Customer Review: Beautiful Images
Summary: 5 Stars
You cannot go wrong with this camera. With the 40D recently lowering in price and Canon preparing to release another model soon, I would expect to get this camera for a real deal from many retailers (e_tailers) in the near future. Camera functions are amazing and very similar to the 20D and 10D. Of course there are many newer features including the BIG pretty 2.5" LCD. For many, the 30D is sufficient which means you can save money instead of buying the 40D. Spend that hard earned money on optics...where it should go anyway!Customer Review: List Price Wrong
Summary: 5 Stars
This version of Canon's semi-pro or pro-sumer camera is really great. HOWEVER THE LIST PRICE IS COMPLETELY WRONG, the camera was originally priced around $1100 NEW, in 2006-2007. Don't pay anything more than $700 for one NEW, or $400 for USED. I have been in photography since 2004 and camera retail since 2007, trust me on this one.
I use the 20D and have for the last 5 years, same model, same camera, and it rocks. The 30D has a more user friendly firmware and a much, much bigger LCD, which I would like to have.
Customer Review: I love this camera!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this camera! If you are contemplating an upgrade from the Rebel digital series, go for it. My SLR voyage has been long, starting with a Canon T70. I went from that to a Canon Rebel G, then the Digital Rebel, then the 20D, and now the 30D. I don't think I will ever need to buy another digital SLR until I wear this one out. The shutter speed is brilliant. The ability to switch from manual to automatic is freeing---you don't have to worry about any setting. I'm very glad I bought this camera!Customer Review: Brilliant camera
Summary: 5 Stars
My only regret is that I have not had this camera for my whole life. There may be a reason why a professional might need a 5D or what not, but for the rest of us, this camera does it all with ease, elegance and style. With a good lens, is it awesome. I snapped a small baby allegator I could hardly see from 50 feet away, and when I blew the image up on the computer you could see every detail, including his pupil and the glint in his eye. This camera is a lot of fun.Customer Review: Bought late in its product life but still a great DSLR
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this body a little bit after the 40D was released. The 30D is my first DSLR. I did the research and I took other people's advice. I spent more on the lens than a body and haven't regretted that decision yet. I think the 30D is a great body to learn on. Sure it doesn't have the live view that the 40D. I having researched/played with the 40D much to determine if the live view is good enough to show what you will actually have when you trigger the shutter.
