 Canon EOS 30D preview at DigIT : Our friend and DIWA member Kai Thon from the Norwegian website DigIT.no has published an extensive preview of the new Canon EOS 30 DSLR camera. The new Canon 30D Digital SLR takes professional photographers closer to the upper reaches of Canon's pro digital SLR line, incorporating input from users and features and innovations from the Canon EOS 5D and even the EOS-1D Mark II N Digital SLRs. The 8.2 Megapixel Canon EOS 30D offers a rugged new shutter fully rated up to 100,000 cycles; a brilliant 2.5-inch, 230,000-pixel LCD monitor (that yields a 92 percent increase in viewing area compared with the EOS 20D model's 1.8 -inch monitor); and a new spot metering capability.

 Canon 30D - LCD display and Buffer
According to Kai Thon: "The LCD screen is not only larger (now 2.5 inch diagonally), it also has higher resolution (230,000 pixels) and considerably wider viewing angle. The buffer memory is expanded to hold 11 RAW images or 30 images in JPEG Large Fine quality, there is now a choice between high-speed and slow burst shooting, the shutter is more durable (garanteed to a minimum of 100,000 exposures), the spot meter is more condensed with 3.5% metering area (the same as Canon EOS 5D), plus that the ISO values are displayed inside the viewfinder during setting."
Canon EOS 30D dSLR - Operation and Construction
Kai continues: "When the power is switched on, the EOS 30D is immediately ready for action. The dual-function buttons on the camera top also require some adoption. One function is set with the dial on top of the grip, the other with the large quick-dial on the back. Any EOS-experienced photographer will recognize the procedure and praise the dials as classic Canon features. If you have experience with other EOS models, the EOS 30D will feel like an old friend. The assumption that the camera body is robust, was experienced first hand in Orlando. The LCD screen is considerably larger on the EOS 30D than the EOS 20D, a most welcome improvement during image control and menu navigation."
