Yes, that's exactly the case - Canon has used belt drive in EOS 100,
5 , 50 and now in 30. It really keeps the noise to minimum but I
think it is not as durable as geartrain since even Canon kept the
latter in the EOS-3 and EOS-1V. They are fine in machines that do not
see extensive use (though I must have put a thousand of rolls of film
through my batterred EOS 5 and it still works)
