30D vs. 20D? Are the differences worth another purchase?

bysuemccartin Jul 1, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode, iso 3200, improved white logic
Cons Pricey? Not a huge upgrade over a 20D
Recommended it? Yes

My first canon dslr was the original Rebel also known as the 300D, for its time and considering what that camera cost, it was competent but it can't hold a candle to a 20D and even less so to a 30D. I shoot a lot of karate for my school, the 300D Rebel only has 3 fps which just isn't enough for... Read full review »

Pros Many features and very low noise, APS-sized CMOS gives best result with reasonable priced...
Cons viewfinder a bit dark, 8 million pixels and APS-sized cmos is insufficient for...

Having used a 300D and a 10D, i hesitated a lot before getting hands on this camera.

Improvements are not so important: the good things of the 20D are still there: very good image quality with its... Read full review »

Good DSLR for a beginner

bymixey62 Oct 23, 2011
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros good for beginnersgood price for DSLR
Cons battery life in liveview
Recommended it? Yes

I have always envied those that could take amazing photographs; observing these people has led me to the same observation: they use DSLR cameras instead of the easier to use point-and-shoot varieties. I was always intimidated by these cameras so never thought that one was for me-- that was until I... Read full review »

Pros Everything!
Cons A little heavy and bulky. 
Recommended it? Yes

I just bought this camera for my hobby and I'm amazed by this. The quality is amazing and you have many features to make your photos even better. (Changing color, light settings, color balance, even a fun fish eye effect!) The screen is big enough to see details of your camera and the buttons are... Read full review »
