User Reviews for Canon EOS 30D SLR Digital Camera w/ 18-55mm Lens Kit (8.2MP, 3504x2336, CompactFlash)

    Duration of ownership: 4 Months

    Strengths: fast start up. spot meter, size and build, big screen ease of use

    Weaknesses: not full frame but i know that before i got it

    Overall Evaluation: I had this camera for about 4 months now. My first digital camera never even had a p+s digital camera. Coming from using canon A2E for the last six year this camera is easy to use. I love it only thing is now i'm going broke buying canon L series lens

    Duration of ownership: 1 Year

    Strengths: Relatively easy to learn. Magnesium body stands up to occasional knocks. ISO 3200 gives execellent results. Busrt mode is great.

    Weaknesses: On camera flash is useless with kit lenses.

    Overall Evaluation: I switched from film a year ago when my Minolta XR700 died. I shoot a lot of kids hockey in poor light. This camera has been excelent, but when I swopped the kit lens for the EF 70-200 mm f2.8 lens, wow! I use the lens for portraits because I don't need the flash, and when I want to use the flash, it works great. I probably have over 10,000 shots on this camera, and I love it.
