Canon EOS 30D First Impressions Review

Value
The 30D, like the 20D, is an 8 megapixel, 5-frame-per-second DSLR that mounts one of the finest selections of lenses available. It's capable of producing excellent color, and is quick and easy to use. It's built to be durable. At $1399, it's a very capable camera.

We had expected more improvements, but that disappointment really doesn't detract from the camera's value – we don't think there is a better way to spend $1400 on a DSLR body.
