Canon DSLR 30D

Doesn't it make you drool~~

Canon has recently announced the release of the 30D, a mild revolution of the 20D, headline changes are a subtly redesigned body, spot metering...selectable continuous shooting speed... 100,000 shutter cycle life...a larger LCD monitor and the expected switch from simple image parameters to Canon's preferred PictureStyles.

From an imaging pipeline point of view this camera has the same sensor and image processor and the default PictureStyle matches the EOS 20D's default image parameters (hence expect exactly the same imaging performance). Good news also comes in the form of a slightly lower price than the EOS 20D.

Yippie...this will be the next camera i will be aiming for...GOD bless that i will soon have anough money to do so~~so...anyone needs a wedding photographer??You can reach me at 012-2802535 or leave a msg here...sigh~life is tough
