Product Description
Canon EOS 30D 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 includes enhanced operational features such as a new 2.5 inch LCD monitor, true spot metering, a durable new shutter mechanism and Canon's Picture Style feature, all in a sturdy, magnesium-clad body. With all these new features the EOS 30D is truly perfection, refined. The EOS 30D has a high-precision, 9-point wide area AF system that uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually-selected using the 30D's intuitive, thumb-operated multi-controller. EOS 30D adds a spot metering function that meters roughly 3.5% of the center of the image. This new metering function, in addition to Canon's impressive evaluative, center-weighted average and partial metering modes, gives the photographer even more choices for custom-tailored shooting. UsesOne Lithium-Ion Battery Pack BP-511A Size WHD 5.7 x 4.2 x 2.9 in./144 x 105.5 x 73.5mm; 24.7 oz.

I'm extremely happy with my camera!
You can't beat this camera for the money.
Perfect Balance August 8, 2008
TomVette (N. Texas)
I've shot photos for almost 45 years. . . . started very early. The bottom line is the Canon 30D has excellent build quality, superb low light performance, excellent features and most of all superb picture quality in both ideal and non ideal lighting.
I shot a lot of low light pictures and compared the Nikon 80, the Canon 30D and 40D and to my eyes, the Canon 30D simply rendered the sharpest, most noise free images in lower light levels.
I owned 3 Canon EF lens. The 50mm f1.4, the 70-300mm IS lens and the Canon 28-135MM IS lens. All of these lens deliver excellent pictures in low light, provide sharp images and focus quickly and accurately. I tend to be a strong believer in Nikon and Canon because of the bench strength of their great lens.
The only downside of the 30D is it lacks live view. In my opinion this is of limited if any value. To some, this feature might be important, but be aware that live view depletes the camera's battery pretty quickly.
Even thought this camera is discontinued, it is well worth seeking out.
Good bang for buck August 3, 2008
HWJ3 (New Jersey)
This is great bang for your buck. When I bought my first dslr, the XT, new, it cost the same as the 30D does now. I'm very happy with the improved controls of the 30D over the XT as well as better high iso performance and 5 fps... My future plans are to get a 5d for holding a wideangle lens and use the 30D for the 70-200. The 24-105 range makes sense on either but the nature of the lens will be more telephoto on the 30D...
Excellent Camera July 24, 2008

This was my second dslr and I loved it when I owned it. I have a 5D and a 40D now.

Puts any rebel to shame July 8, 2008

People can show off their Rebel tsi and say it has 12 megapixels, but you can show off your 30d and say, "mine's not cheap plastic." This camera is perfect for a semi-pro, student, or just about anyone who can afford it. I warn you not to buy it from DBROTH though. They scammed me out of 99.99 dollars worth of photoshop, and I'm still trying to settle it with them. The hi-speed shooting is great for my hobby of shooting skate pictures. I think my customer image is number 82 or something. If you want to use it for landscapes, you'll need to get something with a really wide angle, because of the 1.6 cropping factor. If you're into sports photography like me though, it just gives your telephoto zoom lens a little more reach.
