The Bottom Line An excellent midrange digital SLR, the 30D has given way to its even more excellent successor, the 40D. However, it remains a great choice if you can find it at a good price. Great photo quality and excellent continuous-shooting performance are just two of the Canon EOS 40D's many attractions in the digital camera marketplace. Nikon scores big with the D80, its new 10-megapixel, sub-$1,000 dSLR. It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS Rebel XSi delivers on performance and photo quality. An excellent midrange digital SLR, the 30D has given way to its even more excellent successor, the 40D. However, it remains a great choice if you can find it at a good price.
