Canon PowerShot D30

In a lot of ways, the Canon PowerShot D30 is a disappointment.

After extensive research, I selected the Canon Powershot D30 waterproof camera as the best choice for a SCUBA diving trip in March 2016. I used it on two dives in Belize and one in Cozumel, and it worked very well. The dives had a max depth of about 60 feet, well above the camera’s stated 82 foot li...

I purchased this camera a little over two years ago. When I first received it, I took it on our family vacation. I used it to take pictures underwater in a pool and it worked great. I basically used this camera three times - once a year vacation. I just came back from vacation when I was snorkeling ...

This is the first Canon Camera I've bought (after a few others) that actually let me down in terms of image quality. I was hoping it would be a good point-and-shoot for above water use as well, but I'm very disappointed with the photos. Maybe because of its waterproof nature and having to have a gla...

Received the camera today and took three outdoor pics in auto mode. Took the same three pics with my older Nikon P330 and there is no comparison for a camera that cost about the same (actually now P330 is less): Nikon much better IQ. Canon pictures are soft and colors are not as real. Low light the ...

I am bummed to say it doesn't seem to take as good of photos as the last model we had. : ( The smaller size is nice, but it takes longer to switch between the different settings (so you miss good pictures) and I still haven't found a kids' / action setting which I had used quite a bit on my last Can...

good forhiking and out in the rain or at the beach where water or sand is an issue. if it had RAW format, it would be a great camera. the GPS is a battery hog if you leave it on, otherwise takes a while to get a fix and then the picture is usually gone. Fulfills a purpose, but not a good camera for ...

This is a solid performer. It's real strengths are not so much on land but underwater. Shore performance is acceptable, but there are much better options if you are looking for a land only point and shoot. I used it over three months as my dive camera. It fits nicely in the pocket of a BCD. The qual...

The D30 was a great little camera for about a year, until water intrusion caused failure. I'd had it in the water numerous times, never to much depth, and it always worked as expected. After 13 months, though, it failed on a recent trip to the beach. The first indication that something was wrong was...

I had to return this as soon as I received it. Everything about it appeared really great as most people had reviewed it. But when I tried to take sample shots, I noticed that the view of everything in the view finder was very dark. (I tested it first inside my house which during the day is still fai...
