Canon EOS 30D
canon EOS 30D 8.2MP digital SLR camera 
The canon EOS 30D replaces the award-winning EOS 20D. It brings proven EOS technology to a new level, giving photographers an unbeatable photographic experience. The EOS 30D incorporates a host of new features with canon’s highly acclaimed 8.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC II Image Processor.
The EOS 30D has a brilliant 2.5-inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels. Adopted from canon’s professional EOS SLRs, this monitor
not only displays more information, it can also be viewed at a greater angle (170 degrees) than many conventional LCD monitors. The full-featured shot information screen not only provides an RGB histogram, it can display the AF frame used.
Magnification has never been faster. Magnification zooms to the focus point rather than the center of the image to check exposure and critical focus. It is also simple to jump quickly in image intervals up to 100. Menus are accessed at the touch of a button and feature larger text that is easier to read. Whether changing color parameters, setting up custom functions, organizing folders or setting white balance, the EOS 30D helps photographers get to their information quickly, so they never miss a shot.
The EOS 30D is one of the fastest cameras canon has ever produced. Incorporating the fast operation of the EOS 20D, the 30D allows users to specify high-speed 5 frames per second (fps) or a new low-speed 3 fps continuous shooting for more controlled shooting and/or to save space on the CF card.
And it can capture up to 30 JPEG and 11 RAW (or 9 RAW + JPEG) files in one burst. Whether it’s the 0.15-second startup time, the high-speed mirror drive, the nearly instant 65-millisecond shutter release lag time or the predictive AF focusing at speeds up to 5.0 frames per second, the EOS 30D will amaze and delight photographers who don’t want to wait for their camera when they’re ready to shoot.

Customer Review: Love this camera
I’ve read all the other reviews and I don’t have much to add that hasn’t been said before. I just wanted to join in the chorus of positive reviews and say that I love this camera. I originally bought the digital Rebel XT and found that I wasn’t happy with that camera for a few reasons which I will detail below. I upgraded to this camera and have to say that it was a great move. This camera is worth every penny and is definitely a great upgrade over the XT for the following reasons:
- Much better manual shooting. Manual shooting with the XT is an exercise in compromise and frustration. With the dual wheels, this camera enables you to shoot in manual much more easily.
- Much larger and more detailed LCD dispaly allows at-a-glance look at settings
- Body is bigger than the XT and fits in my hands much more comfortably (I have large-ish hands)
- No need to push the “Set” button when making changes to camera settings like ISO, WB, etc. This doesn’t seem like a big deal when you read it, but when you actually use the camera and change settings quite a bit to match your desires, the quicker you can make the changes, the better chance you have of getting the shot.
All in all, this camera is an absolute gem. I highly recommend it.
