Don't buy this until you have checked out Sony's T30!

I was looking for the best performing ultra compact digital camera when I stumpled on this model-Sony T33.

BUT I didn't buy this product! The T33 is excellent in all ways for an ultra compact camera user. The main draw of Sony's T series is the image stabalsizing (IM)ability. Initially as a newbie to cameras, hadn't realise that IM function is so important in photo-taking, but after using a camera with IM and without IM, I can feel that an IM is truly an amazing component in photo-taking especially for taking photos at night and when travelling on a bus.

I know I won't have the quality of many of the pictures from shots taken in the train, shooting the scenery of the Tuscany if it wasn't for the IM ability.

The photo-album ability is also a great draw for me because I HATE using gadgets but this camera makes me want to take more pictures and so in this facility that enables me to show them off IMMEDIATELY to my friends. It also comes with slide show capabilty and background music (you can change the music it if you wish) Obviously every and anyone was impressed.

However I am a very visual person, and therefore having a big screen-size like the later model T30 made me fall in love with the actual camera I bought-T30 . This camera also has a mega magnifying effect that is needed for any enlargment of ebay listings you have.
