Canon EOS D30

Canon EOS-D30 Review

Long awaited. Canon first revealed the EOS-D30 at PMA this year (with a "tentative launch of Fall 2000"), they then later made it official and published full specifications and we got our first hands on with the D30, though at that stage Canon weren't...

Great resolution, clean, noise-free images (even at high ISO / long exposures) Noise reduction algorithm works well Good range of sensitivities (100 - 1600) Smooth gradients, little or no edge aberration effects (no over-sharpening) Fast reaction, good...

Images may seem a little "soft" to some users, increasing sharpness setting on the camera improves things and there's actually no less detail in a D30 image than any other 3 megapixel Opening the CF door shuts the camera down, loses any buffered images...

Canon really did made life difficult for themselves, they knew full well that they would be judged on success of the D30, they know how important the digital photography market has become and how a camera like the D30 could affect their reputation.

Canon EOS D30 Review Round-Up

The D30 is a highly durable camera constructed from polycarbonate material on the outside with a steel inner frame. It is more compact and a good deal lighter than the D1 but its burst rate is only 3fps up to a maximum of 8 frames. The D30 offers more...

Expert Review

The Canon EOS D30 digital SLR is one of those products that are labeled by technology pundits as an â€œinflection pointâ€�. I believe with the hindsight of history it will likely be seen as having pointed the camera industry in a new direction. Last...

The Canon EOS D30 Digital SLR

When they first arrived on the scene digital SLRs were well beyond the means of all but the well heeled.

Canon EOS D30 Delivers SLR Excellence at Bargain Price

Have you been pining for a digital SLR but been too chicken to sell your car or house to finance a new camera? Canon has been thinking about you. One of the most eagerly anticipated cameras of last year, the Canon EOS D30 targets digital photographers...

Just read Ben Long's report on the D30. I own one and am in agreement with much of what he writes. He, however, misses a major bit of controversy concerning the slow work flow when raw images, as well as the software itself and lack of third party...

Expert review by : Ken Rockwell (kenrockwell.com)

This camera is swell if you find a great deal on a used one for less ten $500, but with the far superior new 10D selling at $1,500 and superior Digital Rebel selling new for $900 I'm unsure what purpose the D30 serves today.
