived. The Beach description did not specify the speed of the card. The bundle is a waste. The 16gb card is a class 4 not the class 10 described in the user comment which made me select this bundle. The class 4 card is way to slow for this or any modern camera. So you will need to buy a class 10 or better card to get any kind of performance. The carrying case is an oversized generic case that defeats the purpose of a small camera.
    I am going to return this bundle and start over with the camera from directly from Sony not the crappy bundle from Beach. They really should know better than to try to get away with such an inferior bundle. This kind of behavior from a vendor will cause me not to select them in the future.
