Summary: Camera
Comment: Beautiful camera I still need to read all the books and the instructions
but I really really like it!!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great bargain for a first/back up SLR
Comment: I bought this camera refurbished and have been quite happy with its overall performance. It compares to the 40D, but with less resolution. Does well when looking at the http://www.dxomark.com/ testing when compared to the Canon XXD series. I have shot rough 4000 clicks without a hitch. I find the lack of a sensor cleaner a drawback. LCD could be bigger/better, but I don't use it that much.
I have owned the XTI and much prefer this cameras feel and handling, but have to say the image quality appears roughly equal. More import is a good glass!

Summary: Canon 30D
Comment: A superb camera. Excellent IQ. The only annoying feature for me is the On/Off switch which is on the rear of the camera and is fiddly if you have big hands!
Excellent value.

Summary: Older but excellent, like a good wine
Comment: I've had this camera for a few years, bought mine in Hong Kong before you could get them in the US. It's never let me down. I put a much faster 8Gig memory card in it and discovered it could take pictures at 5 per second for ever providing you don't mind waiting 20 seconds for it to catchup when you stop. And with 2000 shots on a memory card, who cares. Just be ready to wait a while when you go to download it. This camera can do ISO 3200 so you can take noisy pictures in complete dark, sometimes I don't care as long as I can get a picture, and this camera can do it. I've taken amazing shots all over the world with this camera, my only complaint is the weight and when I could afford another it will probably be the XSi since it weights half as much and has most of the useful options of the EOS 30D, but I'd never sell my 30d, I'll keep it till it dies. I've got a couple of the smaller pocket camera, the latest one being the Canon A650IS, a real let down, just takes way too long to get a picture and compared to the 30D it's a piece a cr*p. Although I paid twice as much for my 30D as they cost today, I still thing it's my best investment to date. If I could afford it I suppose I would have had a 5, but that's in a whole other ball park and it weighs even more. This camera replaced my Canon A1, up till I got it I didn't have a digital that could hold a candle to my A1, but with this one the A1 got shelved and has stayed there.
The automatic settings are so good on this camera I rarely run it any other way. With adjustments to ISO and 1/3 stops you can make it do just about anything is 1/10th the time it would take you to setup manual. I am sure the 40D and the 50D have some interesting options the 30D doesn't but I've got my 30D and they will have to pry it out of my dead hands.

Summary: Bought late in its product life but still a great DSLR
Comment: 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.
