Following is a in-depth overview of the Canon 30D vs Canon SL3, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level DSLR and both are offered by Canon.

The 30D was released 14 years earlier than the SL3 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Canon 30D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SL3 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the 30D matches up against the SL3 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 30D and Canon EOS Rebel SL3. The complete galleries are available at Canon 30D Gallery and Canon SL3 Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera regularly, you will want to think about its weight and volume.

In many cases, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes merely by going over a spec sheet. The picture below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 30D and SL3.

As you can see, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon SL3 to deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged 30D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
