At £1200, the EOS 30D isn’t cheap, and I wouldn’t suggest upgrading from the 20D. But if you’re moving up from, say, a 300D or 350D, you’d probably appreciate the extra features and build quality. Similarly, for those keen Canon users switching to digital for the first time, the build quality and features make the camera a viable option.
