Canon EOS 30D review at dpreview
Posted by Steve on April 4th, 2006
Dpreview have posted a review of the Canon EOS 30D, the successor of the EOS 20D digital SLR camera. Compared to the 20D the EOS 30D features the same 8.2 megapixel resolution, but now includes a larger 2.5 inch LCD screen, third stop ISO selection an increased continous shooting duration.
They write:
“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 not displayed on viewfinder status bar while being changed. Of course everyone has different priorities and some of these changes may seem insignificant however it’s fair to say we’ve seen all of these issues discussed at one time or another on our forums. […]
Nobody should then be too surprised that the EOS 30D, despite its relatively minor range of updates still deserves our Highly Recommended rating. It’s a great camera to shoot with, image quality is excellent and the high sensitivity performance is still notably better than the competition, the EOS 30D inspires confidence and delivers shot after shot.”
