Pros: This camera has a good solid feel to it, and seems to take good pictures for such a small camera. The video quality is quite good and the menus and general use of the camera are straightforward enough you probably wont need to read the manual if you have ever used a sony digicam before. Also, it looks good.

Cons: The auto mode doesn't always adapt to the setting appropriately. For instance, the white balance doesn't ever change automatically when I go between different lighting sources. As a result, I spend most of my time in Program mode, and changing the white balance preset depending on the conditions. Also, the camera is not as thin as some of the other sony T-series cameras. Like the other T-series cameras, the T30 has a well constructed metal body, yet a cheap flimsy feeling plastic battery/memcard door. I do not understand why sony would do this on a 'top of the line' camera. My previous primary digital camera was a DSC-F707, and by comparison, the overall image quality is definitely lacking on the T30. After messing with the settings a lot, I have been unable to take near as clean an image as I could with my F707, but I suppose that is to be expected with such a small camera as the T30. I feel that some of this may be due to the method of jpeg compression the camera performs.

Overall Review: Overall, I feel the T30 was a good purchase. It fits easily into my pocket, and it takes decent overall pictures, despite the normal issues with noise at all reasonable ISO levels (like nearly all cameras in this class). I have not taken any significantly blurry pictures as of yet, so it would seem this supersteadyshot marketing mumbo-jumbo may have a little truth to it.

Pros: No dead pixels on mine, aluminum construction looks elegant, IPS panel gives consistent color representation from all viewing angles, no backlight bleed, good uniformity.

Cons: The box is very poor quality, and was literally falling apart when I received it. Also, it was the RETAIL box, so everyone along the line knows exactly what is inside. The monitor came with a South Korean power cable, so I had to dig up my own. Did not work on my XFX Nvidia 7900GT at full resolution, despite the video card claiming 2560x1600 capability, and the monitor documentation indicating 7600 and above would work fine. I had to upgrade to a 9600GT to run at 2560x1600. The only controls on this monitor are power and a backlight ('brightness') controls. The buttons do not work well, I often have to push or tap them repeatedly to get them to work, with limited success. No color controls made it impossible to calibrate perfectly. The monitor has no VESA holes, and the stand it comes on was not mounted perfectly. The panel is about 0.4 degrees off alignment, which translates to about a 5mm difference in height between the left and right sides of the monitor.

Overall Review: This is a situation of "you get what you pay for. There is only one kind of input - a DVI port, and it may or may not even be HDCP compliant (Newegg says it isn't, BD Advisor says it is, but I don't have blu-ray to try it out). This could be a pro or a con, but the labels (DoubleSight Displays and DS-305W) are just little pieces of metal stuck on with some cheap adhesive. Some of the letters on mine were already coming off when I got the monitor, but I pushed them back on. I can see this being a pro if you want to take them off for a much cleaner look. With the original box basically being destroyed in shipping, you are left without a suitable box to return it if something is wrong. This has me nervous. I saved the styrofoam structure so if worst comes to worse, I can improvise a box around them. It can't be any worse than the one it came in.

Pros: The drive worked flawlessly for 6 months.

Cons: Yesterday I switched my laptop on and it wouldn't boot into Windows. I managed to get to a command prompt in safe mode and ran chkdsk to find out that a MASSIVE number (thousand upon thousands) of my files were suddenly corrupted and sitting on bad sectors. Chkdsk was unable to correct all the problems and I now have a drive that is unusable.

Overall Review: That this drive failed so catastrophically, in such a short amount of time, is a major bummer. I specifically spent the extra money on an SSD believing it to be less prone to failure (performance was not a major consideration for me). I'm currently waiting on Crucial's support people to get back to me, I'm hoping they'll give me an advance RMA since I'm in the middle of finals and I'm suddenly without a laptop.

Pros: Nice picture quality The price was right

Cons: The main reason I am coming back to review this again is this annoying screeching sound when the monitor makes in standby mode. I'm not sure if the monitor developed this over time, or if I just never noticed it in the first 6 months I owned the monitor. The sound is one of those high pitched noises, sorta like a CRT TV makes whenever it's running - the kind of noise older folks usually can't hear, but people with young ears are driven insane by. It's an intermittent sound, coming with a very regular pattern - on for 1.5 seconds, off for maybe 5-6 seconds, then back on again for 1.5 seconds, etc. It drives me crazy - I can't stand to be in the same room when it's doing it. I usually just turn the monitor off entirely rather than let the power management turn it off automatically. I can't tell if it's coming from the power brick or the unit itself, mainly because those types of high-pitched sounds are very hard to localize.

Overall Review: I was the poster of the first review on this site for this monitor (review titled "Mixed bag"). I wanted to post this as an addendum to that post, but couldn't see a way to do so. I hope that the manufacturer has found a way to correct what is clearly a manufacturing defect, or a design flaw.

Pros: Very well built, smooth motion. The mounting hardware is very high quality, I had no problems installing this for two monitors. Also, good packaging.

Cons: Costly, I guess. Also Newegg only carries the silver version, and I wanted the dark grey version.

Overall Review: I bought mine from another store because I wanted the grey color instead of silver. I am using it for the two side monitors in my 3 monitor setup (30" in center, and a portrait mounted 20.1" on each side). So far it's been great, and I've been able to get the exact setup I wanted. It even gives me the freedom to flip the side monitors out of portrait mode into landscape mode, then aim one at the kitchen area of my apartment while I'm cooking or doing dishes etc (for movies/tv shows). The only hassle with this is in the software (i.e. telling my computer to make the image landscape instead of portrait. I wish I could set a hotkey for this somehow...).
