Actually there is not much difference, I dont think many will bother to chage or get ride of their 20D. :think:

hmmm ... focusing hardware is the same, but algor improved in 30D.....
does that mean 20D will get the firmware upgrade soon ?

EOS 50D...CYRN said:No wonder no announcement leaks... with all those speculations, those who know the 30D specs also dare not say. Else kenna bomb by Canon fans... hahaha
IMHO, should be 20Dn. Given similar tweaks to 1Dm2 compared to 1Dm2n.
Personally, I wouldn't be 'praising' this 30D... if everyone sings high praises then Canon seems to 'relax' in their pushing the technological envelope... must keep them on their toes... apply the 'game theory'
3" LCD Touch Screen
DigicIII chip, 0 noise at ISO3200
ISO modes 50-6400
Full frame
External twist dial WB & Exposure Compensation selector
High speed crop 1x, 1.3x & 1.6x
Fuji CCD Sensor for excellent colour redention & excellent out-of-camera JPEGs
Super dynamic range of sensor that allows upto +/-8 EV instead of the current +/-2 EV
Ultra-large 1GB buffer memory allowing for 10fps
Ok, all we have to do is wait. :bsmilie:

Wow! Can that really be done through firmware alone? If someone has the firmware, I dun mind voiding the warranty just to have spot metering!

Need to add phone capability .. so instead of telling wifey buy new camera (again) can just say upgrade phone heheheh :bsmilie:
When D60 was replaced by 10D a few years back, everyone thought the improvement aren't worth upgrading but in the end 10D proven to be much more capable than expected, and at a much more attractive price! $3.8K -> $2.8K
Look like the history repeated itself with 30D, an improved version of 20D but at an even more affordable price. Now with spot-metering and bigger buffer, the usability also improved such as ISO at 1/3 steps, more durable shutter, longer battery life, faster & better interface. Other improvement that we can't tell from the spec will be noise level, AF speed, WB and metering, it should be the same, or at least better than the 20D.
Existing 20D users may not be tempted to upgrade, but there are even more 300D, 350D, D60, 10D or film body users waiting to get a new body, and the 30D will fit the bill nicely. To these pple, 30D will be a major upgrade from their existing camera, if they are still disappointed, I am not sure what can make consumer happy, 1DsMKII at 350D price? Dream on...
Seriously, I wonder how many of us can push the capability of the camera body to the max, and found that the camera become the "limitation". If you really need anything better, there is always Canon 1-series.... as Canon users, we already have the widest range of consumer to professional bodies and lenses to choose from, and not just stuck with a few bodies with limited upgrading path.
