This was the big gift for my husband...One piece of advice though - find the body without a lens and buy a better lens than the one that come with this kit." "This product is more then I expected and came with many extras I cannot expect any mor
Some people recommend cleaning it yourself since its something we\'ll have to learn eventually anyways...This camera is solid, fast and overall a joy to use...Prompt shipping and a good price from new egg...
If buying sigma go for only EX or EX DG line because those have the good motors that are as fast as the canon focusing motors...the good things of the 20D are still there: very good image quality with its 8,2 megapixel cmos, and very useful high iso shoot
I guess Canon will replace it in the fall and I will use that opportunity to buy another one at a good discount...I stepped into the 30D upon the recommendations of 3 professional photographers and all three are 100% right...Bright LCD, Comfortable Contro
That lens will serve as a good reference point for what you are missing by using the kit lens...And while Elements is a great program and more than adequate for most needs I would recommend considering Photoshop CS2 for those who intend to plumb the depth
I first got into photography using only powershot digital point and shoot cameras. I then got into learning about SLR's and started off with the Canon Rebel XTi and discovered I wanted to move up a notch to buy the 30D.Let me tell you this. Buying th
I love this camera. I bought it a while back, well before the 40D came out. The current price of $800.00 body only is an insanely good deal. Yes, the new 40D is better, but if your budget is under $1000.00, this is a no brainer. Actually, I can't bel
Nothing much to say. It is awesome. Sorry this is not useful, but I just have to express it.
Outstanding camera. Every bit as good as advertised. My son spent months reviewing this camera and he's very pleased with it.
I like this camera very much. My only complain is regarding auto focus points. I wish all of them were high-precision cross-type points.
I'm really a film photographer at heart. I just like the process of developing film, printing photos and looking at a black and white pictures printed on fiber-based photographic paper. I initially resisted digital photography as a poor imitation of
8.2 MP is excellent for non professional users. Functions great and package full included charger and cables and software.
I bought this camera just 4 days before the new 40D was released (oops!). It's ok though, as I'll eventually get the 40D and use the 30D as my backup. For now, the 30D is AMAZING. I've upgraded to the 30D from the Rebel XT and it has made a
First, the camera takes fantastic pictures, even with the cheap packaged lens. The photos are just great.BUT, the camera is not for the point and shoot crowd at all. If you're looking to open up the box, take a few pictures and be impressed, you'
I got this camera in July 2007. I was intimidated by all the features and buttons, but if your a noobie to SLR cameras, buy the magic lantern companion book and the DVD. It only took me about a month to figure everything out. The 30D is pretty much all yo
I love this camera. My first DSLR was the Rebel XT, which I love and still use, but the 30D is by far my favorite. The larger LCD, the larger view finder, the faster shutter, the ease to change the shutter and f-stop, etc, etc, really made it worth it to
Received this camera used from another photographer in July 2007. Camera had been used to take a few images before me, but I was not concerned because the build quality of the 20d, 30d camera line is SOLID.This camera takes pictures in low light much bett
I am a seventeen-year-old senior in high school. I am the photo editor of my school's yearbook, and also the go-to person for any photography questions people may have at my school. I've been recommending Canons to people since I got my first po
I am a semi-professional photographer who normally shoots with the Canon 1 series digital bodies. As much as I love the 1 series, there are times when I want to use a smaller body. Years ago I had the 10D and loved the feel of the camera and quiet shutter
I bought this camera outfit a month ago.Right out of the box, with no prior knowledge, I used it as a point and shoot because I needed it that night for some important pics. Wow, was I amazed at how intuitive the camera is at choosing the right settings f
Canon has a great model for producing winners... learn from professional photographers what they need in a camera, and then make it better than that. I chose the 30D as a replacement for a 10D. The 30D has great performance in a compact package you can ea

Pros: IQ, features, ease-of-use, ergonomics, LCDs Cons: None for me First, I'm not a novice to either photography nor digi-cams. This is my second digi-SLR, my fourth digi-cam. It's my second Canon digital SLR. It's perhaps my seventh SLR alt
Pros: Larger viewer, faster frames per second, larger format Cons: On/Off switch could be more convenient I upgraded from a Digital Rebel from a couple of years ago. I wanted the action "frames per second" speed that the 30D gives me, but also
Pros: 2.5" LCD, depth of field preview, 3 or 5 fps Cons: Still expensive, mine didn't come w/ Photoshop I decided between this and the Canon 20D, but chose the 30D after finding out about Canon's rebate program. When buying a lens and a came

Pros: Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode Cons: Pricey? 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.
