Bought my 30D brand new in 2006. Used it from wedding photography to landscape to studio. Still sitting in my bag next to me. 8mp or not, to this day, I have yet to see a camera that produces the gorgeous colors, contrast and sharpness that this camera does. Hope it lasts me many more years because I wouldn't trade it for anything out there yet. Thanks for the video :)
It’s a great camera for sure. Enough resolution for my purposes. If I’m not mistaken the 30D was the last or one the last Canon XXD DSLRs to be made out of magnesium alloy which feels sturdy. Later ones switched to plastics I think. I had a later Canon 700D and the 30D viewfinder wipes the floor with the newer 700D everyday of the week, such a pleasure to use and compose through it. Thank you for the comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the video
The only Canon camera I ever used was the 5D MkII, loved the ergonomics and the colors. I am bored of people saying DSLRs are dead, it is nice to get new gear with new features but if you took bad photos with the old camera, the new camera isn't going to make you a better photographer. Very nice video.
So true. At the end of the day, cameras weren’t born yesterday. If you can’t get by with a modest camera, then a more expensive camera won’t change things. Having said that moving from a dark and tiny OVF on the 700D/T5i to a serviceable EVF with mirrorless quality of life improvements on the XE2 really boosted my confidence and desire to get out there and opened my eyes to manual lenses. But a decent OVF on a DSLR body is a joy to use too
Some guy sold me this camera body for $50 and I can't tell if he made a mistake or blessed me bc he didn't need it anymore. Happy to have it be my first ❤
Many thanks for the sharing, I'm also still using mine in 2021. Agree with someone above, just can't beat the colour output from it. I also love its simplicity and reliability, the early Canon DSLRs were really built like a work horse. Only complain will be no Auto Iso, but hey, its a 2006 machine...
You are welcome. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. With the 30D, the fact that bumping up the ISO brings the noise quickly means that I prefer to set my ISO out the camera in Aperture priority and then control with the exposure +/- and then trust that everything will be fine 😅
I bought the Canon50d back in 2008 ,I remember costing me a fortune, I still own it & use it daily, I like it so much I had a New shutter assembly fitted to it, my 50d is going nowhere, I looked at the modern 500d, to plasticky for me , but that's a personal choice, the 30d looks a nice balanced camera, I have been looking on E-Bay at one & tempted, really good video.
I have a 30d and a 40d. Not really any difference in image between the two. The advantages for me are 40d has ability to remove dust by shaking the sensor. I also like seeing iso in the viewfinder in 40d.
I just bought a 30d for 35€ and I am also havng a lot of fun with it. Somehow the simplistic functionality, the sturdyness of the body and the dials and foremost the nice color rendering make it very useful for my needs as an amateur hobbyist photographer. Nowadays we are lucky to have so much cheap but absolutely high quality gear from the old days from the beginning of the digital area. I also have some fantastic Fuji gear which is nice for light traveling, but for everyday shooting I prefer the Canon 5d classic or the 30d.
Nice tribute to the 30D. I still love my 70D but also use a 90D for wildlife/action and my EOS-R for most other things. But the 70D is still a great camera with a bright viewfinder and well built. My favorite 70D lens is the Tamron 17-50 F2.8 XR DI (non-VC) which is very sharp. My 70D is actually a better backup to my EOS-R than my 90D as it is more forgiving since it does not have the much higher resolution requiring faster shutter.
I use it since 2006. It's still great, for what it does. Thanks for all the people, upgrading to the latest & greatest, old gear still does have it's charm. And personally i like to work with gear, that does have it's limitations, to get the most out of it - it's fun. /edit as standard zoom, the 18-55/F4-5.6 STM is the best, together with the 10-18 STM, and 55-250 STM. All lenses feature IS, so image stabilizer.
Great review! I miss having this camera. It has that unique film-like look that new cameras don’t have. It’s very similar to the 5D classic. I use the Fuji X-T4 for pro work but this is a great everyday shooter.
Thank you so much! You are totally right. It does provide a refreshing contrast to the XT4 in terms of shooting experience. It’s funny because in many ways I was put off photography with the 700D/Rebel T5i. I then started enjoying it again with a second hand Fuji XE2 which I sold alongside the 700D to get the XT4 which is now my main camera. I then got the 30D from a family member who wasn’t using it and it’s a great combo. Now I have two cameras that I enjoy for different reasons
my main camera is an 80D. its great of course but whenever i go out i always have my 300D with me. i love the images that old camera puts out as it has this film look to them.. I picked up the 300d for £17 and i use a 1983 manual tamron adaptall 2 35-70mm f3.5 lens with it most of the time.
@@Mamotreco Mainly portraits and even though its not a true macro lens its close enough for me so i get some nice shots of nature. lady birds etc. ive adapted the lens to work on the EOS mount. now i can use the Tamron and all my OM glass on my canon cameras.. manual of course :) The 30D looks like a nice camera. It kind of reminds me of the 300d as in, although its obviously better, I like the fact that the menus are easy to understand and the overall thing is simple. Instead of fiddling around in menus like the 80d I can just consentrate on taking pictures.
@@tranzorz6293 ah very cool. I bet the 300D probably beats the 30D with image quality. Where the 30D might be nicer is in terms of ergonomics (deeper grip, jogwheel). I have some more 30d photography here (starting at 2:55) th-cam.com/video/_YIwXuf7nT8/w-d-xo.html
@@Mamotreco although its in the higher digits the 300d was the first digital slr from canon at an affordable price. i think $1000 back in 2003 with a kit lens. it was quite revolutionary for the time i hear. it only has a 6.3 mp sensor and was the first to have the efs mount. coz its the low end model. (the 10D being its more expensive brother) some of the features were cut back. most of these features can now be unlocked using a custom firmware hack making it more like the 10D.
Thank you, what type of accessories do you have in mind? I could make a video about the lenses I use with this camera. In fact, I've already made a couple.
I love my Canon 30d. I had one back when they were relatively new but over the years have bought more modern ending up using a compact Panasonic for holidays. Earlier in the year I decided to learn to use my DSLR properly and although I have a tiny wee Canon 100d I bought a Canon 30d for £40. I love the simplicity of it, the ability to adjust the settings using the two scroll wheels. I pick up my 100d and get quickly frustrated as I can't remember how to change something on the more complex menu. I then bought a 40d for £60, I prefer the larger LCD on the back but mostly the anti-dust function which shakes the mirror. I often change lenses and although careful I get dust on the sensor. I am really improving on my skills and now shoot manually rather than fully auto. I am very tempted by a Canon 5d classic or a Fujifilm XT-2. Not sure which I should go for. Our do I just stick with the 30d and 40d?
