CMOS Sensor
With 8.2 Megapixel resolution, the EOS 30D's CMOS sensor records each image with enough clarity for detailed A3+ enlargements and creative cropping.
Canon's CMOS sensor technology offers several advantages over traditional CCD sensors. Low-noise performance means that even at high ISO speeds resolution and quality are not compromised. On-chip circuitry reduces remaining fixed pattern and random noise
to enable shooting at speeds as high as ISO 3200 (equivalent). A low-pass filter in front of the sensor suppresses the false colour and moiré that can affect high-resolution digital photography.
Large pixels on the EOS 30D's CMOS sensor allow for a wide dynamic range, so that images retain greater contrast and detail in shadow and highlight areas. The 22.5 x 15mm sensor size adds an effective 1.6x increase to the focal length of EF lenses, for
extended reach on telephoto shots. Click here to find out more about Canon's CMOS advantage.
