Canon EOS D30 Digital SLR Camera Highlights The Canon EOS D30 is important for several reasons, it's the first prosumer camera to employ a large-area CMOS imager, it's the first all-Canon SLR. In the past Canon partnered with Kodak to make its digital SLRs such as the Canon EOS D2000 and Kodak DCS 520. The D30 has been built from the ground up by Canon and uses a newly developed 3.25 megapixel (15.1 x 22.7mm) CMOS sensor that captures 36-bit full color 2,160 x 1,440-pixel images and stores them in standard JPEG format or in Canon's RAW format. Accurate color reproduction is attained through the use of an RGB primary color filter. The D30 features a Canon EF mount and can use the more than 40 Canon EF lenses or compatible third-party lenses.
Exposure options are abundant with full AUTO mode or Program AE, shutter speed priority, aperture priority, full Manual or one of the EOS Image Zone modes (Sports, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Night.) Burst capture at 3 frames per second up to a maximum of 8 frames in JPEG Large/Fine mode. Shutter speeds from 1/4000 to 30 seconds plus Bulb.
Auto exposure bracketing (AEB) captures three exposures, taken with a single shutter release, at stops over and under the targeted exposure. TTL metering is accomplished with a silicon photocell in one of three modes: 35-zone evaluative (matrix), 9.5% partial (spot) or center-weighted averaging.
ISO sensitivity is adjustable between 100-1600. White balance can be automatic, one of five presets or manually customized. The D30 features One-shot AF, AI Servo AF with focus prediction, AI Focus AF or manual focus. The autofocus system is wide-area AF with three selectable focusing points.
On the back is a 1.8-inch TFT color LCD with 114,000 pixels of resolution that is used for image review and menu operations. Most all of the controls on the rear are for the digital section of the D30, the camera and exposure controls are located on the top. On top is the Mode Dial, hot shoe flash with TTL contacts for Canon speedlights, metering and flash exposure compensation button, drive mode button, AF and white balance button, main command dial, the shutter release and a large monochrome data display.
