Reasons why I bought the Canon 30D
A few weeks ago, when the 30D was announced, I posted that I was
disappointed with the 30D. The reason for this disappointment was that I was expecting a 10+MP camera. I own a 10D so was expecting an increase from 6MP to 10MP...a worthwhile improvement to justify the purchase of a new camera. And, at the time, I wasn't too interested in the other features that the 30D had. Well, I just back from a trip to South America last month having used my 10D and I realised that I needed a camera with a very fast turn-on time. I missed a lot of action-shots of glaciers collapsing. So, I when I got back from my trip, I went ahead and bought the 30D. The improvement in turn-on time, the improvement in writing speed, high-speed shooting mode and implementation of spot-metering over my 10D was dramatic...I was very pleased with my 30D purchase. No regrets. And of course I can now use the internal flash without my lenses casting a shadow! What to do with my 10D? It's still a very good camera and is more than adequate for 90% of the types of photos that I take. It's got a few scratches and dents but it works fine (even when soaked in the rain for 6 hours!). -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu Website : www.metalvortex.com Contact : www.metalvortex.com/form/form.htm "It ain't Coca Cola, it's rice", Straight to Hell - The Clash |

For what you get for it 2nd hand you couldn't buy a rebel XT. The extra handling features of the 10D far outweigh anything else. |
