Canon EOS 30D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens

Canon EOS 30D brings proven EOS technology to a new level, giving photographers an unbeatable photographic experience. The EOS 30D incorporates a host of new features with Canon's highly acclaimed 8.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC II Image Processor. The EOS 30D includes enhanced operational features such as a new 2.5 inch LCD monitor, true spot metering, a durable new shutter mechanism and Canon's Picture Style feature, all in a sturdy, magnesium-clad body. With all these new features the EOS 30D is truly perfection, refined. The EOS 30D has a high-precision, 9-point wide area AF system that uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually-selected using the 30D's intuitive, thumb-operated multi-controller. EOS 30D adds a spot metering function that meters roughly 3.5% of the center of the image. This new metering function, in addition to Canon's impressive evaluative, center-weighted average and partial metering modes, gives the photographer even more choices for custom-tailored shooting. UsesOne Lithium-Ion Battery Pack BP-511A Size WHD 5.7 x 4.2 x 2.9 in./144 x 105.5 x 73.5mm; 24.7 oz.
Customer Review: Great bargain for a first/back up SLR
I bought this camera refurbished and have been quite happy with its overall performance. It compares to the 40D, but with less resolution. Does well when looking at the http://www.dxomark.com/ testing when compared to the Canon XXD series. I have shot rough 4000 clicks without a hitch. I find the lack of a sensor cleaner a drawback. LCD could be bigger/better, but I don't use it that much. I have owned the XTI and much prefer this cameras feel and handling, but have to say the image quality appears roughly equal. More import is a good glass!
Customer Review: Canon 30D
A superb camera. Excellent IQ. The only annoying feature for me is the On/Off switch which is on the rear of the camera and is fiddly if you have big hands! Excellent value.

Canon BG-E6 EOS 5D Mark II Battery Grip

The EG-E6 Battery Grip is dedicated strictly to the EOS 5D Mark II, and permits one or two LP-E6 battery packs to be installed. With two packs, the battery life is doubled, compared to using a single LP-E6 pack in-camera. Especially for extended use of the EOS 5D Mark II's movie mode or Live View, the BG-E6 is an outstanding accessory. The BG-E6 provides full vertical shooting controls, which can be independently turned on or off as the photographer desires.
Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to but too expensive
I have mixed feelings about this item. I shoot a lot of vertical portraits so this was a must however I don't really like it as it adds a lot of bulk to the camera and it's way too expensive. It should be $100. less. I simply do not use it unless I'm doing a portrait shoot. For everyday walking around or tripod work, it's too cumbersome. On the plus side, it feels fairly solid and should last the life of the camera.
Customer Review: Great product
Very good product! Comes with an extra magazine for AA batteries. Easy to install feels very solid. Remember to get an extra battery you are only purchasing the grip no an extra battery
