The D30 NOT 30D will only appeal to users who appreciate its subtle qualities. ! It is ONLY 3.2 MP...BUT it produces noise free Film like files that have a the quality of 35 mm negative scans.The colour rendition is very realistic. It is very well built ( Canons FIRST 100% DSLR ).It has a latch mechanism that allows older SIGMA lenses to be used without "error 99". IT is slow, it does have auto focus problems in low light. BUT it is a Photographers camera 100%.The D60 also has these features but the files are obviously "digital ".In fact I sold a D60 for this reason. The D30 is a very minority taste camera.
I brought this camera as I was going on holiday and planned to do some diving. I looked at all the reviews of simular products, and it came down to a choice of 2. The other being the Olympus TG3. I eventually decided on the Canon because it can be taken to a greater depth than the Olympus. Very basic instructions included, full instructions have to be downloaded. Pictures were pretty good on first try, but was not sure whether I had correct settings. Takes fantastic pictures on dry land. Simple to use, and great size. Quite heavy compared to a normal compact, but I assume that is insolation. I had a camera in a casing before, and found I had no idea what the camera was pointing at. The canon screen takes away that problem, but do set it to full brightness while under water. According to reviews the Olympus has better picture quality, and faster shutter speed.Read full review
I had an eos D30 for many years but unfortunately it was stolen and replaced with an upgraded version. However, having owned it for many years I missed it and decided that I would like a D30 once again, so bought this one. My original cost in excess of £1000, so this was a real bargain. It's in great condition and I am delighted to have it in my bag once again.
