This SLR is dated by today's standards but still a solid choice. Great price point at about 10% of the new value. Very clean examples appear occasionally. The 30D is a mid range SLR and has many professional features. It requires a little education to begin to use all that it is capable of but you can grow into the features. Of course you can always leave it on Auto. At 8 megapixels it has plenty of resolution to make 8.5 x 11 prints.

We bought this for my son, who is taking his first photography class. He absolutely loves it. This is a much nicer camera, even as old as it is, than many of the newer cameras some of the other students in his class have that are brand new. This camera does so much more, and is perfect for any photography class or projects that require a digital DSLR camera. Because it takes the old style memory cards, we bought a card reader for about $15 so we can still use the old memory cards and still put them on the computer with no problems. I can't say enough great things about the product, the awesome deal, and the seller. All amazing!

This is my 3rd Canon, I still use all 3 for different situations.....frankly, the 30D is my favorite for ease of use over the 5D and 7D......you will pay alot more for the newer Canon versions, while a used 30D can be had for peanuts.......if you don't have high end professional needs, don't blow alot of coin until you learn on the "lesser" 30D and you will save enough to buy a great lens, which is more important with respect to equipment.....get a lens with image stabilization, a tripod and consume the manual.....there are some great online training programs that you should use to bring it all together.....'nuf said.

Hi Folks, I wanted a Canon 30D years ago when it was Canon's 'main line' camera.But to be very honest my budget just would not allow it. As years went by Canon produced several other DSLR's all great with the usual Canon quality,and stopped making the 30D. For me however, I was always impressed with the 'user-friendliness' of the 30D even though it was considered a 'near PRO-level camera'. And after having read literally hundreds of reviews I NEVER gave-in to the HUGE mega-pixel fixation. I learned that other things like the PROCESSOR-and - THE LENSES are equally important. The 30D has 8.2 megapixels, but as a result of Canon's superb CMOS processor the photos are vibrant, crisp and wonderfully 'life like'. And, speaking of lenses, when I bought the camera I invested in a Canon 50mm 1.8..or as folks call it..a nifty fifty. The lens was incredibly cheap..under $100 and takes just fantastic photos !!! Also, not being AF..YOU have to move around the subject and find the best composure angle. I think that helps makes one a better photographer. I am strictly an amateur..but the 30D has taught me so much about photography with all of the available features of the camera.,which incidentally you can access via the INCREDIBLY SIMPLE MENU.. that you can reach via the Scrolling Wheel on the back. Its' Wonderful. Don't get me wrong there are dozens and dozens of fine cameras out there., but for me the 30D with it's combination of user-friendliness,professional build quality and Canon reputation just made it the one for me. I just LOVE IT.Read full review
I love this Canon 30D. I bought it used and haven't had a single issue. It came in excellent condition and I got a fair price on it as well. Its perfect for me and what I'm doing. Its a larger sized camera, so its perfect for my large hands. The Canon Rebel series, are a great camera, but way to small for me. I even bought a battery grip for the Rebel and it was still a little to small. And since its a smaller size, the buttons are small and close together. The 30D is an excellent camera with tons of features. I love the 2.5" LCD screen and the top LCD display. Also, the turn-style dial, makes for easy, fast viewing of already taken shots and scrolling thru the menus quickly. I also bought a battery grip for this camera. Highly recommended, especially if you are out and away all day. It holds 2 battery packs. All in all, a great camera and purchase, here on eBay. Have fun bargain shopping out there, I do. -nbry9818Read full review
