Flash
The 30D includes a pop-up flash, a feature most 20D users are happy to have, if only for a little fill flash. The 30D also accepts Canon's extensive line of EX flashes. Fortunately for long-time Canon users, the EX flash system has excellent compatibility with old EX equipment. Those flashes retain their capabilities when mounted on new Canon cameras such as the 30D.

The pop-up flash on the 30D covers lenses as wide as 17mm. Canon rates it with a Guide number of 43 for feet at ISO 100, meaning it should reach about 11 feet at f/ 4 at ISO 100. Look for
our full review to see how it does in our tests.
Lens
The 30D accepts both Canon's exhaustive line of EF lenses and the lower-priced EF-S series, which also mount on the Rebel XT and 20D, but not on the 5D or the 1D series cameras.
The 18 to 55 mm f/ 3.5-5.6 zoom is a standard kit lens with the 30D. It adds $100 to the list price. In previous reviews, we found that the lens was sharp, though we noticed color fringing. The lens is not very tough, and a maximum aperture of f/ 5.6 is pretty dim. Better lenses will show the 30D's potential much more clearly.
