  | sent on 18 Maggio 2025 Pros: sensor, rendered similar to film, with good optics is fantastic Cons: It's a few years old, but it's definitely not a disadvantage Opinion: Spartan camera that I got after using the 20D for some time. This one has a larger LCD, basically an improvement on the 20D. I used both with vintage lenses and adapters for example the super takumar 50/1.4, so in manual because it is a way of shooting that is very reminiscent of film photography. The results using the raw format have never disappointed me. I found it very funny. It has the big advantage of files that are light and then have to be developed in post. What can I say: a great toy, surprising and inexpensive that is worth experimenting... |
  | sent on 17 Maggio 2025 Pros: Very reliable semi-professional, good photochromic rendering despite its 8 mp. very good body, very resistant. Cons: Maybe a bit heavy especially if you use the BGE2 with batteries. Opinion: Anyway I had 2 one was sold. I must say that she was and still is a good companion, At the time I took photos of her at a friend's wedding, she didn't make me look bad. I keep the other one and I still use it with a 24-70 sigma former general manager who is also old, but you don't change a winning team. The old lady still defends herself greatly, remaining, in my opinion, an excellent car and worthy of interest for those who do not run too much after trends. |
 | sent on 17 Maggio 2025 Pros: IMAGES OF SURPRISING QUALITY GIVEN THE AGE AND MPX OF THE SENSOR Cons: a little bit of everything else Opinion: Well what can I say, the age is all felt, it looks much more like an analog one also because the small display is almost unusable because of very low quality, few functions, the photos taken displayed you don't understand how they came into reality, but once you connect it to the PC...... In 2025 here is the surprise! with the right lenses TRULY AMAZING IMAGES SUCH AS SHARPNESS AND QUALITY, considering what it costs now to learn I would shoot it with my eyes closed. |
 | sent on 18 Dicembre 2024 Pros: Warm images (a bit like the old Minolta-Sony) that despite the 8 megapixels give a lot of satisfaction, exceptional ergonomics, very robust and metal camera, is found at low prices Cons: Soon replaced by the 40D for which it is more difficult to find spare parts, it uses the Compact Flash, if the latest firmware update is not already present on the Canon website it is no longer available The control software to manage the camera and see the count of shots was for the old 32-bit systems Opinion: Exceptional ergonomics does not make you feel the weight of the camera, "warm images", purchased in December 2024, the camera has a tendency to slightly lose the led information in the viewfinder and this also happened to me with the 550D but for that camera I found the spare part shipped to me from the United States, to this camera I would have put 10+ but I gave it a 9 not for the camera itself which is a pleasure to use but only because having replaced it soon (I think because of the 8 megapixels, few compared to the competition) it is more difficult to find spare parts, as camera is exceptional, depth of field button, dials for shutter speed and aperture adjustment where you expect to find them without taking your eyes off the viewfinder (otherwise what reflex would it be), This model is found at very affordable prices and perfect for photography, once you buy it at most you may regret not having taken it earlier |
 | sent on 25 Maggio 2024 Pros: Magnesium body, excellent ergonomics, very large photodiodes, very light files, color profiles all usable, excellent jpg, low cost, robustness, battery life, photographic performance, fast autofocus Cons: A few notes on the display, not always with accurate color Opinion: Among the reflex cameras, despite its age, it is among the best built, it has an ergonomics that make you feel immediately at ease, excellent grip and manageability despite, or perhaps even, for the weight, not low, but not excessive either. Solid handle, with all controls easily accessible and rationally distributed. The viewfinder is not very large but it is bright and allows you to see all the shooting parameters; It never leaves you disappointed, as it is still an appreciable pentaprisma. Despite its age, it has a rather fast autofocus and is, above all, accurate. The eight megapixels don't make you want more resolution as they are good, at least for the most widely used sampa formats and beyond. It has a respectable dynamic range as it is based on rather large photodiodes; Even at high ISO the noise is almost always acceptable and of good texture. It is good, however, not to exceed 1600iso, although a good exposure produces photos that can be used excellently even at iso 3200. The exposition, whatever the method adopted, is always quite accurate. It is capable of producing photos very similar to the eos 5d, which is still considered one of the best cameras produced by Canon. It also has a good built-in flash, which is smooth and well-balanced. At the first grip you immediately feel that it is a semi-pro, different from plasticky and creaky entry level cameras. Although it can be used simply as a point-and-shoot, it has a configurability that can be profitably exploited even in the professional field. All this as long as you don't hope for video capabilities, wirelees and other modern features, which, however, rarely interest a true photography lover. |
 | sent on 10 Febbraio 2022 Pros: Construction, beautiful color profiles, great jpg, cost, everything. Cons: Heavy Opinion: Purchased for 140 € with bg, Tokina atx pro 28-80 f2.8 and 11-16 2.8, what to say excellent machine, the profile color faithful image I like very much, excellent construction, good af, excellent light meter, certainly at 1000 iso loses a lot but jpg have something that I do not find in other machines. The display is also not bad, I also have a d200 and it is much better than the Canon 30d. In conclusion you buy at the cost of a pizza and take beautiful photos |

 | sent on 15 Giugno 2021 Pros: Magnesium body with excellent ergonomics, very large photodiodes, very light rows Cons: nothing Opinion: Logically it's a dated REFLEX, if you were to buy it now, it would be great to learn, but it has big limits if you were to go further. The 8 megapixels are not a few at all, it produces extremely sharp and crispy rows with the right lenses, obviously the subject does not have to be at a sidereal distance, because you can not afford endless crops. The burst is adequate, as is autofocus. The biggest jump is with the 40D which is certainly more usable and complete as a semi-pro REFLEX |
 | sent on 13 Aprile 2021 Pros: ergonomics, robustness, battery life, photo rendering, autofocus Cons: no live view, dense pixel not very high, no automatic sensor cleaning Opinion: This is not a REFLEX but it is a tank, as soon as you take it in your hand you feel it, the grip seems made specifically to be grasped, the weight is not heavy or light, the right that makes it feel solid, the controls are all in the right place, reminiscent of those of the Minolta SLRs and the first Sony, the beautiful bright and faithful viewfinder immediately makes you enter the action, it has a good speed of autofocus to be old and has an exceptional photographic rendering despite having only 8 megapixels, this is not at all a point against it indeed, I find it right also because it allows you to take full advantage of the full dynamic range and light available even at high iso, tried up to 1600 and the noise is almost imperceptible , I own several Canon reflexes and I believe that with what it costs today (something more than 120/150 euros is enough for a machine body in good condition) you can take it with your eyes closed and it is much better than all the plastic entry levels (this one has the magnesium body). Of course there are no more modern features like wireless connectivity and live view and videos, but if you wanted cool stuff you would buy yourself a mirrorless |

| sent on 06 Gennaio 2021 Pros: Great Refle now at a bargain price Cons: Nothing for age Opinion: Bought used last year with 500 shots practically new perfect without wear. Aesthetically perfect. Purchased for just over 100,00 euros with batterygrip and N.2 batteries one original and the other competitive. I also have a Canon eos 10D and a Canon eos 20D this is also better because it is newer and has a better dynamic range with good color tones. |
 | sent on 09 Luglio 2019 Pros: Price of the used. Solid structure. Infinite battery. Recommended. Cons: The limits of the product when compared with modern SLRs. Opinion: Bought on Ebay at a really small price, with very few photo shoots and kept very well. It was a pleasant discovery! For work I use two different brands and Canon has always been put aside although it is a high quality brand. At the reflex I added a cheap lens to which I will review, brand Yongnuo. What I liked most about this reflex, are the colors that even in raw, do not need special changes if you set custom parameters in the machine. A few AF points, but they do not create problems for me, indeed sometimes I prefer situations of this kind. Of course if we take into account the fact that she is 13 years old and we compare her to the most modern, something different or missing, you will notice. Nevertheless, you can get very beautiful, interesting, clean images, etc... just pay close attention to its use. This talk is valid for both a vintage reflex and a last-minute reflex! What I always say, especially to my clients, is not so much the arnese that one has but how it is used. I will try, as soon as I can, to upload more photographic examples with this reflex. I recommend it as a purchase and as a staple if you are looking for a valid product for your photographs. I got to see in the gallery a lot of images taken with great Canon lenses. Really a great machine that can give a lot of satisfaction. |
 | sent on 09 Marzo 2015 Pros: ergonomics, burst, really impressive dynamic range.... colors, simple resolution but with good detail, good raw. Cons: the display, noise from the 500 iso, autofocus sometimes swinging. Opinion: I come from a 20D and I have to say that it has everything that in 20D made me unnerving, spot measurement, (a godsather for portraits), improved iso stops, picture style processing with sharpness and nice manageable contrasts, a sensor that keeps simple and not too "digital" resolutions in my photographs, very nice manageable raw files , focus points improved compared to the 20D, display finally larger and well readable (I do not know why everyone discriminates against it and find it horrible), a body that has a beautiful design and well robust, very comfortable and with well sliding rings, iso 1600 usable if you correct the noise well ... obviously the 8 megapixels give me some limitations in crop, but for someone like me carves out the shots little, I don't know how much of a problem it can be, the autofocus is completely improveable, but after all, since I don't take sports photography I don't get too many kidneys. |
  | sent on 15 Novembre 2014 Pros: Excellent yield of the pictures, in either JPEG or RAW really need very little pp.rnResa colors really ideale.rnFiltro absolutely not invasivo.rnBatteria almost infinita.rnIndistruttibile.rnAffidabile. Cons: Yield at high iso ENOUGH. The few MPs (8.2) are not a problem (unless you're fanatics crop!)

Pg = 93526 & l = itrnrnI colors, the yield to iso "human", the reliability in any condition (from the heat of Rajasthan in May, the sand of the desert in Africa, the humidity of Victoria Falls) make it, today, a second body at a phenomenal price that is, it used, from 100 to 200 euro.

 | sent on 06 Marzo 2013 Pros: Overall quality of the camera body, right compromise between handling and ruggedness, good quality files in normal shooting conditions Cons: Today is deprived of many basic functions Opinion: I got this camera from 2006 to 2009, I made memorable shots, I can say that I format with this camera, I have reluctantly discarded at the end of 2009 to monetize in order to buy the 5D Mk II. I can say that pretty much ready files provided in normal shooting conditions, some problems with the management of the white balance. Today is now obsolete as a second body but I still think consigliabilissima. |
 | sent on 07 Agosto 2012 Pros: Easy handling, intuitive semi pro, robustness Cons: Absent sensor cleaning, noise from ISO 600 rather intrusive, Opinion: I used it for 6 years and I must say that I enjoyed it a lot. Easy to set up, produces jpg almost ready to use (easy to process without compromising them with artifacts), for amateur photography evolved a great tool, burst reasonable (considering the performance of today), sturdy and well made. Great for those who want to start with a semipro a few years ago, without requiring digit crazy. The only downside was the noise, I think it is better to avoid going above ISO 400. The dynamic range is really high level |
 | sent on 07 Gennaio 2012 Pros: Quality of files, dynamic range, ISO 1600 can be used, battery life, weight and ergonomics of the body. Cons: AF, LCD screen, no LV, resolution, absence of "sgrullasensore." Opinion: The 30D is definitely one of the best APS-C manufactured by Canon has a good image quality, a good dynamic range and the ability to use a little 'PP also ISO 1600. In short, from the point of view of IQ you can not complain: the 8MP sensor does a great job and provides files that would normally require little PP. Very good also the recovery of the shadows (definitely higher than that of 7D). In addition, a battery that lasts forever (I came to make 2000 shots without refilling!) And the classic Canon ergonomics that puts everything at your fingertips. Defects: the main, for me, was the AF. I do not know if my model (got it used) had some flaw in most, but apart from some imprecision in One Shot (greater in lateral points, of course, but also the central was not so sure) as soon as evening fell was literally to bed, and guess the fire was really an adventure. In this case weighed so the absence of LV (replaced with the 40D) that could have helped not a little at least for static subjects. The LCD screen, then it is more useful to look at the histogram to realize the real quality of the shot. Missing then sgrullasensore. Finally, the resolution: 8MP are clearly more than enough, but if there is a need to crop a shot can be narrowly limited. In any case, we are talking about a machine that, the second hand market, now costs little (2-300 euro) and still offers very much. |
 | sent on 02 Novembre 2011 Pros: Robust, not overly large, easy to use. Cons: Gets dirty easily, AF old but functional, small LCD. Opinion: I have the 30D for about 2 years jack used to replace the 450D which was too small for my mani.La find an excellent machine for macro landscapes and portraits with low noise and almost ready file that nacessitano a few ritocchi.IL sensor with low-density of pixels (8 MP) produces images with very little noise at ISO 800-medium-high 1600.Secondo me a very valuable machine to start photographing .... |
 | sent on 28 Luglio 2011 Pros: Robust, semi-pro features, battery life, value for money, digital noise content. Cons: LCD 2.5 "low resolution, no live view, no sensor cleaning. Opinion: At a cost of 250/300 euro you bring home a semi-professional SLR superior to many new entry-level SLR. The sensor aps-c 8.2 mpx provides excellent file ready to use with digital noise very low. The body is very sturdy, is ergonomically designed with magnesium alloy. The AF system is a typical house of Canon's 9-point AF with center cross-point only (inherited from 20d), only the 40-50d has been updated with 9 cross type points. Is not particularly suited for action photography. Like all technology products feel the weight of years, the monitor is small with little resolution ... also lacks live view, very convenient tool for macro photography. |
 | sent on 18 Luglio 2011 Pros: Sturdy and reliable, excellent image quality, extremely clean files generated even at high ISO, excellent dynamic range, ergonomics, ease of use, battery life. Cons: Displays with poor resolution, ISO invisible (visible only after pressing a key). Opinion: The 30D is my current SLR, accompanied me in all my travels in Nepal, Ladakh, India, Patagonia, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, as well as the mountains that usually attend. What I appreciate most about this camera is the extreme robustness and consistency of performance, even in extreme conditions (cold, heat, humidity dust). Furthermore, it is relatively lightweight and compact and has, as all Canon, a good ergonomic use. Another point in its favor is the extreme cleanliness of the files can also be used in high iso. The metering system is balanced although personally I keep almost always set a +1 / 3. The Af is honest, it is not lightning but it is difficult to miss a shot. Show the string action in the photos but it is understandable given the age of the system (today is obviously better). The dynamic range is very high and provides excellent performance even in critical light conditions. The battery life is great (about 800 shots), a great advantage on long trips where there is little chance of charging. The only faults (venial sins) is a really poor display as the definition and the lack of visualization of the iso (to see them you have to press a button). I use it exclusively in RAW so the quality of the jpeg, which is still good, is not a priority for me. In over 4 years of hard use has never experienced a problem and for me this is his real strength. If you want a camera robust, reliable and excellent image quality, the 30D is your ideal companion. |

 | sent on 18 Luglio 2011 Pros: High ISO usabilissimi, weight and ergonomics, battery endless. Cons: Monitor Opinion: It 'was my first SLR, companion of many adventures, I was always satisfied in any photographic situation. Churning file almost ready, and I took no worries at 1600 and sometimes in 3200iso (h1), the only flaws are the high distance between the focus and the small rear monitor. The absence of "modern features" such as live view and video do not play in his favor, but were introduced in later models. strategic recommended for beginners and has a limited budget. |
 | sent on 09 Luglio 2011 Pros: Lightweight, durable, excellent dynamic range, excellent even at high ISO Cons: small screen, AF is not always accurate. Opinion: I had and used the 30D for several years, with the 30D I made some memorable shots, the AF was good, not like my current 7D, but it was efficient, the shots that I got with the 30D needed a few touches and were ready, thanks to the density of small sensor that was really great. It is definitely one of the best Canon APS-C that you can still find on the used market for a few hundred euro, suitable for a start! |
