Pros: Point and shoot ease with no sacrifice on the manual settings
Cons: Pricey, Included diopter not for anyone with poor eyesight
Summary: This is my first digital SLR and I am very happy with its performance so far. It is a great mix of point and shoot ease with the full featured needs of an enthusiast or a semi-pro. Ease of Use: This camera is as easy or as complicated as you want ... read more

Pros: Good value for the money, not as complicated as older cameras, good looking, and quiet!
Cons: Lens cost a lot, but you get what you pay for!
Summary: I love this camera. You do have to learn how to use it which means take pictures until you just can't take anymore! But that is true of any camera. You have to learn your controls! I had a Minolta Maxxum 7D until I upgraded to this one. The lens cost a ... read more

Pros: Fits the hand well, adjustments easily made, weight is easily held.
Cons: Very little, maybe the difficulty of cleaning the sensor.
Summary: The 30D is a very efficient camera, it fits the hand ergonomically, it does what it should and does it well. The wheels that change settings like F-stop and Aperature are right there for you, no need to take your eye away from the camera or go into a ... read more

Pros: Lightning fast start up from standby mode. 5 FPS mode for sports.
Cons: Takes time to learn menus and features.
Summary: My first digital camera. Shoot with Canaon AEs until now. Have borrowed a few digitals to try but never quite happy. The EOS 30 shown to me last year by a photographer in Wales. The start up time was much faster than the Cool Pix I had borrowed. ... read more

Pros: Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode, iso 3200, improved white logic
Cons: Pricey? Not a huge upgrade over a 20D
Summary: My first canon dslr was the original Rebel also known as the 300D, for its time and considering what that camera cost, it was competent but it can't hold a candle to a 20D and even less so to a 30D. I shoot a lot of karate for my school, the 300D Rebel ... read more

Pros: 3200 ISO, high frame rates, low image noise
Cons: None
Summary: Even with the release of 10MB Rebel, this 8MB camera wins hands down. The 3200 ISO is well worth the extra cost over the Rebel. You can shoot indoors without a flash and at high shutter speeds to capture action all with little to no noise in the ... read more

Pros: Plenty of manual controls for the enthusiast but automatic controls for the novice.
Cons: Only 8mp, while the point and shoots are reaching higher but with less controls.
Summary: The canon 30D is the next generation of canons dSLR line that started with the 10D, then the 20D. The 30D has some slight improvements over the previous 20D including a larger LCD screen on the back for working with the menus and reviewing your ... read more

Pros: Great clarity and sharpness with this camera's auto-focus.
Cons: Doesn't perform the best in low light.
Summary: I have had my Canon 30D for about 9 months now and I have been stunned at the difference over my last DSLR. What a great piece of equipment. I have taken photos that seem to be in crisper focus and more brilliant color. I am floored at the quality of ... read more

Pros: Multitude of features, easy to figure out, excellent battery life.
Cons: Cost.
Summary: This is an AMAZING camera. I have been using it for a few months. I previously had an HP Photosmart 912x which I was tired of because it's not a digital SLR. I paid $1800 for the kit through Dell. It takes a little getting used to because you ... read more

Pros: Many features and very low noise, APS-sized CMOS gives best result with reasonable priced lenses
Cons: viewfinder a bit dark, 8 million pixels and APS-sized cmos is insufficient for studio-work.
Summary: Having used a 300D and a 10D, i hesitated a lot before getting hands on this camera. I got it with a Canon f4.0-f5.6/17-85 EF-S IS zoom, found it in Sim Lim square in Singapore. Improvements are not so important: the good things of the 20D are still ... read more

Pros: Better screen than previous model.
Cons: The lens it comes with broke very easily on mine.
Summary: I bought this as a professional photographer and I couldnt be happier. The new 2.5 inch screen is amazing compared to the 20d model. Still would be great to have a 3 in. screen. The quality and manual settings is

Pros: Great range, good price, nice feel and fast auto focus, very sharp
Cons: Vignetting wide open, plastic lens mount
Summary: This lens has some faults but with any super zoom give and take is the name of the game. My only complaint is the vignetting but it is easy to correct in PSE-5 or NX. Oh this lens is not soft it is very sharp, sharper than most lens out there. Again

Pros: Feels, handles, shoots like an updated EOS film camera. Best sports camera for $
Cons: Hey I wish it had 10MP with a 1.3x chip
Summary: At 8Mp and low noise this camera performs right at to just below maximum resolution of most Canon L series lens. At 1800 to 1900 LW/PH you need excellent glass to take full advantage of the sensor/processor. Used with a F2.8 lens the viewfinder is bright

Pros: Control wheel, feel, build quality
Cons: Price
Summary: I purchased the 30D because i wanted to get into photography. Having felt the rebel xt (350D), the XTI (400D), 20D and 30D before. I fell in love with the look and feel of the 20D and 30D. What made me choose the 30D over the 20D was because it was

Pros: Great feel to the camera, great pictures.
Cons: Received with a dirty sensor, $30 to get it cleaned.
Summary: I purchased this camera online in May. Overall the camera fully meets my expectations, it's a little heavy - I knew it would be, its a little bulky - I knew it would be. My experience using the camera has been overall very positive. However, I

Pros: Hey, Sony made an alpha, epinions forum of truth
Cons: over priced $1300, expensive accessories not worth it, terrible picture quality from top camera maker
Summary: I disliked this camera so much, I returned it and purchased a Nikon d70s. Canon is not an innovator at all, just tries to keep their sales up with hype. Poor quality, over exposed images (it always uses a flash!). Over priced by about $1300. I even

Pros: Picture quality, abundant pro features, low light shooting, great packaged software
Cons: Price, low light focusing
Summary: I upgraded from a canon 300D. The improvements that I love the most are: Rapid start-up, spot metering, 5 frames per second shooting, the improved ability to modify raw images with canon's digital photo professional and the addition of 3200 iso. I was
