Picture Quality / Size Options
The 30D records RAW files and JPEGs at two quality levels. JEPGs can be shot at Large, Medium and Small sizes. The sizes are: Large/Fine, about 3.6 MB (3,504 x 2,336 pixels); Large/Normal, about 1.8 MB (3,504 x 2,336 pixels); Medium/Fine, about 2.2 MB (2,544 x 1,696 pixels); Medium/Normal, about 1.1 MB (2,544 x 1,696 pixels); Small/Fine, about 1.2 MB (1,728 x 1,152 pixels); and Small/Normal, about 0.6 MB (1,728 x 1,152 pixels). The 30D's RAW files are about 8.7 MB (3,504 x 2,336 pixels). These options are the same as the 20D.

Picture Effects Mode
The 30D includes Canon's powerful, convenient Picture Styles system, which also appears on the 5D and the 1D series camera. It includes 5 presets called Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral and Faithful. Each has a separate setting for 4 parameter settings – Sharpening, Saturation, Contrast and Color Tone. Each preset can be adjusted, the user can save two custom presets and more presets are downloadable. In our full review of the camera, we will look into the styles and how to use them.

    Nikon D5100

    The D5100 is the latest entry-level DSLR from Nikon, with full 1080/30p video, an articulated LCD, and the same image sensor as the D7000. It lacks an internal focus motor, but we found it produced some of the most accurate colors we've seen yet. Read full 7-part review
