But if the image quality is as good as Canon promises, then its feature set and software, combined with a street price of well below US, will make the D30 an appealing option for newspapers with smaller budgets and lots of Canon gear, as well as the thousands of Canon-toting freelance news shooters eager to make the jump to digital. Canon has built just enough pro features into the D30 to make many a photojournalist sit up and take notice.
