Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / March 2006Got my 30D today
Now I have to RTFM to see the differences between my new purchase and my 10D. My initial feeling is good, I like the almost instant on, the 5fps shooting is almost scary just thinking at the number of shots to look at after the button has been pressed. The bigger screen is really beneficial to my failing close up vision. Happy camper ;-) Jean So you are saying you didn't check before you gave someone your money?? Personally I would recommend checking first. > Now I have to RTFM to see the differences between my new purchase and my > 10D.

She is going to check the manual to see what is different in her new 30D compared to her 10D, I would have had a check of what was different before I bought it, do you think that would have been a good idea? >>> So you are saying you didn't check before you gave someone your money?? >>> Personally I would recommend checking first. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > what was different before I bought it, do you think that would have been a > good idea? 5fps intead of 3. 8m2mp instead of 6. ettl II instead of ettl. digic II processor may be the same or 10D had the digic 1. Faster write time. usb2.0. more continuous shooting before stopping. spot metering. 100,000 frame instead of 50,000. faster start up time. battery lasts longer. What you should really have done is see the difference between 20D and 30D and see whether the price dif was worth it. As far as i know the startup time is a fraction of a second faster. 100,000 instead of 50,000 rated shutter. 5fps is same. no of continous shots is higher for 30D. spot metering as well as 5% centre area. just 5% on 20D and 10% meter area. The difference between 20D and 30D are so marginal only the maddest of sports shooting users will need the difference. I don't know if the two will stay on the market together. > >> So you are saying you didn't check before you gave someone your money?? > >> Personally I would recommend checking first.

[quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Jean 1. Des excuses pour la confusion nommée, vous avez signalé en anglais mais juste au cas où svp contrôle encore . ;-) 2. Thats not what you said in the OP, you said that you were now going to see what was different. 3. Of course. 4. As you would expect. 5. Please re-read my post, I was being sarcasmic!! > >> >> So you are saying you didn't check before you gave someone your > >> >> money?? [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > 1.

Chalk that up to different languages, french brain writing in english. What I meant was differences in operation, menus, programmable features etc, NOT specifications. Jean Sarcasm is an art, maybe you should read up on THAT ;-) >> > Jean >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Traduction par google ou bablefish? pas fort...

Great, it's a worthy upgrade to a 10D (like my old camera) or a 300D. Used it yesterday and so far I am very pleased.
