Conclusion: The Canon EOS-30D is an excellent midrange digital SLR. While its new features aren't exciting enough to get this 20D owner to run out and upgrade, those who are moving up from point-and-shoot or entry-level D-SLRs should definitely give the 30D a look. From most angles the 30D looks just like its predecessor, the EOS-20D. But take a look at the...
Conclusion: The EOS 30D is the eagerly-anticipated successor to Canon's very successful 20D. The 30D is an evolutionary product, having essentially the same photographic properties as its predecessor, but with a refresh of several features with current technology that Canon has included in recently announced products. The most visible upgrade is the 2...
Conclusion: Numerous tweaks, user-interface, and functional improvements over EOS-20D Excellent resolution, in-camera sharpening seems to have been tweaked slightly Excellent color, very slightly more saturated than that of the 20D in its default mode (some reds can get a little overheated though) Picture Styles provide handy "film-type" color/tone...
Conclusion: Excellent image quality. Starts in 0.15 sec. New 100,000 cycle shutter. True Spot metering. 1/3 EV increments to ISO settings. Burst mode of 30 frames at 5 fps. 19 Custom functions. Magnesium alloy body. Improved battery life. New Spot metering cannot be tied to focus point. New Print/Share button should have been customizable...
Conclusion: Maybe Canon do listen, with the i EOS 30D they have addressed no less than five of the 'Cons' from my EOS 20D review; Lack of spot metering, Fixed continuous shooting rate, Limited range of image parameter adjustment, Small LCD monitor and ISO sensitivity not displayed on viewfinder status bar while being changed. Of course everyone has different...
Conclusion: The good: Excellent low-light performance; fast and responsive; straightforward controls; nice balance of features for both experienced and rookie photographers. The bad: Pop-up flash casts shadow with some lenses; viewfinder provides only 95 percent view; average battery life; 1.6X lens-conversion factor. The bottom line: The 8-megapixel...
Conclusion: A bit of a disappointment for anyone hoping for a major upgrade, the EOS 30D is unlikely to attract anyone who already owns a 20D. However newcomers to the mid-level DSLR market will find a superbly specified camera with the usual Canon hallmarks of reliability, design and outstanding image quality. For the serious amateur or semi-pro it is the...
Conclusion: The 30D (or 20D) is what I'd have if I shot sports all the time and this was what fit my budget. Since the 20D is 95% the same camera for 80% of the price, consider it, too. If you're in the Canon system, the 30D is the first choice of weekend pros and serious amateurs. Full-time pros use the 1D Mk II N, and people who just want the same great...
Conclusion: Even though the Canon 30D may not exactly be a revolutionary digital SLR camera, and the expectations were somewhat subdued, it is still a truly fantastic camera. The concept was already solid as could be, but with the introduction of the Canon EOS 30D, Canon have once again clearly asserted and strengthened its roots and their position. There are...
