Canon's EOS 30D brings proven technology to a new level, giving you an brilliant photographic experience. Offering great image quality and overall durability, this addition to the EOS line incorporates a host of new features with Canon's highly acclaimed 8.2 MP sensor and DIGIC II processor. It includes enhanced features as a larger 2.5” LCD monitor, true spot metering, a durable new shutter mechanism and Canon's Picture Style feature.
The kit has an EF-S 18-55mm lens that provides amazing clarity at the mid-range with sharper edges. Low-noise autofocus comes fast and precise, and you can quickly change settings even on the fly, allowing you to adapt to any situation. This is a great camera for the serious photographer, easily equal in control and features to the film SLRs you’re used to. Take the shot!

8.2 Megapixel CMOS SensorCanon's large-area CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor provides the most-in-class pixels for images with exceptional clarity and tonal range. With the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, the APS-C size sensor (22.5 x 15.0mm) enables an effective viewing angle of 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. The EOS 30D's extensive ISO range (from 100 to 1600, plus ISO 3200 in extended mode) is selectable in 1/3-stop increments.
DIGIC II Image ProcessorThe Canon digital SLR-specific DIGIC II Image Processor enhances every aspect of image capture for images of exceptional quality. The onboard DIGIC II Image Processor ensures natural color reproduction, precise white balance in any lighting situation and unparalleled clarity. Consuming less energy, DIGIC II's sophisticated signal processing algorithms work at greater speeds. The entire processing chip - not just the software that drives it - is dedicated for a digital still camera.
2.5 inch Large LCDThe EOS 30D has a brilliant 2.5 inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels. Adopted from Canon's professional EOS SLRs, the LCD provides more information and greater viewing angles (170°) than many conventional units. The full-featured shot information screen can display the AF frame in use with an RGB histogram feature.
PictBridge SupportThe EOS 30D makes photograph printing easier than ever. Simply connect your EOS 30D to any PictBridge-compatible printer, select your image and print settings, and press the Direct Print button to start printing.
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interfaceConnect the EOS 30D to a computer with a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection; upload images at speeds up to ten times faster than with the original EOS Digital Rebel.
