It looks like a good camera to me.
Despite the fact that it is all the rage for everyone to shoot RAW all the time under all circumstances the Picture styles are a nice upgrade.
The picture styles on the 5D work extremely well, it's really hard for me to justify the extra time to shoot RAW personally, as after experimenting with the picture styles I can get 99% of the same picture in much less time by letting the camera create a JPG for me with the right picture style. The only advantage AFAICT to shooting raw is slight sharpness increases, which only matters on the absolute sharpest of pictures anyway. (Studio, on a tripod, technique 100% correct, etc..)
I also think RAW images processed by DPP at least are more likely to show noise then images processed by the camera.
If you end up with one give the picture styles a serious look. e.x. people are often using raw as a crutch in tough exposure situations. But if you choose the faithful style the camera does an amazing job of capturing lots of dynamic range and rendering tough lighting conditions well. The spot meter will obviously help here as well, this is a big step for Canon as they've finally moved the spot meter a bit further down the line, something that has always been annoying about Canon as opposed to Nikon.
The 5D is so pleasant to use, they've really nailed the user interface, this new 30D should be just as pleasant. They have also made this camera look like the overall UI is almost exactly the same as the 5D, down to button placement and everything. That should be very helpful for people who shoot with both a 30D and a 5D.
The Direct print button is obviously a funny joke though. I've never used it on my 5D. Maybe some other market like Japan has been clamoring for the Direct print button.
