I had no investment in a DSLR but narrowed my choices to the Canon 30D and the Nikon D200. I had always wanted a Nikon. The D200 is definitely a joy to hold and it did take good pictures (I tried both at a camera store before I bought the 30D). I did a lot of research (more than I care to admit!) and there was no conclusive evidence that one camera had a clear edge over the other. Depending on your specific needs, one camera may be "slightly better" than the other.
After trying out both cameras, I was convinced the 30D was as good a fit for my needs as the D200. For "value for money" the 30D was a clear winner over the D200 (I got mine when Canon had the Cash in with Canon promotion going). Also, as a beginner to SLR I found the 30D with its fully automatic and scene modes easy to start out with. I don't expect to use the scene modes or the full auto mode after a week or two. I expect to quickly graduate to the creative control zones. But to use as a family camera, the quick scene modes are very helpful. If you expect to use it more on a professional basis it'd probably not matter.
Additionally, when I checked it out at the store, I noticed the Canon 30D focused sharply almost every time. The D200 did not at least a few times. I'd take this with a grain of salt though since it was a brief trial at a store. But I thought I'd share my experience. It may have just been an anomaly with the actual equipment I tried out.
Do I still find the Nikon D200 to be a great camera? Absolutely! Do I regret having bought a Canon 30D? Absolutely not! The decision swinger in my case was really the "money factor". I was more than willing to spend up to $300 more for the Nikon D200. But when the difference became $550 it no longer became justifiable for my Christmas gift to myself:-)
My purchases included the Canon 30D [...], Canon 17-85mm EF-S IS USM lens [...], and a SanDisk Extreme III 2GB compact flash card [...]
I plan to add an external flash to this soon, and will consider eventual lenses after I determine that the camera is a long-term keeper.

I bought this camera recently, receiving it 2 weeks before a wedding that I was going to shoot. The fact that I was able to acquaint myself with the camera in 2 weeks was a great feature. I had previously owned a Canon Rebel, but wanted something more sturdy with the ability to expand my experience in photography. This camera has a lot of features that make it a great buy for the price I bought it.
I don't have a light kit yet, but the PC port (for Studio Flashes) gives me the option to add that easily at a later date.
Being able to change the light metering from Spot, Evaluative and Center Weighted has helped me be that bit more creative with my shots on the fly during a wedding. I typically shoot in Av mode and let the camera set the appropriate lighting.
Setting the camera to Quick Mode, allowing for use of the Quick Wheel during shots is great when you want to quickly underexpose a shot for sunsets or other sky shots to pick up detail.
Allowing me to change the Focusing Mode from One Shot, AI Servo, And Auto has really helped, too.
If you are serious about your photography hobby, I would recommend this camera over the XTI, or others in the Rebel series. Also, Canon's reputation for quality is confirmed with this camera.

I've been waiting years for the prices of Digital SLRs to get down to my comfort zone. This is definitely it. A full set of pro features, uses all my Canon lenses and well under a grand.
The Rebels with the 10MP were only slightly tempting, but the plastic bodies were a deal-killer.

This is my first major upgrade to the older digital rebel (300D), and I am very pleased. I've come to realize that it's not the number of megapixels that makes the camera great, it's everything the camera will do for the photographer. Believe me, this camera does everything I could possibly want.

Unfortunately you only find 63% discount on STBR cameras. This one is undoubtfully an extra fine pro-am camera with very nice features that has been around for 5 years now. Even today, 8mp is more than you'd normally need, unless you require extra large prints. You are getting a very fair value for your money. The problem will arise in a few months once you find out that the camera has been discontinued and service and parts have become scarce and expensive... By the way STBR = "soon to be replaced"...

Received this camera used from another photographer in July 2007. Camera had been used to take a few images before me, but I was not concerned because the build quality of the 20d, 30d camera line is SOLID.
This camera takes pictures in low light much better than the 20d! Combined with spot metering makes this camera a must-have for the serious photographer. I have used this camera for indoor, outdoor activities and it has never disappointed me. I would highly recommend this camera to the up and coming photographer, or serious enthusiast.
At first I was not so excited about this camera but after shooting with it for a short time, I hardly ever pick up my 20d camera. Even though the sensor is the same size as the 20d (8.2 MP) the buffer size, slow and fast shutter speeds, larger monitor, spot metering MORE than make up the differences between the 20d and 30d.
Happy shooting!!

I consider myself an amateur/semi-pro photographer who uses my photo equipment for travel pics for the most part. I wanted to move from film (EOS-3 and EOS-1V) to D-SLR and have waited many years to do so. I could neither justify $4K or $8K for the two high-end cameras either for cost or use. Then the 5D came out and I seriously considered it because it was a true pro-level camera for photographers truly not in the business. And, it has a FF CMOS to boot--no FOVCF to deal with.
Then, Canon brought out the 30D and after doing the comparative homework, the quality is, for the most part, equal and sometimes better than the 5D. For those of us who are not in possession of 300mm+ lenses, the 1.6 FOVCF is super, except, of course, for ultra-wide FOVs.
But camera to camera, function to function, versatility to versatility, or any other category you might wish to compare, the 30D is a superlative camera and a photographer's dream. This camera is truly "WOW! to the MAX."
For those who think that having a pop-up flash should NEVER be on a pro level camera, think again! It's a true plus. With 5FPS for use at sporting events or other fast-moving venues vs. 3FPS for the 5D, this makes the 30D all the better.
So, the 30D along with the unbelievable EF-S10-22mm f/2.5-3.5 USM lens, the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, the EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS UMS, the EF100 f/2.8 macro USM, the Battery Grip BG-E2, the Speedlite 580EX along with the Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and/or the Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX, which is the total equipment I have in my bags, you can't do better.
Oh, I am sure Canon will soon come out with a 40D, but I can't imagine what they could add without moving to the 5D level-camera. In fact, we may soon see the demise of the SLR with less than a FF CMOS, so I advise that if you want the advantages of the 1.6 multiplier SLR, get this camera now. Don't wait; there's no reason to do so and at $1500 give or take, it's very inexpensive for what Canon gives us in return.
What I have not told you is that I purchased both the 30D and the 5D and returned the 5D--for the reasons I iterated above. And I don't regret it, even for a minute.
Nikon can't come close to this camera. There are far more Nikon to Canon convertees than Canon to Nikon and it's for cameras like the 30D that has caused this to occur. Friends of mine that were diehard Nikonites are now Canonites. And I am not aware of any of them who have regretted the move.

I wanted to upgrade from my 1st generation Digital Rebel, and debated for quite a while about which one to buy, so I visited a local electronics store to compare (and read every review I could find). They're both great cameras. The deciding factor for me was the ergonomics. The XTi is just too small. The grip is so small that my hand started cramping up within minutes of handling it. The 30D is solid. It feels great in your hands. And holy crap is it fast. You can shoot 5fps and the cache clears in a fraction of the time it takes the Rebel.
The Rebel really only has two advantages over the 30D. 10 megapixels, versus 8, and dust management. But for large prints, you really don't need much more than 6MP. The megapixel race is all hype. And photographers have been getting by for more than 100 years just being careful to keep their equipment free of dust. Dust filters are nice, but not completely necessary.
After using the 30D for a month, I'm very happy with my decision. And, by the way, if you're going to buy the kit, get the 28-135mm f/4-5.6 IS USM kit. It's a great lens, short of buying the 24-105mm f/4 L, and rarely comes off my camera.

I love my 30d. I'm a big Canon fan because you can make things as simple or as complicated as you like. You can shoot in fully automatic to fully manual and many steps in between. There is only one small thing that I don't like about it: the remote shutter control port. It is a 3 prong plug, so it is difficult to plug in and it is easy to bend the prongs out of place. That makes it difficult to assemble at 10pm right before a fireworks display. I previously owned a Rebel 2000 which has a standard single plug just like headphones would have.
Apart from that one small criticism, I love the creative flexibility the 30d offers, the nice LCD size, the rapid shutter speed, and the fact that I can use all of my old EF lenses!

Over the years as my paycheck as grown so has the cost of my cameras. I have had many digital cameras. Up to this point they have all been point and shoots. The last camera I purchased prior to the 30D was the Canon S2IS which is a great camera by the way. But the S2 just made me want a professional camera. One that I could control manually. I dug deep in my pockets and purchased the 30D with the kit 18-55mm lens and the kit 70-200mm telephoto lens. The camera is great. It is almost like a teaching tool in that it allows you to learn how to take professional photos and when you're in need of quick snapshots you can easily revert back to auto mode. The camera has more bells and whistles than I care to explain but if you're a novice photographer looking to make the next step I think this is a great camera. I've had the chance to shoot with some other more expensive lenses and now I know that the real money is in the lenses. I plan to have this camera body for many years. As I learn more about photography I'll invest in better lenses.

As the title says, if you can afford this, do it -- and this is coming from a Digital Rebel XT/EOS 350D owner.
I love digital cameras.
But I hate configuring them. For example, I've got a Sony T33 credit card camera that because of its small size, I've got to fiddle with the dumb menu. I'm farsighted, which means I need my glasses to see the menu, and ... arrgh.
I own the Digital Rebel XT/350D and like many things about it, but I have never liked having to play around with it to configure the manual settings. And that's a real drawback, because I think you'll find that once you own a DSLR like one of the Canons or Nikons then you won't be shooting "automatic" all that much. But searching through the menus and trying to puzzle out what combination of button presses sets the ISO to 1600 so you can get those fireworks shots just ain't no fun.
Get ahold of a 20D or 30D and spend 20 minutes with the manual, just once. The overall idea of the control layout will make you smile, and throw away the manual. Honest.
Of course, that's not the only benefit of the 30D. For one thing, PictureStyles makes more sense to ME, anyway, than does the more common approach to exposure presets. The significantly larger LCD makes reviewing shots actually possible on the LCD, and the bigger LCD means bigger text -- better for us farsighted guys. I do wildlife pictures and portraits where it's great to motor-drive 20 or 30 shots at a go, and the 30D supports that. And I grew up with hand-held spot metering, so its return in the 30D is wonderful.
However, if you ARE thinking of upgrading from a 350D, be aware of a few things. First, you've got to re-buy your wired and wireless remote controls at outrageous prices. All of the power stuff, including the AC adapter, your batteries, any battery chargers and the 350D's battery handle will require new purchases.
One more thing that is a bit annoying: despite the fact that Microsoft has announced that 32 bit's on the way out, the four included photo applications run badly or not at all on my copy of XP x64 edition. There are workarounds, of course, but it's blasted annoying.
Whether you stay with a current camera or upgrade, I wish you the best of luck with your digital photography. Even with the worst on-board menus, it still beats developing negatives in the closet!

Enough has been said about this camera. There's full in depth reviews about performance and specs, but one thing that never gets brought up is the LCD live view. I don't understand why canon's cheaper point and shoot cameras have the active LCD where you don't need to look through the viewfinder to shoot, but the 10d, 20d, and 30d all lack this feature which is probably the most convenient as it becomes more versatile when shooting in awkward positions, areas. Now, canon has finally given us the Live LCD with the 40d. Good job canon for taking 5 years to incorporate something that a cheap $100 point and shoot camera already has. This was a huge disappointment when i got my camera.

I got this camera in July 2007. I was intimidated by all the features and buttons, but if your a noobie to SLR cameras, buy the magic lantern companion book and the DVD. It only took me about a month to figure everything out. The 30D is pretty much all you will need for your photography needs. This camera is built like a tank (I would hate to get wacked in the head with it).I cannot think of any downsides to this camera except I wish it had a 3 inch screen and I wish it had an automatic sensor cleaner. (I know they don't work that good anyway).
The 30D takes compact flash cards (CF). It has a CMOS sensor.

I bought a 30D along with the 580ex flash. I have always bought Canon products (point-and-shoot, SLR film). I used this product for a couple of weeks and thought it did have some limitations. The biggest drawback was underexposed flash images in full auto mode. The most frustrating part was that they look great on the screen during review but, when you look at them on the computer, they are very underexposed. I know that this would not be a issue if I captured the images in RAW format. I however want to primarily shoot family pictures in JPEG and not edit every picture. I searched the web and saw that numerous people had the same problem and they changed to the program mode with a +3/4 to +1 exposure compensation. Outdoors, the full auto mode seemed to meter fine. I understand that most users of this type of camera would not have an issue with and enjoy customizing each setting but, I want my wife to be able to be able to pick the camera up and take a decently exposed flash picture of our two year old using full auto mode. I even exchanged the camera for another one and had the same issue. I used a Canon 24-105, Canon 17-85 IS and a Tamron 17-50/2.8 lens and had the same issue. I made a very tough decision to move over to the Nikon D200 with SB-800 flash. It takes very clear and accurate exposed pictures in full auto mode with the flash. The build quality is also a lot better. It does cost more though but, I think it's worth it. Bottom line though is that this camera takes great pictures outdoor and indoor with flash using exposure compensation. If you take mostly indoor family pictures like I do, the full auto mode is useless and you'll need to make corrections to the settings or with editing software.

I've had this camera for less than a year. I have to ship it out for repair for a fourth time tomorrow. The first three times it went out were for focus problems. This time Canon actually shipped it back to me broken. With a new problem, not even what I send it in for. Each time I send it in it's at least two weeks. They promised me this time a manager would look at it. They promised me that last time and it didn't seem to matter much. To me, it's an expensive piece of junk.

I have been a photo hobbiest for several years. I decided to get serious and began selling some of my work. I got such great review and have sold several prints. This prompted me to take an online photo class and buy the Canon 30D. The camera has every mode that a point and shoot camera has but, if you are serious about photography this camera provides you more options that you could ever ask for. I quickly relized that I could not cheat with the camera. I really had to know what I was doing if I was going to us the manual mode. Every day I learn something more and am so excited. I have to say that I did not even read the manual. The camera is very well laid out and if you are at all experienced with the Canon point and shoot cameras all of the controls will be familiar. I considered the new sony alpha, the new nikon, canon rebel and the olympus. Out of all the camera options the 30d just melted into my hand. THIS CAMERA IS COMFORTABLE! The grip and size of the camera is designed for long hours of use. It is a little on the heavy side compared to a lot of other cameras, but I totally forgot about the weight after one day of shooting. The 30D lives up to the Canon name and of all the camera options under $2500.00 this is the best.

I bought this camera just 4 days before the new 40D was released (oops!). It's ok though, as I'll eventually get the 40D and use the 30D as my backup. For now, the 30D is AMAZING. I've upgraded to the 30D from the Rebel XT and it has made a world of difference.... It's super fast and I really like having the option to shoot at ISO 3200... the bigger display is really nice and it's a good sized camera.
Love it!

I have owned this camera practically since it came out on the market, and at the time it looked like an expensive proposition, especially when compared to Nikon D50, Canon Rebel XT, or an used 20D. I am glad I got this one, however. No doubt, the other DSLRs take fine photos, and all have much lower noise and faster reaction time than a point-and-shoot. Here is what made the difference for me:
- Better controls: There are ergonomically placed buttons and scroll wheels to control just about everything you care about in this camera. Not so with the Rebels, which is what I upgraded from - changing ISO alone used to drive me nuts :)
- ISO 3200: Comes handy for poorly lit indoors shots, esp. with slow lenses; I only use external flash with my DSLR and I don't carry it with me most of the time, so high-ISO is a big deal. It is grainy but not as bad as the Nikons at high ISO.
Lenses:
The kit lens is not that bad, so get it if this is your first SLR. It is a very useful range, especially for travel and casual stuff. However, it is neither very wide for some indoors and architectural shots, nor fast enough for many flash-free low-light situations. You may want to look at the 10-22mm and 50mm lenses, respectively. I am currently looking for a faster one-piece replacement of the kit lens - the Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 looks like an option. If you have the money, do some research on what else Canon, Tamron, and Sigma offer in the 16-55 ranges.

Outstanding camera. Every bit as good as advertised. My son spent months reviewing this camera and he's very pleased with it.

I have played with alot of the SLR's and I like this one because it has the canon lenses to pick from as well as a good price and feature ratio even for a canon.
It's neither the best or the cheapest of the canons and for this reason I recommend it. The other SLR's start having trade offs for being best or cheapest because either features are compromised, as with the rebel, or the camera is extremely expensive with more resolution than most people need coupled with even larger camera bodies.
One draw back is the lack of weather sealing. That aside I have had very little to complain about. I have loved this camera and would take it over the 5d for general shooting because with 8 mega pixels at the quality this camera has I am left wishing for little in resolution. It is also smaller and lighter than the 5d. For anyone looking to shoot fast it also shoots faster than the 5d.
The larger screen makes this one a clear pick over the 20d, trust me, this is the way to go over the 5d and 20d unless you are really trying to blow images up huge, and I mean greater that 36x24. This camera will not disappoint.
