"eighteen months after the EOS 20D comes the EOS 30D, which honestly has to be one of the least exciting upgrades so far. The real headline improvements are a larger LCD monitor, standardizing on 'Picture Style', spot metering, third stop ISO selection and selectable continuous shooting speeds."

This quote is from an in-depth review for the 30D. The review continues to discus the improvements in slightly more detail. But the price difference is only $200 these days, making it a tough decision. I'd probably get the 30D.

the 2 major up points to the 30D.... Bigger LCD screen (1.5 to 2 inch... Woohoo!) and Spot Metering (whic can be a VERY BIG DEAL if you need spot metering.
If you have 20D don't go to 30D wait til 30D is replaced (It's a year old, should be replaced later this year if trend hold out).
If you have a choice, that'll depend more upon budget. go with 20D and save $ on Body, but get some good glass to put infront of it.

its virtually the same camera, so if you want to save a few bucks go with the 20D. Invest in the glass rather than the camera body.

It should be called the 20DN, but thats a personal opinion. It has more features like he said, not a huge upgrade but for the cost difference I think its worth it.

It 's more important to upgrade the lens than the body.
Spend the money on a good lens if I were you.
