"The D30 comes fully loaded, filled with features and functionality you'd expect of a camera teetering on the edge of wearing a "Pro" badge (and probably more deserving than some of those that do), add to this the fact that Canon threw a curved ball by using the first ever multi-megapixel CMOS sensor to be seen in a production camera and you can see why the EOS-D30 is significant.
The other thing that makes the EOS-D30 special is that it (like the Fujifilm S1 Pro) is helping to open up the "prosumer digital SLR" market, the retail $3,000 may not be considered cheap, but there are considerable numbers of non professionals who can afford (and no doubt will buy) the EOS-D30"
From DP review when D30 was launched. 3000$ at that time (2000)
Now in 10 years so much advance,
Can't imagine what will be tomorrow
Agree, I was very conservative on my pricing/specs, I think they could offer a lot more at $3000-$3500 for sure. But you know the "you want a pro body then buy a 1DSIII" crowd will disagree.

Seems a noticeable tech improvement over the G10. Can't afford a 1DX and I'll need a few more generations improvement to think about 5Ds or 7Ds. I could use a 500 f4 if I can afford it. Obviously used now. 
) and a 1DIII. I could pick up a 1Dx, but it would definitely stretch my budget. I never like only having one body, two 1Dx's would never happen and even a 1Dx and anything else would just be too much $$ for me. It doesn't make sense for a 7D successor to fill the gap. Unless Canon really ramps up the AF in the 5DIII, what will be their answer to the D800? It seems like the 5D's emphasis will be mega-video, so that leaves a pretty big hole in the lineup. I think 1.3x crop is dead, though.
