Canon 30D vs Canon D30

Below, we are analyzing the Canon 30D and Canon D30, one is a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Waterproof and both of them are designed by Canon. There is a big difference among the resolutions of the 30D (8MP) and D30 (12MP) and the 30D (APS-C) and D30 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor measurements.

The 30D was introduced 8 years earlier than the D30 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 30D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon D30 being a Compact camera.

Before going in to a complete comparison, below is a simple view of how the 30D grades versus the D30 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 30D and Canon PowerShot D30. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 30D Gallery and Canon D30 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to travel with your camera frequently, you'll have to factor its weight and size.

Oftentimes, it's tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing specifications. The picture underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 30D and D30.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 30D with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon D30 will provide more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged 30D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
