I received the lens long time ago (about 1 month) and I just received the 30D camera body from B&H after painful battle with them. Everything is well built, the camera and the lens.
First I'm gonna tell my experience about the lens. WOW is the exact word to describe the "L" lens, the USM (Ultra Sonic Motor) in the lens is freakin' awesome. I tried the Nikon lenses with SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and they are nowhere near Canon USM! The Canon USM is so fast and silent, well done Canon. It's a nice lens after all, the downfall is only it's weight and size.
Now, I'm gonna tell my experience on the camera body. Settings are so confusing and buttons are everywhere (argghhhhh...), it took me 3 days to figure out how to change the aperture. But once I know everything, this body becomes a fast shooting machine. My jaw dropped when it shoot 5fps, so DAMN FASTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY 30D. My Nikon D50 again is nowhere near this 30D (I know they are different breed), but the 30d 5FPS is amazing. Topped that with 11 images for the buffer and once again, my jaw dropped. I am currently using 4GB Hitachi microdrive (they are famous because they are slow) but I have no problem with it on the 30D (thanks to large buffer).
Combining 30D and "L" lens are the best things that can happen. The result of this combination are fast, silent, and sharp images (what else do you want?). I was so amazed that I can't find any word to describe them (super awesome, perhaps?). After all the painful battle, finally my pain was paid off and I am so happy now. Luckily, I don't get the Canon Rebel XTi, the result might be different. 10 thumbs up! You can see pictures of what I took with Canon 30d + Canon 70-20mm L lens, enjoy!
