The EOS 30 is a more advanced version of the EOS 50E. With seven AF fields and the fastest eye-controlled autofocus in acute Ellen Canon program (even a little faster than the EOS 3) it is its competitors the other camera manufacturers far ahead. In spite of up to four frames per second the camera the quietest Canon EOS remains. It has ergonomically arranged controls (incl thumbwheel on the back and preview button.) And a built-in flash with guide number 13. With the dedicated flash units it works perfectly: E-TTL flash control, high-speed sync, flash exposure compensation, and even the construction of a wireless E-TTL -Blitzanlage leave nothing to be desired. The case is partially made of aluminum and makes a robust impression. The camera with the separately sold battery grip BP-300 (for AA-size batteries suitable!) Is also in the vertical well in the hand. The Canon EF 28-135 IS USM /3.5-5.6 the camera is optimally equipped for create sophisticated reportage photography. For me this is the photo Combination of last year!
