Canon announces EOS 30D

February 26, 2006 by J. Angelo Racoma

Canon, my favorite camera manufacturer, announces yet another new digital SLR to add to its lineup. The EOS 30D replaces the EOS 20D popular among professional and higher-end amateur photographers. Featuring the DIGIC II image processor, image capture and processing is done at lightning speeds. The 30D houses an 8.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor in the APS-C size, meaning clearer images and none of the noise, aberrations, and other optical problems associated with small-size sensors.

Some differences from its predecessor, the 20D, include a larger LCD size, more rugged body design, a new spot-metering capability, and a larger, brighter LCD.

Some highlights:

  • 8.2 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor
  • 5 fps and 30 large JPEG frame burst
  • 2.5â€?, 230K pixel, 170º wide viewing angle LCD screen
  • Picture Style image processing parameters
  • Spot metering and High Precision 9-point AF system
  • DIGIC II image processor with 0.15 sec start-up time
  • Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software
  • 100,000 cycle shutter durability and rugged magnesium alloy body
  • Simultaneous RAW and JPEG recording
  • Wide 100-3200 ISO range
  • E-TTL II Flash
  • PictBridge compatibility
  • Complete compatibility with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites
  • USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and Video Out connectivity
