The title pretty much says it all. I currently own a Rebel XT with the kit lens and a 70-200 f/4L USM which I love BTW. I was looking into uprgrading to the 30D. I was just wondering if anyone on here has one or can compare the two and tell me if its worth the upgrade. Thanks alot.
The Rebel is a fine little camera, I had one converted ti an IR camera. The 30D is a big leap up from it. Just go and pick one up at the camera shop and fire off a few frames. It will be worth the upgrade.
You get a better body, size and construction (Magnesium clad) body,
1/8000 shutter (1/4000),
ISO 100-1600 in 1/3 stops plus 3200, (Rebel has 1 stop increments to 1600),
8.5 MP sensor (8.2), it is not the same sensor in these cameras
2.5 LCD (1.8),
65 ms lag (100 ms),
9 pt AF (7),
5fps, 30 frame buffer (3 fps and 14),
spot metering, picture styles, and maybe some other stuff.
If you can afford the extra $$ go for it, you'll love it. Later if you want to go FF (prices will drop), keep the 30D as back up and longer lens work.
