30D...am I the only one?
- Thread starter morgan
- Start date
As others have said, I wouldnt get rid of my 20d for the 30d upgrade, i will however be getting a 30d as soon I can, ive placed a preorder at a UK based store offering them Body Only for £913... they have an expected stock date of 30/3/06
Ive seen places as low as £814 inc vat, but as ive never heard of them before I dont feel comfortable ordering from them.

And another, The only things on the 30D I'd like are the spot metering and getting rid of the stupid folder system. Not worth £500 to change though.SDK^ said:I second that
I just don't feel the 30D offers me any more than the 20D, it certainly won't improve my photography. The upgrade is probably going to cost about £500 and I'd rather put that towards a prime lens or some lighting gear.

Shuttle speed eh
I am at a loss, I will be able to afford the 30D quite soon but I want the Nikon d200 because it is so much more, I am at the moment using the nikon d70 (and also sometimes the d2x) with 80-200 f2.8 nikkor and 18-70 AFS plus the 55mm 1.8 macro manual nikkor and they are just all awesome, I am also really liking the system nikon have on the cameras and the wealth of options in the menus available, much more than the canons I have had and encountered. The d200 is also a small amount more than the 30D and I have lots of access to Nikon lenses & gear so would benefit from it but the only thing I like is Canons low noise on iso above 400 as I regularly shoot at 800iso or more when indoors - I guess this is a minor issue though.

I did a ninja edit and missed your post
Yeah 1D is a bit of a reach at the moment and for what I am doing right now and this year I don't feel the £1000 price increase over sya a d200 or bit more if 30D were to be would be justified.
I can say one thing though, you cannot beat nikkor glass, I now know why they are so expensive and having access to them means I would benefit from the d200 - ALso someone else here has the d200 don't they ?
