I dug up some old camera in my drawer. It's a Sony DSC-T30 steadyshot. Anyone know anything about it? Is it good?

According to amazon reviews, it's pretty decent.

Listening to us is good, but you're the one with the camera. Test it and see how you like it dude !

It seems fine to me, but I am not a photographer, some people here (especially the tech channels) know a lot about this stuff and well be able to give me a lot of pros and cons

The only real con is that it doesn't record HD.

Has a decent lens, but its slow as hell, meaning you need a lot of light. It also doesn't do continuous shooting (number of frames per second) very well. No HD video, and you're stuck using older low capacity memory cards.

In that case.....

If this proves good enough, I'll just use it till I save up (code for wait till my birthday) to get the Canon s100 powershot :D

With that kind of money, you're better off with a micro 4/3rds system, which has a much larger sensor. Look into the Panasonic GX1 or the Sony NEX 3n (F3). The GX1 is a micro 4/3rds. The Sony uses the even larger APS-C size sensor (same as entry level DSLRs). Both should be available in the $300-350 range including a kit lens if you wait for a sale.

Well gisikw reccomended that one and called it "relatively cheap"

When you say "that kind of money" it suggests that there are much cheaper effective cameras. Are there any you can think of? I really don't need all those fancy features- a camera that records HD is all I need
