Which one should you choose?

Choose Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W30 if you want the older 6 MP CCD character and do not mind a Memory Stick Duo kit.

Choose Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 if a 26–130mm-equivalent 5x zoom, 116 g body, and SD/SDHC option matter more than keeping the early look.

The W30 is the deliberate vintage choice; the W570 is the more flexible travel compact with a wider lens and much higher resolution.
