The P30t (as I understand it) has a metal chassis and is plastic and rubber covered. It sets film speed via DX coding, there is no manual setting of film speed available. Non DX cartridges code in at ISO 100. The setting of shutter speeds is more traditional than the push buttons of a program plus. There is no exposure compensation available like a Program Plus, but it does have a "memory lock" button. It does not accept a motor or winder. Slow speeds go down to only one second.
It's been a while since I picked up a Program Plus, but my Super Programs (concurrent model with the Program Plus) have a much brighter viewfinder than does the P30t. I think that the P30t is a likable enough camera, but I'm unsure if I would prefer it over a Program Plus. HTH William in Utah. James Adams wrote: > > Help > Just received this offer from D...
