This from Rob Galbraith's site: "USA Today staffer Bert Hanashiro, a veteran digital photojournalist and daily DCS 520 shooter, spent some quality time earlier this week with a pre-production Canon EOS D30 at the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. Hanashiro cautions that this is a preliminary look at the camera, but that he liked what he saw overall" and "To me, however, the reason I loved the camera is that it is VERY responsive and displayed no obvious shutter lag. It's hard to say for sure not having shot football or basketball with the D30, but I felt very sure that when I pressed the shutter release, the image I saw was what was captured."
