I know this post is going to expose my lameness. But I don’t care. My Canon 30D came by UPS truck today. My stalking paid off. And I couldn’t be happier.
The camera feels incredible compared to my Digital Rebel. It feels sturdier, heavier, more quality build. It even sounds nicer.
And then of course the test pictures. First one taken at 1000 ISO. Second taken at 1600 ISO. My Rebel started getting grainy at 400 ISO. 800 was usable. 1600 was horrible. 3200 was disastrous. On the 30D, 400 looks fabulous. 800 is nice. 1600 is very usable. 3200, I haven’t gone there yet. But we will see ;)
Final opinion? I’m in love. I’m happy with my decision. While a full frame 5D would be wonderful, I’m incredibly happy with my 30D. It’s perfect and I couldn’t be happier with it.




Congratulations on the new addition to your family! LOL!
