Canon's first prosumer S-series compact — 3.2MP CCD, 3x 35-105mm f/2.8-4.9, RAW and manual modes, CompactFlash.

The PowerShot S30 launched in September 2001 as the camera that turned Canon's S-series from simple point-and-shoots into a prosumer line, introducing a new larger body, manual controls and RAW support. It sat just below the G-series as the de-contented, lower-cost enthusiast option, arriving a month before its higher-resolution twin, the S40.

It used a 3.2-megapixel 1/1.8-inch CCD behind a 3x optical zoom covering 35-105mm equivalent at f/2.8-4.9, with a sliding lens cover fronting the 260g metal-clad body. Alongside full manual exposure and RAW capture it recorded 320x240 video at 15fps, composed on a 1.8-inch LCD or optical finder, and stored images on CompactFlash.

The S30 appeals to early-digital enthusiasts who want RAW files and real exposure control from a 2001 compact, something almost no rival offered at the price. The brighter f/2.8 wide end helps indoors, though the low-resolution video and leisurely operation mark its age.

Check the sliding front cover, which doubles as the power switch, moves cleanly and wakes the camera. A small CompactFlash card and reader are required, and the proprietary rechargeable battery era means confirming a working cell and charger come with it. RAW support makes surviving examples more usable than most compacts this old.
