About the Canon EOS 30D DSLR Body
The Canon EOS 30D is a mid-range DSLR aimed at enthusiasts, sitting between the entry-level EOS 350D/400D and the professional EOS 5D. Its 8.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor delivers clean images with room to crop, and the 9-point autofocus system with a fast 5 frames-per-second burst suits action and wildlife. The body is built from magnesium alloy for a solid, durable feel, with a bright pentaprism viewfinder and a 2.5-inch rear LCD with a wide viewing angle. It uses Canon EF and EF-S lenses and CompactFlash cards. This listing is for the camera body only; a lens is not included.

Questions about this model
Does the Canon EOS 30D come with a lens?
No. This listing is for the camera body only, so you will need a Canon EF or EF-S lens to shoot.
What memory cards does the EOS 30D use?
It uses CompactFlash (CF) Type I and Type II cards, not SD cards.
Is the EOS 30D full frame?
No. It has an APS-C sensor, so EF-S lenses can be used and EF lenses give a narrower angle of view than on a full-frame body.
