This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as ...

Advantages: 2.5" LCD screen, 5FPS Disadvantages: only 8 megapixels
Another typical camera by Canon. The 30D comes as an upgrade from the very successful 20D. Owning this DSLR I can only say that you can feel the quality. As well as being ergonomic the button layout is perfect. On other moddles some buttons are to small the press especially with gloves on. Picture quality is excellent colours are replicated well from natural skin tones to the vivid colours of the camera. A chose this camera as my first DSLR as it ... ...shooting at this speed requires a high shutter speed. Well you were right to get 5fps you will have to be shooting at 1/4000 sec although 4fps is a more realistic speed for average shooting. This still seems fast enough and produces sharp images especially when using AI and Servo modes with moving subjects. Overall this is an excellent camera and is very user freindly due to design and the large 2.5" lcd screen. If you are considering buying this ...

Advantages: It's big and brazen, It's sturdy. It's Canon Disadvantages: It's 3.1 Megapixels. Uses lots of battery, Not so hot when icreasing ISO
Bought this camera a few years ago. First ever Digital SLR. Only 3.5 mega pixels but my goodness what a camera.
Since I started an Open University Course on creating better images I have really become a bit of an anorak in how the camera works. It has great appeal (looks wise) it looks even more impressive with the extra battery grip I got. Pictures above ISO 100 reduce the quality drastically when seen at A4, iI found. especially if in poor light.
... ...superb.
Need lots of batteries though. I have a 2 battery pack as well as a number fo back ups. I have gone from a passing interest to amateur to what I would now call a very enthusiastic amateur. Been published once in a news story for a local paper, would love to now build on this and this is camera is a much cheaper way to do it. ...

Advantages: no more film processing, very low running costs, ease of use, instant check of image on lcd screen Disadvantages: Needs Canon flash as no independant brand compatible, No spot meter,needs battery grip, for better handleing
I've only had my D30 for a month, despite buying it 2nd hand i cant fault it yet, images are sharp and well exposed once you get the hang of the histograp function and exposure compensation. it might only be 3.1 mega pixels but if your using quality optics it wont mater end of the day this has a better resolution than the Nikon D1 pro camera .
If you have small hands then you can handle this camera with ease, if not then like me you will need to ... ...which as well as giving you more camera to grip and the added battery capacity it also makes the camera look more profesional.
For printing I would keep the enlargements to 8"x10" which for most people is more than adequate althought i understand its capable of producing 11"x14" prints.
All in all a camera very well suited to a beginger to digital photography, if you already use Eos camera then you will be able to use this as soon as you load a ...

Advantages: Great quality for the price and user friendly buttons Disadvantages: 8 megapixels (if you value that)
I've been a traditional film photographer for years and the EOS 30D was the first digital slr we purchased a few months ago. My husband and I are so happy with this camera and love that we can take it on vacation for candids, then turn around and utilize it more professionally for portraits. There is such a range of creative options that allows this camera to be very functional for a variety of situations from backyard bbq's to more professional ... ...with this buy and definitely recommend this for people who desire a camera that can be functional in casual situations and for families as well as professionally....
The one down side for many is the 8 megapixels but I haven't had any problems with clarity for prints I have printed because the largest I print is 16x20 and they turn out beautiful! ...

Advantages: all the gadgets of an eos with digital images Disadvantages: i would suggest to buy another battery
This camera comes with the quality you would expect from a canon, the ease of use too and will produce perfect pictures on photographic paper up to and beyond a4 i have used this camera under studio conditions and the results are almost perfect. i suggest that this camera, as it is now at a lower than original price, is well worth buying. if you want to take an excelent picture up to a4 this is the camera for you. bearing in mind that most printers ...
