A very responsive an easy to use camera is one of its top features. I really like the picture quality and it is very hard to beat by any other camera in its class.A very well made and sophisticated camera.

Beautiful performance

Summary

I liked the fact that it has a 2.5 inch lcd screen which is more than enough to view clicked photos comfortably. Canon has lived up to its expectations and i would advise amateurs and enthusiasts to buy this camera if they are looking for a great one.

What are the strengths?
I am wondering where to start from. For starters it shoots beautifully in low light conditions. And i do mean beautiful. I was so delighted when i saw the snaps i clicked on my last pool party. The camera has an amazing look specially since it is black in color.
What are the weaknesses?
Nothing

Summary

The 30D Black does not look attractive, but ofcourse that is not what cameras are for!! It works really good, gives great pictures and shoots great images in low light situations too. It is slightly expensive, but it gives total value for money.

works really well in less light. The LCD Screen is also really good. The zoom is good enough too.
What are the weaknesses?
The black body tends is vulnerable to scratches. Slightly on the higher side of my budget but fine enough.

Whoa.. excellence par imagination

Summary

The picture quality is unquestionable, shooting speed is fast and furious, and the viewfinder is flawless. 8.2 mega-pixel is nothing to joke about. It captures what a naked eye may miss. Its sleek, easy to handle, black as night, and shoots wonderful. It has detailed but simple controls which can be easily used by novices too. Its one camera I am going to treasure for life and carry along to all those bonfire camps I go to.

Which similar products have you used?

Yashica

How long have you used the product?

What are the strengths?
Too many to list. It shoots beautifully in less light, twilight, darkness. It has maintained its standard in all the lights I have subjected it too.
What are the weaknesses?
The flash is a little obtrusive while clicking pictures sometimes.

Älskar min 30D

Sammanfattningsvis

Jag blev rekommenderad denna kamera av fotografer på Reuters, där jag jobbade. Även om den inte har lika många funktioner som t ex 5D så är betydligt mer prisvärd. Viktigt att komma ihåg är att val av objektiv är huvudsaken!

Hur länge har du haft produkten?

Mer än 3 månader
