well I have the E10, I have had it since it first came out, thinking of upgrading to something better, the E10 is 4 moega pixel and the canon is 8, so I would assume it would take better pictures overall ?Muscle/Fitness Adult Affiliate Program

When you say "better", you're talking in terms of what? Image clarity? Resolution? Lighting? Color saturation? Composition?Originally posted by venuswell I have the E10, I have had it since it first came out, thinking of upgrading to something better, the E10 is 4 moega pixel and the canon is 8, so I would assume it would take better pictures overall ?
It also depends on what media you're shooting for. Anything over 4mP is overkill for the web IMO. Sure, 8mP is better for large format prints, and also gives a little more latitude for cropping.
I've not worked with a 20d myself, so I don't have a firsthand comparative basis. But I've seen the work of a lot of colleagues with 20d's...and online they're impossible to differentiate between the 20d and the e10. But again, it comes down to the skill and talent of the photographer involved.Comment

From what I remember, you can't change lenses on the E10 but you can with the 20D. Also, the E10 is a bit slow to buffer the images...I remember having to wait for the pics to buffer before it would let me take more pics. Chances of that happening with your 20D are slim. The 20D is newer technology as well so if it were me - I'd go for the 20D.

I shot with E-10s for years, and after testing several models, I upgraded to the Nikon D70 (now D70s). The new "E" line of Olympus DSLRs are junk, and I just never cared for the 20D or Canon glass. I love my Nikon, though now I would probably go with the new D200 instead.

the slowness is one thing I really hate about the E10, you miss allot of shots having to wait for it to write to the CF

True, the slow writing was always a setback on the e10, along with the non-interchangeable lens. Definitely a design oversight on Olympus' part.Comment

I never tried the olympus, but I recommand highly the 20D... I don't see how a camera could get much betterOriginally posted by rayadp05I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?Comment

Ditto on all the comments about the e10 being slow... That and you cannot change the lens out.. It does take pretty nice pics tho for a 4MP..Comment

I have a 20D and I love it. I've used a firend's e10 after I bought the 20D and the writing to the card was painful. If you wanted to view the pics you took it takes like 5 secs to view the next pic after you pressed the button.
Here are a few pics with my 20D

So speaketh the expert.Originally posted by AaronMAn amateur doesn't need either one of those cameras.
Seriously though.
Some of the best photography I've ever seen was done by amateurs. My youngest brother is an amateur photographer and his work kicks ass. He's a better photographer than me.
Everything depends on what you intend shooting.
Pics over the weekend of the kids or webmasters falling over drunk at a convention. Then go for a Nikon Coolpix.
Amateur pictures to impress people, then go for the Nikon D2X or the Canon D20, But get a profressional fixed lens. The Olympus is an old camera and the buffer drove me mad.Comment

Yeah I got the EF-S 17-85 mm lens
It's worth the extra $$.
I just got my Speedlite 580ex flash yesterday, that thing is great when bouncing the flash for portrait shots.Comment
