mgood Posted March 26, 2007 Share #14 Posted March 26, 2007 I am a professional photographer and I have the 20D, I also have the 5D because I wanted the the larger sensor. If I were to replace my 20D I would get the 30D. It is newer technology and the larger lcd on the back is great. I would get the 17 - 85 IS lens. I have that one and it never comes off the 20D I have.Michael Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/20266-canon-eos-20d-vs-30d/?page=2#findComment-203671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfl_colorado Posted March 26, 2007 Share #15 Posted March 26, 2007 I haven't checked the websites yet, but what are some other differences between the 20/30D or even the 5D and the 400D? I have been considering the 400D from a price perspective and number of pixels. What other than fps should be considered here? I plan to use a zoom lense for pics of the kids while they play soccer, bball, etc.Tx,Bill Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/20266-canon-eos-20d-vs-30d/?page=2#findComment-203677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbudvet Posted March 26, 2007 Share #16 Posted March 26, 2007 For what it is worth, I recently purchased a 20D and love it. Money was a big issue for me and I was able to find a flawless used camera and lens for about 550-600. If you have the money I would probably purchase the 30D but you can't go wrong either way.

astrohog Posted March 27, 2007 Share #17 Posted March 27, 2007 Enigma, Check out this site. This is my buddy who has had both (thought the 20D would be the end-all, but ended up with the 30D shortly thereafter.) His gallery shows pics taken with both and if you contact him, I am sure he would be happy to give you the straight up on both.http://johnvh.smugmug.com/(Check out the r/c airplane pics!!) most of them were taken at our local flying field where we fly the big stuff!!! 85' wingspans to 141" wingspans!!!all gas powered 2 strokes up to 20 h.p.!!No wonder I can't pump enough money into my Z!!

veritech-z Posted March 27, 2007 Share #18 Posted March 27, 2007 I went with the Nikon D80 when I was shopping for DSLRs. It's been my experience that larger LCD's generally just translate into reduced battery life, but not having direct experience with either of those two cameras, I couldn't tell you that would be a given. Are you starting from scratch with a DSLR, or will compatibility with your existing hardware be a factor? I was starting from scratch, so it didn't matter to me, but if I had a bunch of money tied up in lenses and accessories, I would probably have gone with something that would work with all that stuff.

=Enigma= Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share #19 Posted March 27, 2007 I have been doing research about EOS 30D. I found a site that lists all expert reviews about it in which most are positive. You can compare what the experts are saying and I hope you can learn a lot from them which would make your decision a lot easier. Here's the link:http://www.smartratings.com/review/photography/digital_cameras/175 Enigma, Check out this site. This is my buddy who has had both (thought the 20D would be the end-all, but ended up with the 30D shortly thereafter.) His gallery shows pics taken with both and if you contact him, I am sure he would be happy to give you the straight up on both. Guys, thanks for all the advice, I'm sure it will help somebody, but I made a purchase decision almost a year ago and went with the 30D w/17-85 IS USM lens. I've been very happy with it and took over 1500 picture on my trip to Europe. I hope to post them on my site some day when I have time to go through them. If you think you might shoot auto racing/sports get the faster camera. And here's to Jmark for showing off is talents yet again.
