    Can you imagine what it would be like on a full frame?

    Good grief! No party thread? Myself being a Nikon guy I feel like someone else should do the honors of letting Dgrin know that the fantastic 30D is here...

    But yeah, I dunno maybe it's too embarrasing that the precious 30D didn't leapfrog the D200 like Canon "always does"?

    I kid, I kid. And check out that 85mm f/1.2 L!!!

    Well, Canon did add spot metering to the 30D and they added IS to their new 17-55 2.8, that's cool! Lack of spot metering was one of the few things I didn't like about the 20D.

    I'll bet Canon has the 30D in stores before Nikon has any quantities of the D200.

    Spot metering, ISO in the viewfinder, bigger display, more RAWs at once, Picture Styles, w00t = very nice :D

    Oh and the 17-55 f/2.8 EF-S IS is a sweet looking unit - eminently usable.

    You said it all. I have stood in line for the F4s, F5, and D100 all when new, and Canon had it all there and available in their line up.

    Patience is not a virtue in the digital world. It's a killer.

    Yep, yep I DO like the sound of that lens, but woweek7.gif that much money? The 20-30D upgrades look useful too, not enough to make me regret getting the 20D when I did.:):

    I dunno, i'm a bit dissappointed. My favourite part is the ISO in viewfinder, but when i'm shooting now, I keep in the back of my mind what ISO i'm on...

    Oh well, at very least, it means I can get a cheap 20D now!

    Just a quick FYI for you and Andy, the ISO isn't full-time in the viewfinder apparently. Only when you hold the button to change ISO. But that's still a great improvement! Now, if only that "direct print" said "MLU" instead, it would be an even sweeter camera!!!

    I don't want to be labeled a heretic, but why would a 55mm lens need IS? Even with a 1.6 crop. ne_nau.gif
