As I’ve mentioned my faithful old 300D is broken.
Today Mela and I went off to Orms and she bought me a 30D as an early birthday gift (my birthday is on 19 May). I haven’t really used it yet because we were out most of the day but the few shots I took amazed me with the sheer speed of the 30D, compared to the 300D.

congrats on your birthday and also on a great camera!
damn, now i’m pretty much envious! gotta convince my wife to buy one for me too (in July) while she will get my EOS350! š
btw, does the box + camera comes with a kit lens (ef-s 17-85 usm)?
Thanks Thys. No I just got the body. I already have several lenses and while I would like to get better quality ones, this will have to wait a while.
