I want to buy a slim camera. And my choices are

1. Canon Power Shot A710 IS
2. Sony Cyber Shot T30
3. Sony Cyber shot T50


T-30 and T-50 are slim cameras than Canon A710 IS.

But T-50 has lot of problems shooting in low light.

Like,
1. White Bubble Problem.
2. Red Eye Problem.

I want to know are these problems also present in Sony T-30 or not?

Hello,

It is hard to recommend a particular camera based on the info you give us in your question. But I can give you some ideas that might help you to find the right camera.
Red eye problem always exists when you use flashlight. No matter which camera you use. Most of cameras have the red eye reduction function. But it only reduces the effect. To eliminate red eyes you need to use picture editing software.
Keep in mind that the smaller is the camera, the smaller is the lens (and often image sensor too). And the smaller is the lens the less light power it has. Therefore the capabilities to use it in low light or other difficult conditions will be very limited.
Sony cameras use their own Sony memory cards. SD is one of the most common flash memory card that most cameras and many other devices (like PDAs for example). So if you go for Sony then in the future you can not use the existing Sony cards if you buy a different brand camera.

Hi Ardi,

Thanks for your reply!

I don’t know much about Digital Camera, I was reading the review on internet, when I decided to buy it. From the review I got to know that Sony T-50 has problem like Red Eye and white spot.

As you told me that slim camera will always have red eye problem, but what about white spot problem does T-30 has this problem?

Actually I like Sony T-30, T-50 for its compactness, but Sony T-50 has Touch Screen, and I am bit confuse to buy a touch screen camera and from reviews Sony T-50 has lot of problems.

So my choices are narrowed down to Sony T-30 and Canon A710 IS.
That’s why I want to confirm that whether T-30 has such problems or not.

From reviews I got to know that most of the people would prefer the Canon over Sony.
Can you tell me why it is so? Though Sony has Carl Zeiss lenses, which is the most popular lens in the market.

T30 sometimes has white spots problems, so do a few other digitals.
It is a problem not specific to any cameras, see the following for example :

http://www.fujifilm.ca/Upload/Faq/White%20Spots_33720293.pdf
http://www.fratkin.com/d320l/spots.html

As someone has pointed out before, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't and when it happens, it is always associated with the use of flash in a dusty environment.

Being so, white spots should not be a good reason for not buying T30, if you like it.

Some people prefer Canon, probably because it is an established camera company and Canon cameras have been selling well, even until today. This gives a feeling of confidence in the product and A710is is a good choice, if you still have doubts about T30.
