I have had several of the P series cameras. They're built a bit cheesey and are missing some features such as the ability to take a winder. They do a fantastic job for the money however and I have sold several to buyers who are very pleased. Very comfortable to hold as they have a rubber grip. Good viewfinder.
Here's the rundown: P3 or P30 has manual and program exposure modes. P3n, P30n, P30t adds aperture preferred auto. P30t also has diagonal rather than horizontal split prism AND is a rather homely 2 tone grey rather than all black like the others. Don > -----Original Message----- > From: J. C.
