CANON EOS30D DSLR

Comments:
: The Canon EOS 30D is an upgrade from the 20D digital single lens reflex. Little has changed -- the 8 megapixel sensor is the same and image processing uses the same Digic engine. The most significant improvement has been the addition of spot metering. T

Review Verdict: : The Canon EOS 30D with the better lens is competition for the Nikon D200 which has a 10 megapixel sensor. Choosing between the two would be difficult and a great pleasure! Anyone lucky (rich) enough to be shopping in this market gets to choose between t

QuickTake:

Pros: : The Canon EOS 30D is a well-balanced camera that feels just right in the hand. The combination of build quality and responsiveness inspire confidence.
Cons: : Controls are not intuitive. By default the camera uses an absurd auto focussing system that is almost guaranteed to produce out-of-focus images. To reset the auto focus area to the same centre spot as the exposure meter it is necessary to consult the in

Comments:
Cheaper than a 5D and more than a 400D - can you tell why we call this a mid range DSLR from Canon?

Review Verdict: I started this review by saying that I would help you decide between the 30D and the 5D. I can't - it's up to you whether you prefer the full frame of the 5D or the cropped sensor of the 30D (plus the extra £750 in your pocket - the 5D is currently ...

This digital SLR camera offers many more customizable settings than its brethren, but are they worth the extra expense?.

Seriously Superior Digital SLR

Review Verdict: . If you can afford the EOS 30D, buy it. If you need to save for it, then be patient - eating ramen for a month to save up the extra cash is worth it. You won't be disappointed with the EOS 30D.

Comments:
The addition of spot metering is welcome and, indeed, overdue

Review Verdict: In keeping with its more serious intentions, the 30D is altogether bigger and chunkier than the EOS 350D, its entry-level stablemate. As with other 'serious' SLRs, there are two control dials rather than one: the first on the front of the handgrip, anothe

This semi professional DSLR boasts headline features of an 8.2 megapixel resolution, faster-than-average five frames per second image capture for up to 30 JPEGs (or 11 RAW files), plus a broad light sensitivity range of ISO100 to ISO3200, wrapped up in a

Review Verdict: Unusually, the power switch is at the base of the back, and is quite stiff. While this prevents accidental activation, it also means it's tricky to get the camera up and running quickly. Battery life is very impressive, with some 750 shots delivered from
