Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR Camera

The lens shown with this camera is sold separately. With a price tag hovering above the $1400 mark, the Canon EOS is aimed at the serious amateur as well as the professional photographer. The camera boasts a full frame CMOS sensor that features an effective 8.2 MP resolution for sharp, clear and highly accurate images. With the DIGIC II image processor, the EOS 30D is capable of shooting at up to 5 fps (high speed) or 3 fps (low speed). In addition, the camera can capture up to 30 JPEG, 11 RAW or 9 (RAW+JPEG) files. The Picture Style function simulates the characteristics of different film styles for excellent command of in-camera color, contrast and sharpness. In addition, the 2.5" LCD screen can be viewed even at extreme angles of up to 170°. It features high-precision 9-point wide area AF with dual precision sensors at the center which can be automatically or manually selected to ensure an enhanced degree of focus accuracy when tracking a moving subject. Simply connect the camera to a Canon SELPHY Compact Photo printer, desktop PIXMA Photo Printer or any PictBridge™ compatible printer for direct printing of pictures.

'If it ain't broke, don't fix it--that seems to be Canon's approach to its EOS 30D, the follow-up to its perennial favorite, the EOS 20D. Aside from a few performance tweaks, the Canon EOS 30D is the same camera as its predecessor. (For complete details of the 20D/30D, read the EOS 20D review; in this piece, I address mainly the enhancements that differentiate the 30D.) It has the same well-balanced, magnesium-alloy body with its intelligently laid-out controls; an almost identical set of pro-level, extremely customizable features; and roughly the same, excellent performance. Also, thanks to the identical 8-megapixel CMOS sensor and image-processing system, it yields the same superb photos, especially at high-ISO sensitivity settings.'
