The EOS30 shoots film, and I haven't shot a roll in almost 2 years.

Possibly in a few weeks time, it'll be either a Wednesday or Thursday.

Then I can convert to you the Darkside Nikon boy

Not if I batter you over the head with my D200 first :cool:

Oh the best bit, I got the camera for £664.15, and I still yet to claim the £100 cash back from Canon yet.

Same reason digital camera's advantages of film cameras basically. Instant review, no more developing cost (most of us have PC/Mac) are the main ones.

the EOS 30 is an SLR (Film) the 30D is a DSLR (Digital)

Saying that I want a film EOS SLR to play with

EDIT:
Oh and congrats

Maybe I would have been better asking, what makes SLR better than non SLR.

In general the SLRs have interchangable lenses giving a higher quality picture, also what you se in the viewfinder is what you get as the captured image (unlike the rangefinder images (not a difference with digital point and shoot)

this would give a reasonable explanation

Oh, don't i look silly

Night and day really.
DSLRs are far superior when it comes to image capture.

Larger sensor and pixels means photos are much better quality.
Photos contain much less noise/grain, especially at high ISO
Much more control over depth of field (in/out of focus parts of the image)
Faster focus, faster interfaces, faster everything
Inter-changeable lenses - Use lenses specifically for the field/subject you're photographing.
+ loads more………..
