Older but excellent, like a good wine 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. And with 2000 shots on a memory card, who cares. Just be ready to wait a while when you go to download it. This camera can do ISO 3200 so you can take noisy pictures in complete dark, sometimes...

Bought late in its product life but still a great DSLR 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. I spent more on the lens than a body and haven't regretted that decision yet. I think the 30D is a great body to learn on. Sure it doesn't have the live view that the 40D. I having researched/played with the 40D much to determine if the live view is good enough to show what you will actually have when you trigger the shutter.

Perfect upgrade from 300D (Digital Rebel) I resisted the urge to upgrade to the 20D from the 300D (Digital Rebel) but couldn't resist the 30D. I have used the 300D for weddings before and found that I was often waiting for the buffer to clear - even when shooting jpegs.
3 huge advantages of the 30D are:
1 - no worries shooting at ISO 800 - even 3200 is usable, (the 300D is ordinary above 400)
2 - 5 frames/sec (the 300D only has a 4 pic buffer @ 2.5 frames/sec, so rapid shooting with it is almost a non-event)
3 ...

Is the switch worth it? There are probably many people out there who are thinking about buying this camera to upgrade. If you own a 10D then the choice is pretty easy, as you get extra MP plus new features. However, what if you own the XT, is this a worthwhile upgrade? The answer is that it depends if you need the new features. Based on my personal experience, however, the answer is a resonating yes!
Also, if you are trying to decide between buying the XT or the 20D, take a look at the 30D. The 30D offers a ...
