If you check the Sony H1 forum (in Steve's), there are alot of people who
also have the same 1/30 sec problem. I am very surprised becasue the H1
seems to have a much bigger lens. The most confussing thing is that this
only in the Sony forum. When I check the other forums for other brands,
People don't seem to have this show shutter speed problem.

Most of the reviews there seem to be very positive. So we are back to
either the settings you are using, or the camera being faulty. It's up to
you what you decide to do to work out which ) but given the
limitations on user input with that model and the history of some faulty
specimens, I'd be inclined to think that you got one of the 'bad batch'.

If you decide to try a different model, I can report that I've been very
pleased with my Samsung Digimax V700 (which may offer too many manual
modes for comfort, if you want a purely point and shoot operation,
although the auto or programmed modes seem to handle most things pretty
well). I also get some good results with my Minolta Dimage X20, although
that is only 2MP and lacks an optical viewfinder - but that range of models
includes some with a higher specification, and is very much point and
shoot in spirit.
