Canon EOS 30D Announced

After much rumours and speculation, Canon today announced the EOS 30D, DPReview is calling it a “mild evolution of the EOS 20D” and it certainly doesn’t appear to be a revolution. Best I can say is it looks to be an incremental improvement at a slightly lower (predicted) price point.
