AA Batteries optional in extra vertical camera grip
Canon EOS 30-D
Best of the Rest
If you want magnesium clad or ruggedized body, a camera with true spot metering and a durable shutter mechanism, then seriously consider the EOS 30-D. This is the camera that was replaced by the Canon EOS 40-D; however, you can make use of the same professional features in this Best Value camera. It has a 2.5-inch LCD and can take photographs in 5 fps bursts.
