Review summary: Canon's 8.2-Megapixel (3504x2336 pixels) EOS 30D is pitched as a semi-pro digital SLR (DSLR), but it's more than capable for most photographer's need. A mild evolution of the EOS 20D, the camera sports a subtly redesigned body ...

Verdict: The EOS-30D offers pro handling and excellent quality. It's a great step-up from entry-level digital SLRs, but only a modest upgrade from the EOS-20D.
