I bought this camera refurbished and have been quite happy with its overall performance. It compares to the 40D, but with less resolution. Does well when looking at the http://www.dxomark.com/ testing when compared to the Canon XXD series. I have shot rough 4000 clicks without a hitch.

I've had this camera for a few years, bought mine in Hong Kong before you could get them in the US. It's never let me down. I put a much faster 8Gig memory card in it and discovered it could take pictures at 5 per second for ever providing you don't mind waiting 20 seconds for it to catchup when you stop.

I bought this body a little bit after the 40D was released. The 30D is my first DSLR. I did the research and I took other people's advice.

It is a very good camera, very fast and clear; really miss the information on the display, I have also a XTi and I miss the quick information for the camera showed in the LCD display, in the 30D we spend more time to get all the informations;

This is my first DSLR and i can't say enough great things about it. I won't get into the technical details, it's all right there at the Canon website.

I'll be Frank, the Canon EOS 30d is a masterpiece of machinery. I have had the camera for about four months, and i have next to no complaints.

. started very early. The bottom line is the Canon 30D has excellent build quality, superb low light performance, excellent features and most of all superb picture quality in both ideal and non ideal lighting.
I shot a lot of low light pictures and compared the Nikon 80, the Canon 30D and 40D and to my eyes, the Canon 30D simply rendered the sharpest, most noise free images in lower light levels.

This is great bang for your buck. When I bought my first dslr, the XT, new, it cost the same as the 30D does now. I'm very happy with the improved controls of the 30D over the XT as well as better high iso performance and 5 fps...

This was my second dslr and I loved it when I owned it. I have a 5D and a 40D now.
from Amazon.com
People can show off their Rebel tsi and say it has 12 megapixels, but you can show off your 30d and say, "mine's not cheap plastic." This camera is perfect for a semi-pro, student, or just about anyone who can afford it. I warn you not to buy it from DBROTH though.
