There is always a tangible air of excitement when Canon introduce a new model. What has been changed this time? The conclusion is summarized below:

“Compared to its predecessor, the EOS 20D, there haven’t been all too many changes, which means the quality of the Canon EOS 30D does not come as much of a surprise; it is still extremely high, just as it has always been. Canon manage to get the full effect out of the CMOS sensor, which is partly due to their DIGIC II processor. The fact that the Canon EOS 30D has a “mere” eight Megapixels and not (more than) ten Megapixels, such as on the Nikon D200, should not directly be seen as a disadvantage. Especially as far as noise is concerned, the Canon EOS 30D easily outdoes the D200. Furthermore, there isn’t really that much of a difference in the final image size. If we start from 300dpi, the Canon EOS 30D DSLR produces a photo of 29.7 x 19.8cm, whereas the Nikon D200 manages 32.8 x 22cm. This is a relatively small difference. Think about it, when it really comes down to it, don’t we ultimately prefer less pixels if they are of an excellent quality, than a lot of pixels that are of a noticeably lesser quality? By this we mainly refer to the signal/noise ratio per pixel. The Canon EOS 30D enables you to use ISO 800 or ISO 1600 without any hindrance. Even ISO 3200 can still be used for many applications. This is truly an outstanding performance. We are very positive about the Picture Styles. It is a very intuitive way of handling the image settings. You can adjust the photo entirely to your own taste.”
