Canon unvail sucessor to the 20D

Nice, was hoping for a jump in the MP to maybe 10 but the burst depth is a nice change, and I will be ordering one of these babies as soon as it hits the market.
 
I must admit I was expecting more, looks nice though and i wonder if there are any changes over the 20D that they havnt mentioned ...better auto focus would be nice.

The 30D is a good evolution upgrade from the 20D; ISO in the viewfinder, spot metering and a larger LCD are all things requested after the 20D.
 
ISO in the viewfinder is a good idea :D Maybe it'll cut down on those times where you forget you've left it on 800! :(
 
The only thing I can't help but feel is that it isn't as big a leap as 10D to 20D was, it seems more 20DmkII to me.
 
Not enough to make me consider an upgrade from the 20D. Only thing which would be nice to have is the spot meter, don't really care about the rest.
 
It isnt enough for any 20D user to consier if he was upgrading (replacing yes)

The large LCD is great, ISO notice, Spot metering, Improved body, soft push buttons.

Personally I wouldnt choose this over the 5D. I guess they are aimed at different people but me personally would pay the extra for a 5D.

It sure looks tempting but it'll cost around £800 and for that money I would rather have a 24-70L F2.8.

I suppose so, the build quality of EF-S so far hasn't been up to that of L.

However a 24-70 isn't going to be very wide on a 1.6 and no IS. Its a tough choice to make.
 
I'll definately be making the switch from 20D to 30D myself. spot metering and larger lcd make the sale for me. I got my 20D for a great price so the change isnt going to cost me very much.

wonder when they will be on the market?
 
The only thing the 30D attractive to me over the 20D is the Spot meter and not a lot else.....if the price difference is quite a bit i think the 20D is the obvious choice.
 
A little disappoiting really, think a Jump in MP's would have been really nice.. I mean a lot of people look at the MP's a a main consideration (whether right or wrong), still in the 8MP range is a mistake I think and wont entice people to upgrade.

Spot on Mr Beansprout. :D

And for those who can't wait, you CAN find the EOS 30d available to pre-order with an 18-55mm lens of some description, for a (not so)measly £1179.99.

I think I'll wait for a bit.
