For those that are upgrading from Canon Rebel to 30D

Exactly what the title says...

Is it worth it? I'm kinda stuck between the Rebel XTi and the 30D. The 30D has a one hundred dollar rebate so it getting pretty close to the same pricing as the new Rebel.

Do you need the speed of a 30d? - 5fps?

If so, then yes its worth it. I went from a rebel to a 20d, to a 5d. I do miss the speed of the 20d/30d at times.

Isn't it faster all the way around? Same decision to make.

I just upgraded the XT to the 30D. I looked at the XTi but what sold me on the 30D was the ability to go to ISO 3200 and spot metering. I also like the controls better on the 30D.

I have the Xti and I love it. Even with the "cheap" kit lens which is all I have so far. For what I use it for, I could not justify the extra expense.

How good of a photographer are you? Will you be able to shoot the difference in cameras? Or maybe buy the less expensive camera and use the money you save towards a quality lens. The price of the 30D is body only I believe.

Good luck, let us know what you choose!

I made the same upgrade xt to 30d.
reasons are:
build quality.
spot metering.
5fps
iso3200.
controks.
shutter life.

I am looking for pretty much the same.

I still have my film slr Canon 1V - so I want a camera body which has a nice heft to it.

I already have the following lenses Canon 17-35mm L 2.8, 28-135mm 3.5 to 5.6, and the Sigma 70-200 2.8.

well then it should be a wrap on the 30d its a nice heavy well built camera and while the xti is not as nice although it is allot nicer than the xt

 

[raddogz]

Thanks - I am certainly leaning that way.

I didn't want to have to upgrade again for sometime so I went w/ a 30d. Seems worth the extra cash on build quality alone.
