Canon PowerShot SD30: Not the Smartest Buy

byninigirl11 Apr 29, 2007
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Brilliant design and colors
Cons Poor optical zoom, light and motion sensitive
Recommended it? No

If consumers are searching for a digital camera with high quality images, efficient zoom ability, and sophisticated focus settings, the Canon PowerShot SD30 is not the camera for them.

Excellent Compact Digital Camera

bysenchang Dec 11, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Ease of use, quality of pictures, design
Cons Dock required to upload to PC.
Recommended it? Yes

In my camera purchase decision, I looked for quality, ease of use, and price. Quality and ease of use was easy to narrow down. My Canon-owning friends love their cameras, and online reviews are nearly unanimous in praising Canon's picture quality. The decison was between the SD400 and the SD30. I... Read full review »

30D vs. 20D? Are the differences worth another purchase?

bysuemccartin Jul 1, 2007
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Canon Digic II sensor, 5 fps mode, iso 3200, improved white logic
Cons Pricey? Not a huge upgrade over a 20D
Recommended it? Yes

My first canon dslr was the original Rebel also known as the 300D, for its time and considering what that camera cost, it was competent but it can't hold a candle to a 20D and even less so to a 30D. I shoot a lot of karate for my school, the 300D Rebel only has 3 fps which just isn't enough for... Read full review »

Impressions on the CANON EOS 30D : finally mature, but still expensive

byketelbinkus Mar 12, 2006
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many features and very low noise, APS-sized CMOS gives best result with reasonable priced...
Cons viewfinder a bit dark, 8 million pixels and APS-sized cmos is insufficient for...
Recommended it? Yes

Having used a 300D and a 10D, i hesitated a lot before getting hands on this camera.
I got it with a Canon f4.0-f5.6/17-85 EF-S IS zoom, found it in Sim Lim square in Singapore.
Improvements are not so important: the good things of the 20D are still there: very good image quality with its... Read full review »
