Samsung ST30 uses Samsung BP70A rechargeable Li-ion battery. When buying used, confirm the seller includes a working charger or plan to add one. See the battery guide for charger and spare-battery checks.
What memory card does the Samsung ST30 take?
Samsung ST30 uses SD / SDHC / SDXC. The current buyer-facing maximum is Up to 2TB (SDXC); for older or unusual formats, stay within that limit and avoid oversized cards. See the memory card guide before buying cards for older cameras.
Is the Samsung ST30 worth buying used?
It can be worth buying if you want a 10 MP Samsung digital camera from 2011 with 1/3-inch (4.8 x 3.6 mm) CCD. Check power, lens movement, screen condition, and storage access before paying. Run the used digital camera checklist before buying. For nearby Samsung options, compare Samsung ST200F and Samsung ST45.
How do you transfer photos from the Samsung ST30?
The simplest transfer path is usually to remove the memory card and use a compatible card reader. If the camera uses internal storage or a rare card format, confirm the cable or reader before buying. The card reader guide and photo transfer guide cover the common options.
Samsung ST30 is worth judging as its own Samsung pocket compact body, not just as a generic old compact. Start with condition, the exact battery/card setup, and whether its look fits what you want to shoot.
What owners like
Samsung ST30 works best when you want small-bag snapshots, flash photos, mirror selfies, and a clean pocket-camera look rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/3-inch (4.8 x 3.6 mm) CCD and built-in compact zoom lens are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Samsung ST65, Samsung ST6500, Samsung ST60, Casio Exilim EX-H30 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
