    The Canon 20D is pretty cool?

    I really have to say that the Canon 20D is pretty cool. Much nicer than the 350D for example. Next will be one of those EF 70-200 lenses, then I got some good zoom going as well.

    It's a better quality camera than the 350d, but damn near identical picture quality.

      Yea, but I got some more settings to play with and it feels much better in the hand compared to the 350. The only thing I don?t like too much is that it doesn?t have a remote, you got to buy a huge kit for it.

            Yeah, I had considered the 20D because of all the great work I've seen from it, but for my uses... the 350D was better.
            My reasoning is that I just want mine for photos of my baby. In which case, the smaller and lighter camera is better of the "on the go" dad. And for the most part, as was said.. the picture quality is comparable, so I can get my prints done up from these pics just as easily.

                20D $1300, Rebel XT $800. 10D is good if you can find a used one. They're discontinued.

                        It is a EFS 17-85 Ultrasonic lens. Also got a UV filter with it and some compact flash.

                        Nice package... good stuff. Well worth it.

                            I really can?t complain although I wouldn?t recommend it as a holiday type camera unless photography is your hobby. It is light, but nothing compared to those small Casio cameras.

                            Perfect for what I need though.

                              For most users, the EOS 20D are good, it feels far less 'prosumer like' and instead feels more like a 'baby EOS-1D' (as described by one of our team). Gone are some of the annoyances of the EOS 10D, the 20D now switches on virtually instantly and focuses quickly, it feels very solid and yet weighs slightly less than the early models.

                                Tomorrow is the day I get my tripod and UV filter... oh yes and the extra battery has also arrived.

                                  Has anyone here experienced issues with the 20D locking up? I love the results I get from mine, but occaisionally the camera totally locks up. Its easy to fix by just taking the battery out and putting it back in, but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue.

                                    There is no use clutching to the 20D anymore.

                                    I swear the pride of investment in some people makes no sense.
                                    The 350D is simply better than the 20D hands down.

                                    Sheesh.

                                      You should have better get sigma lens instead of canon original

                                      they cost twice as less (while being constructed especially for canon) but you'll never see the difference

                                                Not sure if I would buy a used camera.

                                                Then again, I don?t buy anything from eBay either.

Gone are some of the annoyances of the EOS 10D, the 20D now switches on virtually instantly and focuses quickly, it feels very solid and yet weighs slightly less than the early models.

                                                      No, you are right. If you got something that does what you want, why change?

                                                      Why fix something that ain?t broke.

                                                          You mean Canon. You are right though, I really like the look and feel of their cameras.

                                                                A few days ago I saw a report about horse racing on TV, there was a shot of the photographers, all using canon lenses. Was strange, but there must be a reason for it.
