Just read Ben Long's report on the D30. I own one and am in agreement with much of what he writes. He, however, misses a major bit of controversy concerning the slow work flow when raw images, as well as the software itself and lack of third party support. In this area the D30 falls short of the D1 and posts by Canon representatives on digital sites like robgalbraith.com admit as much. That being said, its a great camera to use. While not as professional as Canon's own EOS1n it is extremely rewarding in everyday use. I'm sure Canon will correct these shortcomings as well as prove the , rumors correct of a "pro" version coming later this year.
