Canon EOS 30D DSLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens (OLD MODEL)

This is a fine unit for the price. I have been into photo gear since the 60's so have seen the fads come and go, got a dimage -7 that is a door stop compared to this that was 1400.00 when new. This is a great unit for novice to semi-pro. wow's the people I show pictures taken with it. If you don't have the $$$ yet to get this camera, save up till you do! More tech stuff to add after a month of use to be un-biased...WEll it is 4000 photos later and 5k in new lenes and this camera rocks. It took me , an old school guy to understad the crop factor so I had some problems getting right lenes but all is well now. the unit has not missed a shot! mind that the bad ones were my fault. I added a battery grip to help balance the weight of the heavy, long "l" lenes and it is a must! the 24-70 is great , as is the 1.2 50mm but it is like 80mm due to crop factor. if you need a close to 50mm get a 35mm. battery life is super long. I added a 580 II flash and a bracket to get it over lens at more height and it is also a great item. the 40d looks interesting as it has a sensor clearer, I have had to clean it a few times, no big deal but check it before important shoot. I ramble , but it is so nice to have a camera that prints 13"x9" that look like film! I also use a pixma pro 9000 and lover it "big monster".I will do a review of all the lenes soon as I went nuts and have 7 so far...but I love that 50mm f1.2 in low light and the 100-400 IS zoom with a 2x II converter is awesom for sports, moon , ect. one last note for todat, I tried a non canon flash and flash cord to save $$ and they are junk. the cord got locked onto the shoe and took me 2 hours to get it off, destroyed. flash died in 30 shotsback soon....tavegas

Christmas Present for my son, he loves it! He's still learning the camera but he's taken some fantastic photos with it and it's easy to use. It arrived quickly. The only minor issue is we have an extra battery but it won't charge.

Good in the day. Not inside or for sports. It's a pro-sumer body. Any iso over 1200 and you've got some serious noise problems.

Very pleased with this purchase. My Canon Rebel was stolen, but now I'm back with my 30D. Same lens I had before, love the feel and weight of the camera. Buying more accessories to complete my kit.

I currently have the camera in the canon service center. It appears to have dust internally but it cannot be cleaned by the customer. I am awaiting the full story from the service center.

Didn't realize that a CF card was NOT included.

I've had this camera for less than a year. I have to ship it out for repair for a fourth time tomorrow. The first three times it went out were for focus problems. This time Canon actually shipped it back to me broken. With a new problem, not even what I send it in for. Each time I send it in it's at least two weeks. They promised me this time a manager would look at it. They promised me that last time and it didn't seem to matter much. To me, it's an expensive piece of junk.

Still, the flash creates a huge shadow from my lens, EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM.This was a big problem with the 20D and still is with the 30D. I had to buy a 580ex to overcome this problem. Yeah I know stupid me, why reward them for not fixing a huge problem known by them before introducing this product.Otherwise the camera is very well built and sturdy. I upgraded from a plastic Rebel, big difference in the quality of the LCD.
