After many weeks of speculation in various forums around the world about the successor to Canons EOS 20D, the announcement yesterday was really dull. EOS 30D is an incremental upgrade to EOS 20D. Evolution rather than revolution.
My (film) EOS 30 has a few very useful features that all Canon DSLRs lack today: control-knobs that can be used wearing gloves, eye-control auto focus and silent operation. It’s so silent that I once thought that it malfunctioned when nothing happened. The film was rewinding and I never noticed…
Until Canon releases an EOS xxD with eye-control focus I’ll stick with film.
