Canon EOS 30D with 17mm-to-85mm lens

Summary: I like this camera because It has great lenses. It also takes great nature shots it also alows me to do a little bit more the then my last camera.I would recomend a camera like the Canon 30D if you whant quality photos.

Summary: I just love this camera. I'd like to point out in the CNET review that a battery life supposedly of only 250 shots or so is ridiculous! I've been able to get at least 1100 shots on a single battery, and though I carry an extra with me, I've never had to use it!

The image quality output from this camera is spectacular. I have made prints from this camera that are 50x70 inches and they look absolutely stunning.

Also I'd like to comment on th ruggedness of this camera. Although it isn't a 1-Series camera and not actually designed for ruggedness per say, though the occasional knock and even the accidental trip and fall to pavement from about 15 feet, the camera performs flawlessly.
