[quote vision63]That's the exact same price Circuit City is selling the Nikon D80 kit for (pre-order). There's gonna be a battle royale. I like them both.
The 30D has a few differences in the faster frame rate and magnesium alloy body. Many consumers will see megapixels first though and that does make for some interesting pricing. I am hoping to see the 30D drop to $999 with lens and use it as a lightweight backup.
BTW, those looking at the Sony A100, if you are doing low light shooting for action at ISO 800 and 1600, pass on that camera. The noise will drive you up the wall.
