This version of Canon's semi-pro or pro-sumer camera is really great. HOWEVER THE LIST PRICE IS COMPLETELY WRONG, the camera was originally priced around $1100 NEW, in 2006-2007. Don't pay anything more than $700 for one NEW, or $400 for USED. I have been in photography since 2004 and camera retail since 2007, trust me on this one.

I use the 20D and have for the last 5 years, same model, same camera, and it rocks. The 30D has a more user friendly firmware and a much, much bigger LCD, which I would like to have.

Purchased this as a back-up for my 40D when I need two cameras for a shoot. The preview screen isn't quite as big and it has a few less minor features, but I think it's more reliable than my 40D - it doesn't have issues in cold weather, for example. I highly recommend this camera if you are getting into the DSR thing and want a nice, sturdy camera.

This item was listed as used and was the lowest listed price. When I received the shipment, everything was in it's original packaging and everything was included - manual, warranty, etc. I was blown away by what great shape the camera was in. It was either still brand new or used very little. No scratches, marks, or anything! I was very happy with the purchase.
Oh yeah and it takes beautiful pictures!

I'm new to photography, but my friend who recommended this camera is a veteran (so to speak). This camera is wonderful! It does everything I wanted.
Great Camera

Very intuitive. You can go total auto or manual or somewhere in between. Pictures are very good, but I have only scratched the surface of this camera's capabilities. A good camera for the beginner to slr's.
