I have had my Canon XTI for about a year now, and I love everything about it except for two things:
1) No Spot Metering
2) Tiny viewfinder
I have recently been shooting film on a Canon Rebel with a larger view finder, and I'm finding it tough to go back to the XTI, its darn near impossible to focus manually, so I am starting to think about an upgrade and it looks like the older 30D might solve both of these problems. The reduction in megapixels from 10.1 to 8.2 is not a big deal for me. Of course I would rather have a 40d/50d/5dmkII or whatever, but I'm a grad student right now on a very strict budget. Would a 30d as an XTI replacement be a huge mistake?
