Enter the 30D
Some of you may know that I have been spending much of my time doing photography as of late. I am on the Canon bandwagon, I shoot with the Canon 20D. I’ve been using Canon equipment for about six years ago starting with the Canon G1. Each year Canon busts out with new and revolutionary advances in their equipment, this year is no different. I have been waiting for some time to see what the specs for the new DSLR, the 30D, would be. I am pleased to say that they are almost exactly what I was hoping for. Some of the improvements I like are, spot metering, ISO setting can now be viewed in viewfinder and a bigger view screen. (2.5 inches). There are quite a few more and definitely something that will entice you to either buy the model or upgrade from your existing model.
* 8.2 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor
* 5 fps and 30 large JPEG frame burst
* 2.5”, 230K pixel, 170º wide viewing angle LCD screen
* Picture Style image processing parameters
* Spot metering and High Precision 9-point AF system
* DIGIC II image processor with 0.15 sec start-up time
* Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software
* 100,000 cycle shutter durability and rugged magnesium alloy body
* Simultaneous RAW and JPEG recording
* Wide 100-3200 ISO range
* E-TTL II Flash
* PictBridge compatibility
* Complete compatibility with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites
* USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and Video Out connectivity
I found a couple of great articles for the recently announced 30D, dpreview and Rob Galbraith Digital Photography Insights. Do check them out for more information about the Canon 30D.
