One day, I finally decided to upgrade from my wonderful little Olympus camera I bought several years ago. I chose the Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens;Wow! Let me give some of you a bit of advice: If you're not
I've gone digital! If I could sum this camera up into one phrase it would be "Instant gratification."I hated digital cameras that made you wait, after turning them on, and between shots. There are to many shots that have to happen NOW or yo
It's my buddy. Great piece of equipment. If you don't have the money to get a 5D, go for this one.
I have been incredibly pleased with my Canon 20D since purchasing it while serving in Iraq in 2005. The camera has taken some rough handling and done pretty well in various climates.From personal experience, it won't operate well when the temperature
I've had this camera for a few years now and love it. Hawaii, Thailand, Alaska, and all over the US- this camera has done a great job.I am not careful with my equipment (no lens caps, no camera bags, etc) and it still does a great job.Enjoy,Chriswww.

Pros: Most excellent Cons: none I bought this camera with the idea that I may be good at taking pic's and when I began to use it, the EOS 20D, it taught me how much I can learn. I have taken well over 30000 pics so far and have just began and have ha

Pros: FAAAAAAAAAAAAST camera, large buffers, 5 fps, exposure control!, 3 shutter modes Cons: Expensive, Canon tries to limit third-party products, no preview mode, no stitch mode The Bottom Line: Torn between a Rebel & 20D? Save for the 20D now there&

Strengths: 8 mp, .2 sec startup, magnesium body Weaknesses: no iso in viewfinder, early BG-E2 battery grips too flimsy. Summary: this is my scond Digital SLR, i learned with a 10d, I had my 10d for barely a month when this one came out so i sold it to one
Strengths: The canon 20D is shoots 8.2 Megapixel pictures and has a very fast startup time. It is also very good at shooting action pictures because it has an extremely fast focus. Weaknesses: occasionally it will freeze, but i think canon has a firmware
Strengths: very fast, durable, highest quality for the price, and one of the best I have ever owned. Weaknesses: none Summary: The 20d has everything to offer plus alot more. If you are like me trying to decide between the Nikon d70 or even the Nikon d100
Strengths: Large LCD panel. Ability to enlarge and reduce using directional joystick. Ability to present slideshow on the LCD panel/ TV Comfortable camera body. The greatest strength of all is the megapixels. Weaknesses: I honestly cannot think of a singl

Strengths: Canon EF/EFS lens mount, Fast and responsive replacement for my old SLR, Fast read/write, pro quality without the pro price. Weaknesses: Not the same as full frame DSLR like Canon's 4K and 7.5 K pro cameras but comes very close for 1.5K Su
Strengths: Lighter than the 10D...and represents a prosumer "compromise" between the 10D and MarkII. It takes great shots right out of the box. I love it! Has a new Firmware upgrade as of this writting. Weaknesses: RAW software is a bit clumsy c
Is the EOS 20D all it's cracked up to be? After using it a couple of days I have to say yes. What makes it so amazing?My top reason, LOW NOISE even at ISO 1600. At ISO 3200 it will create a photo that is ok if you run it through Neat Image. (a free n
This replacement to the 10D certainly delivers the goods. It is more like the 1D Mark II than the Digital Rebel. It writes very fast to the CF so it will take advantage of high speed cards -- I can barely notice any hit to the CF card when recording RAW f
I purchased the 20D as an upgrade from my Digital Rebel. The cost was certainly worth it.This camera has many, many advantages to the Rebel (as I'm sure other reviewers will point out), but I thought three were worthy of mention:ISO 1600 and 3200 hav
And that includes all the offerings from Nikon, Olympus, and Minolta/Konica. I LOVE this camera. The 10D was felt by many to have focusing issues and though I did not have any significant problem with my 10D in that regard the 20D represents a substantial
This is the greatest camera. The pictures are unbelievably awesome. The flexibility is unparalleled. Words escape me.I used to shoot with a Powershot G2, and had a lot of fun, took a lot of great pictures. However, with this new camera, I simply can'
Anyone buying this camera to use in basic/automatic mode is not getting their money's worth. This camera was made to be shot in the creative mode - P,Tv,Av,M mode. In these modes you can set the camera up in any way that you choose. The internal flas
I've only had this a few days and I consider myself slightly beyond beginner. First, it is easy to understand overall. I was using only the LCD viewer before and this camera ONLY allows the eye viewfinder in taking pictures. It turns off the LCD for
I was a 10D user for about 1.5 years. The 10D takes great pictures so why bother upgrading right? Well, now that I have messed around with the 20D a bit it was clearly the right choice... although not totally perfect.The useful improvements for me have be
My first 20d had a problem with flash exposure in auto mode. I returned camera and the replacement worked fine in auto mode. (with flash) Good for that quick picture, and helps out greatly while I'm learning all the many features. The lens for me was
I previously owned the Digital Rebel and decided it was time for an upgrade so I bought the 20d. All I have to say is WOW!! Everything about this camera is lightning fast. One of the most noticable features is the VERY fast shutter speed. There is no time
I purchased the Canon 20D package with the stock 18-55mm zoom lens about three weeks ago. Since then, I have taken several hundred pictures and am very happy with the camera - highly recommended if you can justify the price. I've broken this review u
