Canon 30D: is it enough of an upgrade?

[Stephen Lutz]

There is a pretty big discussion on Photo.net about the 20D v. 30D. Most people are suggesting this is a disappointing upgrade, mostly because the 30D uses the same 8.2 MP sensor as the 20D. Many are suggesting this camera should have been called the 20D Mk II, rather than the 30D.

The logic behind this is that while the 30D is "better" than the 20D, it is not that much better to warrant a new product designation. Personally, I still use a 10D, so it doesn't make any difference to me, but what do you 20D users think? Is this a worthwhile upgrade to trade (slightly) up? Does the spot meter, larger LCD, etc. make a big enough difference to you to consider the 30D over your 20D?

Personally, my next camera will probably be a used 20D, since I imagine prices will fall with the release of the 30D.
