Description
The D30 was the first DSLR from Canon, released to much fanfare in 2000. It was also the first DSLR with a CMOS sensor, which delivered 3.1MP pictures to a CF-Card or MicroDisk. ISO went up to 1600, while the shutter managed to close at 1/4000s. Despite having an APS-C sized sensor (with a 1.6x crop factor), it only supports Canon's EF-Mount lenses, as EF-S had not been introduced yet. It has a (by modern standards) relatively slow 3 point autofocus and a built-in flash, and can shoot at up to 3 frames/s with a buffer for 8 frames. (It does not have HDMI, but you can't uncheck the option here)

Overall rating
First off: I got mine for free. It's in decent condition, sadly, the time variance mode doesn't work for unknown reasons. In full auto or Av, it still functions fine however. The images have a lot of caracter, the noise is beautiful and the color sience interesting. It is, however, fairly slow: it takes a while to save images or to load them when reviewing on the tiny, barely useable LCD. Also, the autofocus is pretty slow and somewhat unreliable, compared to later models (like the 5d Mk2, which I also have). Otherwise, it works like you'd expect an older Canon DSLR to work. If you can get it at a very cheap price, go for it! It's fun to use, the results are beautiful, and it definetly has a "film like" character, despite it having a CMOS. Goes to prove that the "film like" aesthetic of early digital cameras doesn't come from the CCD, but rather the color science. But you shouldn't go out to buy it for more than 30$ unless you want it as a collectors item.
