 camera is a sin, 2005-12-21
I wish no one knew about this camera because it is too cheap and too good. Now pro and joker r playing with the same toys. the game is up. I use the film SL$ Eos 3 and 1 so it was hard for me to buy this "cheap" camera. But when i looked at it next to the 1D the difference didnt justify spending 3 * as much. The only thing i wish it had was the eye control tingie and a better shutter mechanism (it is too loud man). Also i hate the point and shoot selection thing. Actually i dont like dials i like buttons (but that is being picky). It is just to cheap for what it does, any and everyone can now be a pro. But i guess u still need to know how to use the camera to get the shots. the best £800 i spent this year, within 2 months of having it it has paid for itself in the £ i have saved on film.

Great Camera! , 2005-12-16
Well there is so much written about the 20D who could add to that? I will say that the battery life is truely amazing!
The only real big drawback I have found to the camera is the Battery compartment door.... The catch is to flimsy for my taste. I somehow managed to break the tiny (and I mean tiny) catch on the compartment door. I still dont know how it broke since I have babied this thing since I bought it three months ago but alas it broke. Anyway Cannon would not replace the derned thing under warranty so there goes $15 for a new door with catch.
Besides that this is a awesome camera.

Great camera, but EF-S 17-85 lens is a drawback., 2005-12-07
Earlier this year I bought this camera as an upgrade to my D-Rebel. Right out of the box I could feel positive differences between two:
1. Better build,
2. Controls layout (especially dial),
3. More focusing modes,
4. Wider ISO range,
5. Fastest shooting speed,
6. Read/write speed (I use it with SanDisk Extreme III CF)
7. and overall feel in the hands.
Battery life is superb.
After reading multiple positive reviews I blindly decided to go with EF-S 17-85mm lens which were in $600.00 price range at that time. After a month or so I started to get feeling that somewhat I'm not satisfied with the picture quality of such an expensive set. Pictures came out soft with so-so contrast. I noticed a lot vignetting and purple fringing. Indoor use with built in flash produced dark underexposed shots. But I continued shooting hoping to improve as I'm getting to know camera better, but.... What a shock it was to me to discover that my old Canon EF 28-105 USM lens outperformed the one I used al this time before. For test sake I also tried my kit lens for D-Rebel EF-S 18-55 and was unpleasantly surprised that it produced brighter and sharper images under the same settings and light conditions. I could not believe it. $600 lens outperformed by cheap kit set. Right there I decided to get rid of it and by an L glass. Later on I read similar complains from other users about this lens that only strengthened my feeling about it. What a relief was for me to find out that there is nothing wrong with camera itself. Now I'm able to produce much better, crispier, pictures using other Canon EF lenses and very happy with my camera up to date. Why 4 stars then, well as many complained
1. No spot metering
2. Poor indoor results with almost useless built in flash
3. Poor tungsten white balance(set it to custom WB to get better results indoors)
4. CMOS easily gets "dirty" (dust)
5. Small LCD display only 1.8"
But I guess Canon is aware of these drawbacks and will use it as an improvement in newer models in this price range.
My advise stay away from the EF-S 17-85 USM IS lens as it can downplay the quality and first impression of the rock solid built and beautiful camera such as Canon 20D. Better invest money in some EF lenses which you can use later when APC CMOS will be gone (as with new 5D) .

 The Best, 2005-12-06
You will find hundreds of reviews and articles on the EOS 20D, I can not add more tech specs. (Steves Digicams, Imaging Resource, etc).
As a user I just can say that if you are a photo enthusiast this camera will cover all your needs, the picture quality is superb, it is super fast, accurate auto focus, solid, excellent grip.
Extra advice: If it is in your budget go for USM lens instead of the plastic cheap lens offered with the kit.
Remarks: Do not forget that more pixels doesn't mean better quality pictures just bigger prints.

But don't buy from Adorama, 2005-12-06
Excellent camera, but STAY AWAY from Adorama. Terrible customer service, rude, and completely disorganized. Use another vendor and you'll be very happy with this camera!
