The Canon EOS 30D Digital Camera that everyone has been swooning over since details leaked a few months ago, is real. In fact, Canon plans on releasing the new EOS 30D Digital Camera sometime in March 06 with a possible unveiling at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) trade show in Orange country, CA next week.

Darren over at the Digital Photography Blog has these details on the Canon EOS 30D:

The Canon EOS 30D is an upgrade of the Canon EOS 20D (same 8.19 megapixel CMOS sensor) with a larger 2.5 inch LCD (230,000 pixels) with ISO up to 1600 (in 1/3 stop increments) and Spot Metering (I know a few 20D users who will be wondering whether to upgrade just for this). It also features burst depth of 11 in RAW and 30 in JPEG (9 for RAW and JPEG) with selectable continuous shooting speed. The Canon EOS 30D will have a retail price of $1399 (cheaper than the 20D) and will be in stores in March.
