Cameras.co.uk - 07 March’08 - reviews the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S730 and thinks it’s a lower price camera that does little wrong. Here is a summary of their review -
“If low price and ease of use are your criteria then the S730 might be right up your alley. While it’s not a spectacular digital camera it does do what it’s supposed to do, capture great looking images and it’s a no-brainer to operate. If you compare the S730 to other cameras in it field the reviewer noted it was slightly better than the pack. Images looked good with a solid tonal range.”

Press Summary
Light, compact and easy to use, the new Cyber-shot S730 presents a great-value entry point to the world of digital photography.
While it’s remarkably affordable, the Cyber-shot S730 doesn’t compromise on imaging quality. There’s a Sony 3x optical zoom lens to bring distant objects closer, while pictures captured with the 7.2 effective megapixel sensor look crisp with superb detail – even when blown up to A3 size.
The Cyber-shot S730 lets you grab clear, blur-free pictures without the aid of flash if you’re shooting in low light or on cloudy days. Selecting ‘High Sensitivity’ mode on the easy-to-adjust mode dial boosts sensitivity to ISO 1250. This allows shooting at faster shutter speeds to reduce the risk of camera shake, even with moving subjects.
A new multi-point autofocus mode ensures pin-sharp images, even when your subject is moving or isn’t in the centre of the frame.
Pictures and camera settings can be viewed clearly on the large 2.4-inch screen. Touching a button switches instantly to Playback mode, making it quick and easy to check pictures during shooting. There’s also an on-screen Histogram mode that displays image brightness in graphical form – useful if you’re fine-tuning exposure settings for the best possible results.
Even if you’re new to digital photography, the Cyber-shot S730 guides you with a handy display of functions like flash, macro and self-timer settings. There’s also on-screen advice to help you select the right settings for your chosen subject as selected with the Shooting Mode dial.
The Cyber-shot S730 can even help beginners pick the optimum image size for shooting, depending on your preferred printing paper size and the amount of memory space remaining.
The Cyber-shot S730 will be available from January 2008.
