Sharp VE-CG30U 3.3MP with a resolution of up to 2,160 by 1,440 pixels. You can change the setting to lower resolutions to save memory space on the included 16 MB SD memory card. The lens has a 3x optical and 3x digital zoom to enhance versatility and give you the necessary range of shooting options.
Easily navigate through menus and preview your shots with the large 1.5-inch CGS high-resolution LCD screen. CG silicon (CGS) is a high-quality enhancement of traditional LCDs that consumes less power with more functionality, versatility, and durability. Frame guides can be superimposed on the display to help you compose the perfect shot.
You can set the camera to different shooting modes such as auto, aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual for ease of use and more creative control of your shots. There are also controls for white balance, digital effects, and a 10-second self-timer. Connect the USB port and just press the one-touch image-transfer button to upload all of your pictures to your PC, or use the video-out jack to view pictures on a TV. Also included are a wrist strap, AC adapter, four AA batteries, and lens cap.
With the Sharp VE-CG30U, style is just the beginning. That’s because in addition to an eye-catching body and a 1.8″ CG Silicon screen for high-resolution viewing, it has plenty of other great features. It has 3.0 million pixels for clear sharp pictures and enlargements, and a quick shot feature for a fixed focus mode for image capture without time delay. Images are sharp and bright because of its high resolution and optics. The VE-C30U produces quality images with a straightforward operation and is an ideal tool for travel and business applications.
Helpful consumer’s review
I purchased this camera over the holidays after extensive research on 3 megapixel cameras. I was hesitant to buy it because of it’s ‘newness’ and lack of reviews, but I purchased it from a place I could easily return it if I was not impressed. I must say, this camera totally blew away all of my expectations! I have had a number of digital cameras over the past few years, but this one is by far the best. I put it up against a friend’s Olympus D-550, which got Great reviews in all the PC magazines, and the Sharp far surpassed it (so much so, my friend is contemplating selling his camera and getting this one). It takes great inside and outside pictures, with or without a flash, and where I have had problems in the past taking pictures of people, this one does an unbelievable job. I would HIGHLY recommend this camera to anyone. It even has a TON of features for the ‘high end’ serious photographer…
