    This Camera is AWESOME

    By Amy  Dec 11, 2008 | 2 out of 2 found this Canon EOS 30D (Body Only) review helpful

    Pros: beautiful picture quality, low noise at any ISO, Price, strong contruction

    Cons: buttons and controls can be a bit tricky

    I bought a 40D to upgrade from my Xti and decided to sell my Xti and use the money to buy a used 30D as a back up camera to the 40D. I was highly dissatisfied with the 40D. Even at 100 ISO with proper exposure my images had noticeable noise in them. I even turned on the noise reduction feature. I ended up returning the 40D and am currently waiting on a 50D to arrive, in the mean time I have been using the 30D which was initially bought to be my back up, but it has oushined the 40D in picture quality by far. I have been so happy with this camera. Megapixels are over rated. 8.2 is plenty, especially if the picture quality is excellent... as is the case of the 30D. I love this camera. GREAT buy.

    Canon EOS 30D, still going strong in 2008

    By Perry  Mar 6, 2008 | 3 out of 3 found this Canon EOS 30D (Body Only) review helpful

    Pros: High burst speed shooting, better grip than the XTi, excellent low-light performance

    Cons: AF hunts in very low light situations

    Great camera for low light sports shooting. Paired it with a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS USM telephoto zoom and a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 standard zoom. I used it at the Spectrum in Philadelphia to get great shots of a casual league game. ISO 800 performance is excellent. The body is much easier to hold than the Digital Rebel XTi with a large lens fitted. The only shortcoming is occasional autofocus hunting in very low light situations, but for $350 less than a 40D, I can live with using manual focus once in a while.

    Best ever

    By David  Jan 2, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Canon EOS 30D (Body Only) review helpful

    Pros: Fabulous camera / ease of use

    Cons: Can't think of any

    I put off buying a new camera for ages and have now jumped in with both feet. I leave it on automatic most of the time and am still getting use to all the features. I use it outdoors for sports work & indoors for studio work.

    When I waterski and want pictures of myself I hand the camera to whoever is sitting in the skiboat. I set it on automatic / sports mode and tell them to point the camera & shoot. Without fail,the camera in the hands of a novice, I get good results every time it says it all....

    Also great for nightime pictures

    Next purchase - a good telephoto

    Awesome D-SLR, The Best Of Its Class

    By Nam  Oct 10, 2007 | 2 out of 2 found this Canon EOS 30D (Body Only) review helpful

    Pros: 5fps, user friendly, study built, good images, awesome shooting ability

    Cons: The view finder doesn't show like 2-4% of the actual image.

    The 30D is the best of its class for even the price it has. It has one of the most decent price for such an amazing SLR. It's hard to find anything in its class that shoot at 5 frames per second with a nice crisp image and lots of features. The navigation around the SLR is very easy to use and its super user friendly, you dont need to read much of the manual to figure everything out even if you're a beginner. It have nice shutter sound and strong built, the lens have good quality and the design is very nice. The camera look professional with no other colors on it beside black. So with the first look it already look like a high class device. No red or yellow marks anywhere that make the camera look cheesy. The grip is nice and the battery is quite good. It have very quick and responsive processor for instant turn on and shoot. So with this camera you wont miss those quick moments of your life. I would prefer this over a lot of other camera in its class because its quite cheap and have absolutely awesome customer services. They are helpful and talk to you as long as possible just to get you to work everything out if you dont understand it. The camera will definitely give you the ease feeling of a good investment and value. Top notch SLR, even faster than the 5D itself. or the Nikon D80, D40x and its on the same level as the professional full frame D200.

    Canon 30D

    By Nam  Oct 1, 2007 | 0 out of 3 found this Canon EOS 30D (Body Only) review helpful

    Pros: what is true for 20D remains

    Cons: direct print button, very poor lens kit performance, menu and button layout confusing

    30D what? You mean the Canon 20D?

    There is no difference between the two! Trust me! Oh, Canon added a direct print button. What? Are you kidding me?

    What is true for the 20D remains with the 30D though. It was an amazing camera and still is. Too bad Canon should have called this the 20Ds. My rating of the 30D compared to the 20D is down due to no obvious difference between them.

    Best SLR I have used

    By mikeD  Jul 12, 2007 | 3 out of 3 found this Canon EOS 30D (Body Only) review helpful

    Pros: Ease of use, quality of pictures, features

    Cons: As Far as SLR cameras go I have found little to problems with this camera. If I had to name one I would say price.

    I have used Nikon D80 and D200. Both are excellent cameras but when I used the 30D I fell in love with it. The weight was perfect for me and it allowed me to utalize the functions with ease after getting use to the camera. The IS lens package makes taking pro quality pictures easy. My wife had no problems taking pictures of my daughter skiiing while she was on a bumpy boat. It was hard for me to believe she took them. Battery life is great and even though it is expensive, for what you get it is worth every penny
