The EOS D30 is Canon's state-of-the-art 3-megapixel digital SLR camera featuring a large-area CMOS sensor and compatible with the entire line-up of Canon EF lenses. Designed to satisfy both amateur as well as professional requirements, the EOS D30 delivers outstanding image quality, captured by Canon's proprietary 3.25 megapixel large-area CMOS sensor, an RGB color filter, and a newly designed digital image-processing LSI. The compatible range of EF lenses work in concert to offer ultra-high resolution and superior color fidelity. 
EOS D30 features the same mode settings and dial operations of the EOS series, together with  a high-speed 3-point autofocus, a 35-zone evaluative metering sensor, and a built-in E-TTL (evaluative through-the-lens) flash system - the first in an EOS-series camera. The easy-to-read 1.8-inch LCD monitor clearly displays captured images -  stored on CompactFlashTM cards -  as well as camera status information. 

Its stainless-steel chassis covered by light-weighted strong-engineered plastics as body, weighted only at 750g (26.5oz), EOS D30 is the world's lightest digital SLR camera! 
 

EOS D30 Features

3.25-Million-Pixel Large Area CMOS Sensor 
A particular feature of the EOS D30 is that it uses a CMOS sensor instead of a CCD.  This proprietary large-area CMOS sensor has been developed by Canon for high-sensitivity, high-resolution imaging.  It features a sensor size of 22.7 x 15.1 mm with total pixel count of 3.25 million.  Together with the RGB color filter and Canon's newly designed digital image-processing LSI, the camera ensures true colors and sharp contours, suitable for business and amateur use. 

E-TTL Flash System 
The built-in E-TTL (evaluative through-the lens) autoflash provides flash illumination and exposure control even under complex lighting condition.  This systems features flash exposure compensation function, flash exposure lock (FEL) function and a 1st curtain/2nd curtain sync-switching function.  Equipped with these functions, it can capture moving subjects easily as well as providing the proper lighting for the part of the subject you choose. 

Compatibility with Canon EF Lenses and EOS Series Accessories 
The EOS D30 is compatible with the entire range of Canon EF lenses.  With the CMOS sensor, the coverage with a lens is 1.6 times larger than with a 35mm film camera.  In addition, the camera is compatible with the full family of EOS series accessories without modification.  Its E-TTL autoflash-compatible hot shoe accepts external flash including 220EX, 380EX or 550EX.  The x-sync contact works with external flash and the remote terminal connects to the new 3-pin remote controller. 

Data Recording and Image Storage 
The EOS D30 has five data recording formats which include four JPEG file formats and the RAW format.  Compatible with JPEG files, the DPOF allows you to specify from the camera which files and print quantities you want, and write this information onto the CF card for easy printing. 

Recording images on CF card, the camera is compatible with Type I or II PCMCIA-ATA standards.  When shooting in "large/normal", about 22 images are stored on a 16MB CompactFlashTM card, which comes shipped with the model. 

High-Speed Shooting 
When the Drive mode is set to Continuous, the camera is able to shoot up to 8 frames (using large image size and fine compression mode) in a continuous sequence at approximately 3 images per second (requiring shutter speed of 1/250 second or faster).  This is due to the newly designed image-processing engine and high-capacity buffer memory (32 MB). 

High Capacity Battery System 
The high capacity battery pack BP-511 that is included with the unit provides enough power to take up to approximately 540 shots when used at normal temperatures (20oC/68oF), with 50% flash photography.  It takes as little as 90 minutes to recharge the Battery Pack BP-511 by using the Compact Power Adapter CA-PS400, which comes with the camera. 

The Shooting Priority Camera Design 
The "shooting priority" facility incorporated into the camera design has eliminates the need to switch between Rec/Play/PC modes from a control panel.  Pressing the shutter button down halfway enables you to return to ready-to-shoot mode even when you are viewing pictures or performing menu operations.
