Introducing the Digital EOS

Meet the EOS D30: A digital single-lens reflex camera representing
the ultimate in compact and lightweight design.
Though this camera delivers the same ease of use and handling comfort as a conventional EOS,
it goes much further than simply inheriting the superb features of its illustrious predecessors.
Rather, the refinement of this photographic tool by Canon is embodied in ever y aspect of its design.
The superior features of the EOS D30 are immediately apparent:
The specially-developed 3.25 million pixel CMOS sensor,
the easy-to-use liquid cr ystal display, a high-performance batter y,
and a large memor y capacity that lets you store so many shots, are just a few.
Added to these is full compatibility with the entire range of EF lenses,
opening up a whole new realm of digital image expression.
The EOS D30 compact digital SLR camera is ready for your enjoyment.
