DCRP Reviews Canon EOS-30D
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "THOUGHT" @ 11:00 AM
"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 back of the camera and you'll see the most noticeable difference: a large 2.5" LCD display. While the screen isn't as bright or sharp as the one on the Nikon D200, it's still much nicer than the one found on the 20D or Rebel XT. The 30D is very well put together, with a metal core and solid plastic and rubber outer shell. The controls are well-placed, and Canon hasn't gone overboard with buttons. Some of the controls, like the four-way controller and playback zoom buttons, are downright useful. Like the 20D before it, the 30D supports both EF and EF-S lenses, and the 1.6X focal length conversion ratio is unchanged."
A really well done review. I definitely recommend reading through it.
