Good Points

New technology, smaller but still very sturdy alluminum body, an abundance of custom and basic features, much cheaper than higher Canon models and great value for money.

Bad Points

Flash isn't fantastic, DO NOT BUY THE PACKAGE with 28-80 or 28-90 lense.

General Comments

I'm relatively new to SLR photography but very experience in the research and purchasing aspect of the hobby. Choosing this model was not easy, but it came out the clear winner in my books. I want a camera which I could grow into and in time hopefully not grow out of. Professional models were out of the question ($) and this was the next best thing (in my opinion).
As I said before it is NEW technology, which for me ranked it higher than its Canon competition (namely a brand new Elan IIE/Eos 50E and a used EOS 5.)

If you're starting out this is all the camera you may ever need, however it also will not restrict you should you wish to persue the hobby in more depth.

I plan on buying the 28-105 USM or 28-135 USM IS. From various reviews thes are the two clear winners as first lenses.
At some point I also plan on buying the 75-300USM zoom. If I can afford it I will get the IS model, we'll just have to see.

This camera won't disapoint you, I had an EOS 300 for a week before I took it back, the two just don't even compare.

Smartest purchase I ever made, >See for yourself @

    I have the eos 30, and I am very pleased with it. Regarding the 75-300mm USM IS lens, I can only recommend it. I use it in combination with a 28-105 USM lens, but I use the 75-300 for 80-90% of my pictures. The quality is great and it is very useful when the light is not optimal. I use it a lot for photos inside museums, where flash is not allowed. And for the eye-focus system. It really works, and I use for most of my pictures. best regards Søren Hagensten

    Just a small correction. The Elan 7E (or EOS 30/33) body is *not* made of alluminium. Just some parts of it are made of metal, and even those are probably polycarbonate covered with some metal coating :) Otherwise it's a good camera.
