By Lori Grunin on 27/02/2006

More Canon reviews , RRP: AU$2299.00

The good:

  • Excellent low-light performance
  • Fast and responsive
  • Straightforward controls
  • Nice balance of features for both experienced and rookie photographers

The bad:

  • Pop-up flash casts shadow with some lenses
  • Viewfinder provides only 95 percent view
  • Average battery life
  • 1.6X lens-conversion factor

The bottomline:

The 8-megapixel Canon EOS 30D should be on your short list for a semipro dSLR camera.
