I’m a new Canon 30D owner – my first digital SLR – and have been having a great deal of fun exploring with this camera. I was out exploring this morning with my new Canon 30D and came across this beautiful sunflower in the Palo Alto Community Garden.
The beauty of the colors and the simplicity of its basic operation are the two big advantages of the 30D for me.
My everyday 30D lens has turned out to be the 18-200 mm Tamron zoom. It’s just great outdoors with its wide range of focal length.
I’ve also had a lot of fun (especially as a new grandpa) shooting with a Canon 50mm/1.8 lens as well – indoors without flash. For more of that kind of shooting, I’m now lusting after the Sigma 30mm/1.4 lens that Phil Greenspun writes about.
I’ve had one problem with my 30D – a tiny hair in the viewfinder (inside the camera body) which I was able to resolve myself (fortunately).
Otherwise, the 30D has just been a delight for me to use. It’s so rock solid in its feel yet such an easy shoot for an amateur like me!
