Review Verdict: A great digital camera, but the 400D looks like a better bet for many non-professional photographers
QuickTake:
Pros: Very easy to use for such a powerful camera; very good image quality even at high ISO settings
Cons: Bulky compared to lower-end digital SLRs; 400D now might look like a better bet

Canon EOS 30D with 28mm-to-135mm lens
Comments:
Review Verdict: An excellent midrange digital SLR, the 30D has given way to its even more excellent successor, the 40D. However, it remains a great choice if you can find it at a good price.

Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR
Comments:
The Canon EOS 30D is a welcome upgrade to an already great camera. The larger LCD screen and new features will directly affect everyday shooting, while the lower price tag will give you an extra $100 to spend on lenses.
Review Verdict: At first glance, the 30D looks exactly like its predecessor. The camera has the same control layout as the 20D, but a glance at the back of the camera reveals a 2.5-inch LCD screen--a marked improvement over the 20D's 1.8-inch screen

Canon EOS 30D
Comments:
The model line in which the EOS 30D sits has seen a total of five models, each offering either an upgrade in features, resolution or both. From the EOS D30 to D60 we saw a doubling in megapixel count as well as numerous feature upgrades, from the EOS 10D
Review Verdict: Maybe Canon do listen, with the i EOS 30D they have addressed no less than five of the 'Cons' from my EOS 20D review; Lack of spot metering, Fixed continuous shooting rate, Limited range of image parameter adjustment, Small LCD monitor and ISO sensitivity

This is our back-up camera to the 5D we use in our wedding photo business. Have never had to reach for it out of desperation, but the 1.6 lens factor comes in handy to extend the reach of the L series lenses in my bag.
