Canon EOS 30D, 8.2 Megapixel, SLR, Digital Camera (Camera Body)
The Canon EOS 30D brings proven EOS technology to a higher level, giving photographers an unbeatable photographic experience. The EOS 30D incorporates a host of features with Canon's highly acclaimed 8.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC II Image Processor. The EOS 30D includes enhanced operational features such as a 2.5 inch LCD monitor, true spot metering, a durable shutter mechanism and Canon's Picture Style feature, all in an sturdy, magnesium-clad body. With all these new features the EOS 30D is truly perfection, refined.
- 8.2 Megapixel CMOS Sensor
- Canon's large-area CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. This APS-C size sensor (22.5 x 15.0mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. In addition, the EOS 30D has an extensive ISO range (from 100 to 1600 plus ISO 3200 in extended mode), which is selectable in 1/3-stop increments.
- DIGIC II Image Processor
- The DIGIC II Image Processor was designed specifically for Canon digital SLRs and enhances every aspect of image capture. Information captured by the CMOS sensor is processed and assembled into images of exceptional quality. With the DIGIC II Image Processor on board, photographers can expect natural color reproduction, precise white balance in any number of lighting situations and unparalleled clarity. The DIGIC II Image Processor employs sophisticated signal processing algorithms and works at greater speeds, all while consuming less energy.
- User-selectable High-Speed and Low-Speed Continuous Shooting
- The EOS 30D allows users to specify high-speed 5 fps or a low-speed 3 fps continuous shooting for more controlled shooting and/or to save space on the CF card. And it can capture up to 30 JPEG and 11 RAW (or 9 RAW + JPEG) files in one burst. Whether it's the 0.15-second startup time, the high-speed mirror drive, the nearly instant 65-millisecond shutter release lag time or the predictive AF focusing at speeds up to 5.0 frames per second, the EOS 30D will amaze and delight photographers who don't want to wait for their camera when they're ready to shoot.
- Large 2.5 Inch LCD Monitor
- The EOS 30D has a brilliant 2.5 inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels resolution. This monitor not only displays more information, it can also be viewed at a greater angle (170°) than many conventional LCD monitors. The full-featured shot information screen not only provides an RGB histogram, it can display the AF frame used. Furthermore, Magnification zooms to the focus point rather than the center of the image to check exposure and critical focus. Menus are accessed at the touch of a button and feature larger text than previous models that is easier to read. Whether changing color parameters, setting up custom functions, organizing folders or setting white balance, the EOS 30D helps photographers get to their information quickly, so they never miss a shot.
- "Picture Style" Settings
- The EOS 30D incorporates Canon's Picture Style settings, which simulate the characteristics of different film styles, allowing photographers to customize their shooting to their personal taste or needs. These include Standard, for punchy, print-from-the-camera color, Portrait, for softer, more natural skin tones, Landscape, for vivid blues and greens and overall sharpness, and Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome, which can be customized to emulate color filters with black and white film.
- Strong and Durable
- The EOS 30D has a solid, substantial feel that complements its compact dimensions. The camera body is constructed of magnesium-alloy, known for its lightweight and ultra-rigid strength. It has an improved high-speed and durable shutter unit, designed to perform flawlessly and reaching a top shutter speed of 1/8000 second with a remarkable 100,000-cycle shutter life.
- Metering Precision
- The EOS 30D has a spot metering function that meters roughly 3.5% of the center of the image. This metering function, in addition to Canon's impressive evaluative, center-weighted average and partial metering modes, gives the photographer even more choices for custom-tailored shooting.
- 9-point Wide-area AF with a Dual Precision Sensor at the Center
- The EOS 30D has a high-precision, 9-point wide area AF system that uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually-selected using the 30D's intuitive, thumb-operated multi-controller
- Direct Printing with PictBridge Compatible Printers
- The EOS 30D lets you print beautiful photos with minimum time and effort - directly from the camera. It's compatible with Canon's SELPHY Compact Photo Printers, desktop PIXMA Photo Printers, and even third-party PictBridge-compatible printers.
- Powerful Bundled Software
-
The EOS 30D comes bundled with the Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 12.0) , which features powerful software programs designed to extend the EOS experience to the computer. Each application is designed to perfectly captured images, and streamline your digital workflow.
- Digital Photo Professional (Version 2.1) provides easy-to-use RAW conversion tools, including high-speed RAW image processing, high-speed previewing for real-time image adjustment and support for sRGB, Adobe RGB and Wide Gamut RGB color spaces. Since it's CMS (Color Management System) compatible, Digital Photo Professional allows for easy image layout and printing in Adobe RGB in conjunction with Easy-PhotoPrint and PictBridge printers.
- Canon's EOS Utility software (version 1.0) handles the connection between the camera and computer, whenever they're connected via USB. It allows remote controlled shooting from the computer, handles downloading of images from the camera to the computer, and allows seamless linking to either Canon's ZoomBrowser/ImageBrowser or Digital Photo Professional software once images have been copied to the hard drive. Furthermore, it's used to upload settings back into a USB-connected camera, from Picture Style files to the user-named file. There's also a folder monitor - ideal to check and display images being transmitted by the optional WFT-E1A wireless transmitter.
- Canon's ZoomBrowser EX for Windows and ImageBrowser for Mac OS X are the easy, user-friendly options for viewing and editing of JPEG and even RAW image files. Both allow viewing of numerous types of images including finished TIFF and BMP files. Both also have a variety of search options for finding images, allow re-naming of single images or batches of files, and offer a variety of options for printing without using a separate image-editing program.
- Fully Compatible with All EF and EF-S Lenses
- The EOS 30D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses, and including Canon's EF-S series lenses, manufactured specifically for Canon's APS-C sized digital sensor. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process. Aspherical optics and fluorite elements, for example, are featured in the universally acclaimed L Series lenses, and Canon's Image Stabilizer technology in select lenses minimizes the effect of camera shake. Through Canon lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and liberating performance of the EOS 30D.
- Flash Photography
- The EOS 30D features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system introduced with the EOS-1D Mark II. Whether using its flush-mounted integrated flash, or any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output through numerous exposures.
- Additional Accessories
- In addition to Canon's EF lenses and Speedlite flashes, many other accessories are designed by Canon to work perfectly with the EOS 30D. The Battery Grip BG-E2 adds a vertical shutter release, and is compatible with up to two of Canon's BP-511A Lithium-ion battery packs for increased shooting capacity, or alternatively a set of six AA-size batteries, for greater convenience when traveling. Canon's Semi Hard Case EH17-L can accommodate the EOS 30D with a small zoom lens (e.g. EF-S 18-55mm). The EOS 30 D is also Compatible with the Canon DVK-E2 Data Verification Kit which can verify whether or not a photo is an untouched original and the WFT-E1A Wireless File Transmitter which allows photographers to transmit images from their cameras directly to a computer over a Wireless network.

I purchased the 30D from B&H in late July and liked it immediately, but I noticed the auto focus was sometimes completely off. Then in October, I noticed that the shutter/mirror was hesitating and/or getting stuck. I mailed the camera back to Canon and got it back in a few days with a letter saying the shutter/mirror operation was repaired and theC-mos was cleaned. I then shot about 100 more photos and the auto focus stopped working -- in the middle of a press conference. It would search for focus but wouldn't actually select a focus. The body is back in the shop. Canon is doing the repair for free but they have denied my request for a new body and were unfazed by the inconvenience I'm suffering as a working press photographer who is also presently enrolled in a photography course. I've based my ratings below on the camera when it was functioning, but the trouble I've had have been really disappointing.
Problems Encountered: See above review.

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera (Camera Body):
I bought this camera used and it is not a disappointment. I use it quite often and it has never failed me. I have used it for events and weddings and the results continue to be spectacular. I have used the comparable camera from the most prolific competitor and I can honestly say that the Canon 30D outperforms that camera. It is much easier to use, and it is better designed to be steady when shooting. The value for the price is unbeatable.

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera (Camera Body):
This is one of the best investments I ever made. I could not be more pleased with my 30D. I am also glad that I bought the 17-85 mm lens. I use both the wide angle and zoom almost every time I shoot... so versatile!! The Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens is my next splurge.

I purchased this camerar approx. 1 1/2 ago. I use it for everything. My kids sports, travel,family pics etc. Now my teenager is borrowing for her yearbook class. She loves it too! The only thing a had a problem with was the weight of the camera when used with my 28-135mm is lens which is a heavy lens. However, I have petite hands. I recommend it.

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera (Camera Body):
I have owned the 30D for two years, it produces wonderful images. I can also testify to its ruggedness. In early October, while photographing trains, I fell off a bridge and hit some rocks while wearing the camera around my neck. The camera body suffered three dings but continues to work beautifully. I am amazed at its ruggedness.

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera (Camera Body):
Bought camera about a year ago and loved it for the first 8 or 9 months, then it started producing erratic and unreliable results - photos were often either badly over or underexposed - 5 sequential shots would give 5 different results - even bracketing was unreliable. I think it has something to do with the electronics, but purchasing and installing a new battery didn't help. Hope I can get it repaired as a backup - it was a great camera when it worked. Also found dust to be a problem, even though I was extremely careful when changing lenses. Think the camera handles very well generally, but am not a fan of having the on/off button on the back. The Rebel has the switch on the top which was easier to use, and made more sense. Am thinking about the 40D (hoping price will drop now that the 50D is out...)

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera (Camera Body):
I needed a back-up camera for my Canon 5D without the cost of another 5D. The choice was between a 30D and 40D as these both operate similarly to the 5D. The 40D is basically the 30D with a greater number of pixels on the sensor and a few extra bells and whistles. Now that the 30D has been superceeded B&H were selling them for a lot less than a 40D, so decision was made.
It is a brilliant camera- easy to use, feels tough, very quick to operate. For a recent contract job to take birds at a botanical garden the 1.6 crop gave extra power to the zoom lens coupled with the 5 shots per second it was ideal. It is thus a perfect companion to the 5D which is full framed sensor and less shots per second but renders beautiful skin tones like no other camera on the market. I really enjoy using the 30D.

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera (Camera Body):
I use the 30D for freelance weddings and events for my job. Very quiet in high ISO and great in low light situations. I used a 28-135 IS ultrasonic lens and i love using my 50mm 1.8 lens. I will probaly buy another 30D body in the near future as i am using a xt and a xti body. This camera is a must-buy if you want to upgrade from the xt or xti.

I really like this camera, so much so this is my second body purchase. After using the first 30D body for only 3 months, I immediately proceeded to buy another one as I always like to have a back up, only to find that Canon stop making this one and replaced it with what they called an upgrade, the 40D. I was happy that I was able to find still new stock at B&H (as I don't like to buy used) and acquired my second 30D body. [...]

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera (Camera Body):
i bought the 30D to replace my 10D that i used for 5yrs. i chose the 30D over the 40D because the 40D has live view . i will never use this function. mega pixel count was not a big issue either. i also own 1D MKII .i print no bigger than 13X19. i don't know if my eyeballs can see the difference.i love the 30D because it has along
shutter live of 100,000 actuations and the compatability with my canon flashes etc.

Comments about Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera (Camera Body):
I bought this camera to upgrade from my digital Rebel, and so far it has been well worth the cost. Colours are amazing, pictures are sharp, and I have a lot more "keepers" with this camera. It's a big upgrade from the Rebel, in quality of construction and images. The build feels more natural and better quality, not like a toy. Shutter feels slow and focus is slightly louder, but it doesn't affect me or my images. Overall, I love this camera.
