...and it's more of a refinement than a new camera. Prob not worth the upgrade if you already have a 20D, but the refinements will make it a very nice camera. http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-7891-8214 Cheers Rusty http://www.pixelpix.com.au what about the new 85 f1.2! mmmmmm  Signatureunners > what about the new 85 f1.2! mmmmmm Yes that does look nice! ....I wonder if I will have any change from my 1Ds2?? :-) > what about the new 85 f1.2! mmmmmm Now that's more like it!! ps - I guess the 30D is just the warm up act to roll out a 3D At last...ISO in the viewfinder !!!!

In the past few weeks I have been anxiously waiting for the 20D Replacement and thought that Canon would have an answer to Nikons D200. Between the two cameras, the Nikon is a much more superior camera at very little extra cost. If the 30D retails passes the $2K mark when released here in Australia, I think that Canon Sales on the new camera will be dissapointing. They should have made at least one of the following changes to the new model.. 10 Megapixel Faster Frame per second and a larger size buffer memory CCD cleaning mechanism 1.5 or less crop factor I compliment Canon for the Spot metering which should be on all Canon Cameras. Nikon has Spot on even their basic models. The longer battery life is also a welome feature with the 30D. However, I have now lost interest in this new model and will only consider buying one if they are priced a far bit less than the current 20D. Regards > Hi Rusty > > I tend to agree with you.

If you read RobGalbraith's review of the 30D (http://www.robgalbraith.com) you will see.... "Don't take this as a recommendation of the D200 over the 30D. For one, we've only used a preproduction 30D, and then only briefly. More importantly, we've shot the D200 and 20D side-by-side for available light basketball over several weekends this winter, and the 20D is by far the better camera for this purpose. Not only were the ISO 800 through ISO 3200 frames massively cleaner and more usable, the percentage of in-focus frames was signficantly higher. In fact, we've ruled out using the D200 for this sort of assigment again. So, we don't think Nikon has in the D200 a camera that's a clear winner over the upcoming 30D by any means." Group the noise, AF and well reported banding issue together and the D200 starts to look a bit dodgy IMO. I think many are ticked that it's not 10mp, but I wonder if they realise just how little a difference that really makes?? > If the 30D retails passes the $2K mark when released here in Australia, > I think that Canon Sales on the new camera will be dissapointing.

As for the buffer, they did increase that quite substantially. > CCD cleaning mechanism Would be nice, but I think a better system than those "shake the sh.t out" mechanisms is required and perhaps more R&D time is needed on those. > 1.5 or less crop factor 1DMk2 territory again > I compliment Canon for the Spot metering which should be on all Canon > Cameras.

If I was about to buy a 20D, I would hold off and wait for the 30D, as the tweaks that have been made will make a huge difference in usability IMO. So much so, if I wasn't about to retire my 20D to backup status, I would update to the 30D myself. Cheers Rusty http://www.pixelpix.com.au saw it yesterday.... 30D body rrp$2399 they were taking pre- orders at $2099 Fletchers - Doncaster... at the pines shopping center not sure about with lens I'm just waiting confirmation of a 'sub2k' price for a multiple purchase, so your price for a single item is great too.
