Reviews on Canon EOS 30D 8.2 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body Only
D30 Review
Strengths: excellent build quality, good ergonomics, many professional quality features, takes great photos
Weakness: a few pros might prefer complete weatherproofing
Canon literature suggests that the 30D is designed for both professional photographers and serious amateurs. So I guess I’m a bit of both. Roughly three decades ago I paid for a chunk of my college education as a campus photographer. My instrument of choice was a Nikon F, using only high quality Nikkor glass. When film cameras had seemingly lost touch with an electronic world, I purchased my...
Serious Upgrade!
Strengths: Screen Size, Durability, AF System, FPS (Frames Per Second) Rate, Canon EOS System
Weakness: 1.6x Lens Magnification Factor
I was hesitant to ditch my Canon 35mm SLR and join the digital revolution, so a year ago I bought the Digital Rebel XT to see how my existing Canon EOS lenses, flashes and accessories in the digital realm. I was pleased with the Digital Rebel XT, but I missed some of the professional features on my 35mm SLR. I also felt that the XT was too small for my hands and felt poorly balanced when paired...
Excellent DSLR
Strengths: 100K shutter system, 5fps continous shooting, 2.5" LCD
Weakness: Build-in flash is not too good
Except the build-in flash, I am totally satisfied with this camera. If you use any L lenses with the lens hood, the lens hood might block part of the flash and there might be a circular shadow appear in the picture. I use 580EX at all time, so no problem for me. I guess when you spend that much for a camera, you got be somehow serious. Please don't waste money on the bundle with EF-S 18-55 lens,...
Great DSLR
Strengths: Canon Name and Reputation, Ease of use, 2.5 inch LCD
Weakness: The viewfinder is not 100%. Since I upgraded from the Digital Rebel, I was used to not having a 100% viewfinder. However, some people may find this as a weakness. Cost.
I upgraded to this camera from the Digital Rebel XT. I was very happy with my digital Rebel, so I wanted to stick with the Canon name. I didn't feel that I needed the more expensive Canon cameras (5D or 1D). In my opinion, the biggest selling point to this camera over the 20D is the 2.5 inch LCD. The large screen makes it much easier to review images in the field. Since I had been very familiar...
Nice upgrades to the 20D
Strengths: Quiet Shutter, Huge LCD, ISO in Viewfinder
Weakness: Came with dust on the sensor!
The Canon 30D is not a huge improvement over the 20D but it has some nice amenities. - The 2.5 inch LCD is awesome. That was the first thing I noticed, of course. And that was enough to hook me into buying it and selling the 20D. I haven’t had a chance to try out the new metering or the picture styles. Besides, once I upgrade my hard drive I’ll being shooting exclusively in RAW so picture...
Canon 30D Review
Strengths: Build Quality, Comfort when holding in hand, 2.5 inch display, Ability to reading ISO in the viewfinder.
Weakness: Not a 100% viewfinder. Little bit on the pricey side.
This was an upgrade from a Rebel XT. I'm still a beginner photographer but the move from XT to 30D was a good one. The feel and build quality is just to much better. I went hiking with the XT and I just couldn't hold the XT in my hand for a long period of time but that changed with the 30D due to the bigger grip and rubber feel. The weight is also much more balanced when using long range lens ex:...
Amazing Camera
Strengths: Spot Metering, 2.5 inch LCD
Weakness: Price (relative to 20D)
I have been a long time user of Canon point and shoot cameras, but now that all my colleagues are taking amazing pictures with their SLRs, I decided to get one of my own. After testing their EOS 20D extensively, I decided to go for the latest model. The camera feels very solidly built, all the buttons and features are placed at the great locations, the result of years of refinement. The new 2.5"...
Canon 30d
Strengths: Great image quality, canon brand and quality, many lenses, strong build quality
Weakness: nothing
This is my very first DSLR camera. After having taken approximately 200 shots immediately after getting it, I can see the great differences. There are so many functions and features that I'd have to learn with this camera, but from the initial perspective, it was worth the investment.
Great camera
Strengths: Professional quality; easy to use; large LCD is a huge bonus
Weakness: None so far
This is a great camera that captures quality photos (assuming you know how to take good shots). The functions/settings are easy to use and situated well on the camera. What stands out about the 30d is the 2.5 inch LCD. It's huge! You're able to get a better feel for the image that was captured without having to zoom in. In sum, this is a great camera for anyone wanting to get a dSLR. I highly...

TopCanon EOS 30D
The concept was already solid as could be, but with the introduction of the Canon EOS 30D, Canon have once again clearly asserted and strengthened its roots and their position. There are virtually no points that might cause any form of hindrance for the user, which, in our opinion, is an excellent performance indeed. A superb camera!
TopCamera Labs – Canon EOS 30D review
Canon’s EOS 30D may be little more than an evolutionary step forward, but it’s crucial to remember it improves upon a camera which most agreed was already excellent. While it may have been more honest to describe it as a 20D Mark II, the 30D remains a great camera which is enjoyable and rewarding to use, while delivering lower noise levels than its rivals. There may be few existing Canon...
TopCanon EOS 30D Digital SLR
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.
TopDCRP Review: Canon EOS-30D
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.
TopCanon EOS 30D Digital Camera Review
At 8.2 megapixels, with a 5-frame-per-second burst, a 9-point autofocus system, and Canon's DIGIC II processing chip, the 30D matches its predecessor, the Canon EOS 20D, specification for specification. However, the 30D has a 2.5-inch LCD, which makes the 1.8-inch unit on the 20D look like a postage stamp. The 30D also boasts revised menus and image parameters, and a $1400 list price, $100 lower...

Buy or not?
Strengths: The consumer camera did not get good ISO like Canon 30D yet, I have 20D, 30D, 5D.
Weakness: Loud shutter sound, not accurate AWB in yellow light, not all the images has good focus In low light even with AF light from the external flash & good lens with F2.8.
I am happy with it and I recommend it for any photographer, keep in mind that what is important the one behind the camera not the camera, but the camera could make our work better. _____ The new camera will have: Higher ISO with No grain (or noise), ISO 10,000 Olympus FE, ISO 6400 EOS-1D Mark III Chips with Optical Image stabilization in all direction Weatherproof function 3.5-inch LCD screen...
