Canon EOS 30D

Pros: Point and shoot ease with no sacrifice on the manual settings

Cons: Pricey, Included diopter not for anyone with poor eyesight

The Bottom Line: Recommended as an upgrade from a 10d or earlier. Go with the 20d if this is your first DSLR as it is great and cheaper.

Review: This is my first digital SLR and I am very happy with its performance so far. It is a great mix of point and shoot ease with the full featured needs of an enthusiast or a semi-pro. Ease of Use: This camera is as easy or as complicated as you want ...

Pros: Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode, iso 3200, improved white logic

Cons: Pricey? Not a huge upgrade over a 20D

The Bottom Line: If you already own a 20D, you'll dance when you try this one. If you want to go up and can't decide the 20D vs. the 30D get this one.

Review: My first canon dslr was the original Rebel also known as the 300D, for its time and considering what that camera cost, it was competent but it can't hold a candle to a 20D and even less so to a 30D. I shoot a lot of karate for my school, the 300D Rebel ...

Pros: Many features and very low noise, APS-sized CMOS gives best result with reasonable priced lenses

Cons: viewfinder a bit dark, 8 million pixels and APS-sized cmos is insufficient for studio-work.

The Bottom Line: Unless you are making prints of over A3 size, i think this camera is marvelous. Together with the 17-85 mm stabilized zoom, it is sheer unbeatable.

Review: Having used a 300D and a 10D, i hesitated a lot before getting hands on this camera. I got it with a Canon f4.0-f5.6/17-85 EF-S IS zoom, found it in Sim Lim square in Singapore. Improvements are not so important: the good things of the 20D are still ...

Pros: Multitude of features, easy to figure out, excellent battery life.

Cons: Cost.

The Bottom Line: Professional Quality at a Prosumer price.

Review: This is an AMAZING camera. I have been using it for a few months. I previously had an HP Photosmart 912x which I was tired of because it's not a digital SLR. I paid $1800 for the kit through Dell. It takes a little getting used to because you ...

Pros: 3200 ISO, high frame rates, low image noise

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If your looking for Digital SLR. Stop looking. Buy this one.

Review: Even with the release of 10MB Rebel, this 8MB camera wins hands down. The 3200 ISO is well worth the extra cost over the Rebel. You can shoot indoors without a flash and at high shutter speeds to capture action all with little to no noise in the ...

Pros: Plenty of manual controls for the enthusiast but automatic controls for the novice.

Cons: Only 8mp, while the point and shoots are reaching higher but with less controls.

The Bottom Line: The camera can be used by anyone with minimal photographic background. The pictures are crisp and the controls are excellent.

Review: The canon 30D is the next generation of canons dSLR line that started with the 10D, then the 20D. The 30D has some slight improvements over the previous 20D including a larger LCD screen on the back for working with the menus and reviewing your ...

Pros: Good value for the money, not as complicated as older cameras, good looking, and quiet!

Cons: Lens cost a lot, but you get what you pay for!

The Bottom Line: Camera is easy to use, flash is strong, and battery life is excellent! Great quality for the price!

Review: I love this camera. You do have to learn how to use it which means take pictures until you just can't take anymore! But that is true of any camera. You have to learn your controls! I had a Minolta Maxxum 7D until I upgraded to this one. The lens cost a ...

Pros: Lightning fast start up from standby mode. 5 FPS mode for sports.

Cons: Takes time to learn menus and features.

The Bottom Line: Good camera for anyone moving up from the pocket cameras. Remember all the megapixels in the world don't do you any good with out good optics.Canon has great lenses.

Review: My first digital camera. Shoot with Canaon AEs until now. Have borrowed a few digitals to try but never quite happy. The EOS 30 shown to me last year by a photographer in Wales. The start up time was much faster than the Cool Pix I had borrowed. ...

Pros: Fits the hand well, adjustments easily made, weight is easily held.

Cons: Very little, maybe the difficulty of cleaning the sensor.

The Bottom Line: I highly recomend this camera for anyone who wants to take great photos. The photos stand on their own but they are worthy of time spent with enhancements.

Review: The 30D is a very efficient camera, it fits the hand ergonomically, it does what it should and does it well. The wheels that change settings like F-stop and Aperature are right there for you, no need to take your eye away from the camera or go into a ...
