Here we are: the 30D arrived at the store today with its battery grip.
It's here beside me now. I must admit it makes perfect sense. You just have to hold it once to understand the 350D is really the basic model: too small, shitty commands and all. It was a great way to enter the SLR world, no doubt, but as soon as you take one pic with a 30D, the 350D seems sooo yesterday!
The 30 is bigger, much better in my hands, every control is at reach and all of them are easy to understand and use.
The bigger LCD is a nice plus too IMO.
The first thing I had to try was the 5 fps which sounds professional as hell, even after having seen the 1D Mk III video with its 500000 fps
The shutter sound is also better.
All in all, can't see a single downside in this new camera and can't wait to test it (must wait for the damn batteries to be charged as they aren't the same as the 350's.
While going to the store I managed to shoot the last pics with the 350: a Testarossa, which was a nice farewell
