CNET has a Canon EOS 30D review, awarding the digital SLR camera an "Excellent" 8.4 out of 10 rating. They also awarded it their "Editor's Choice" badge, saying it "should be on your short list for a semipro dSLR camera."
The editors liked the low-light performance, speed, and "straightforward controls." They felt the features were nicely balanced between the needs of both experienced and rookie photographers. The battery life and viewfinder were problematic, and they found the flash casts a shadow with larger lenses.
