Pros: Everything!
Cons: I wish the playback zoom was scrollable.
Summary: I bought my D30 used in new condition for $825. It's the BEST camera I've ever owned. I've pretty much had every Canon made with the exception of the newer Digi SLRs. This is by far the best! The battery life is exceptional. I can get well over 300 shots ... read more

Cons: A little bit too bulky.
Summary: Loaded to the Max
Canon EOS D30
Well I’ve done just up-graded my digital camera again, not that I was un-happy with my Epson and my Kodak DC. I simply wanted to try the Canon EOS D30.
A friend of mine owns one and he ... read more

Pros: Interchangeable lenses. Compact flash format. Lots of bells and whistles.
Cons: Intermittent electrical problems, poor image quality.
Summary: After reading all the great reviews I decided to make this rather pricey purchase. This is the worst camera I've ever owned...and I've owned dozens. I've had nothing but problems with this camera. Intermittent uncommanded flashes from the onboard flash ... read more

Pros: Solid design, excellent ergonomics, extremely easy to transition out of film photography.
Cons: Mind-bendingly expensive, for the obsessed only.
Summary: If you've tried "point and shoot" style digital cameras, and found them greatly wanting compared to the film camera you are currently using (or at least nostalgic for), this might be the camera for you. Check out this review for an in-depth comparision, ... read more

Pros: Excellent image quality, sturdy construction, depth of field preview, and so much more!
Cons: Pricey (but worth it!), a bit large for my small hands
Summary: I've owned a Canon G1 since June of 2001 (and it's a great camera, see my review of it). I loved it, but was looking for something with a little more oomph and flexibility. I started reading some of the online digital photography boards such as ... read more

Pros: High quality colors and not too flashy.
Cons: Highly priced and slow. Built-in flash.
Summary: Although it is one of the most expensive Consumer Digital Cameras on the market, I think it's probably the best one out there! The colors that the CMOS capture device can capture are amazingly true. This camera gives Canon EOS users a path to digital ... read more

Pros: Nothing else comes close for the money, a real digital SLR
Cons: needs extra smart card almost immediately
Summary: Ignore all the digital SLR wannabees and save the small extra cash required for this one. Anyone who has ever used a Canon SLR (even those as far back as the A1) will feel instantly at home with this camera.
The time to get up and running and ... read more

Pros: Affordable, uses standard EOS lenses, nearly unsurpassable image quality, features.
Cons: NONE significant enough to keep me from buying it again.
Summary: When it comes to Digital Cameras, i've been around the block. One of my more recent purchases was the Canon G1, which I was happy with on the whole. One of the things Digital cameras kept me from doing though was using my film-based SLR. While the SLR I ... read more

Pros: Ergonomically familiar to Canon EOS SLR owners.
Camera is capable of absolutely stunning images.
Cons: Built-in flash has limited capabilities.
1.8 inch LCD display makes viewing images somewhat difficult.
Summary: The Canon EOS D30 is an excellent camera for the advanced amateur photographer who wants to cross over to the digital format. Canon did an outstanding job maintaining the operational feel of their EOS SLRs while adding a vast array of digital features. ... read more

Pros: Good image quality, good set of features
Cons: Expensive
Summary: A very expensive digital camera, but well worth the money for someone who already has experience with SLR cameras (and has Canon EF lenses). I've shot over a thousand images with this camera already and I have gotten some superb shots. There is no ... read more

Pros: Fully compatible with Canon lenses and accessories, well-engineered
Cons: Expensive
Summary: I used an Olympus digital camera for my work about two years ago. It was a 1.4 megapixel camera, and a great introduction to the world of digital photography. I knew that even better cameras would soon be on the market, but didn't have a chance to use ... read more

Pros: Solid-build, great imaging, familiar canon interface, 1.6x effective focal length gives great telephoto!
Cons: Somewhat pricey, slow (but good) preview (histogram!), 1.6x effective focal length diminishes wide-angle lenses
Summary: I've had my EOS D30 for about two months now. I've taken about 1250 pictures, most with a 28-200mm zoom lens(effective 45-320), but also using 14mm (22) and 20mm (32) wide-angle lenses and a 100mm (160) macro lens.

Pros: Excellent build quality, great results
Cons: No lcd backlight, low light focusing tough, 16mb flash card as standard
Summary: I was a devote Eos 1V user and quite content using film. Then I had the opportunity to use a D30 for a day. Within 24 hours I had purchased my own and I have not looked back since. The D30 has a solid feel which is better if you add the battery grip ... read more
