I´m trying to decide between the N2 and T30.

Which one is better? Also, I really need to know if the N2 has image stabilizator (some say yes and some say no). I would really appreciate if someone in this board can help me finalize on one of the cams.

Hi Larissa,
The Sony N2 does not have image stabilization according to their website. I agree with you, I keep seeing info everywhere that says that it does (including our review page for it here) but I would say that Sony's info is correct.

Regarding the N2 vs. the T30, I would go with the N2 just because it's the more advanced of the two. Sony is producing digital cameras at a rapid rate, but the N2 is an update on the N1 and the N1 was a fantastic camera. The N2 is getting fantastic feedback so far.

Hi Brenda,
Thanks you very much for answering my question but I´m sad to know the N2 lacks of image stabilization, which is a great feature to have.
Also, I´ll appreciate if you can tell me your opinion on Nikon S7c. Do you recommend the N2 over the S7c?

You're right, I don't quite get why the N2 doesn't have stabilization. Of course it's not absolutely needed, but that is such a great camera, it would have been a nice addition.

The S7C is also a great camera. It has wireless capability, which can be great if you need it- but if you don't need it, keep in mind that it may be contributing to the cost of the camera, so you may want to decide whether it's worth it to you.

The S7C does produce really, really vibrant, nice colors- I have been very impressed with what I've seen. Both close-up portraits and landscape shots look excellent. Plus, it has its own form of image stabilization- an electronic 'vibration reduction' which may not work as effectively as true optical stabilization but can still impact the steadiness of an image. Big plus if you need it.

I would almost consider it a toss-up between the N2 and the S7C... if you need the stabilization the S7C may be the way to go. Myself, I'm partial to the N2 because I lean towards Canon's designs when it comes to point and shoot digitals, but that's personal preference. You will most likely be thrilled with either camera.
