30d or 400d... I know, but WHY? in Mirrorless Digital Cameras Posted September 22, 2006 Hello Rafael, Yes, I am sure that many people have been or are in the same situation. I am one of them. I am planning to buy an EOS 30D in the next few weeks. The absence of a dedicated control for changing the aperture when in manual exposure mode is one of the main reasons for me for not selecting the EOS 400D. I was also considering the Nikon D80 but I went to a local camera shop and played with both models available, EOS 30D and a D70s. I found the controls on the EOS 30D more effective and more precise. Different individuals will have different preferences. I really suggest that you pay a visit to local camera shop, if you haven't done it yet, and play with the controls of all the models that you are considering. After all, these cameras (30D, 400D, D80) have excellent specifications (i.e. you will not be that wrong buying any of these). However, if you are not comfortable with the equipment, you may miss some great photo op. Just my $0.02. M.
