Canon EOS-20D Body only Digital Camera

Pros: Fast operation, great picture quality, vast functionality, wide lens selection, dial function
Cons: Small screen, somewhat bulky, plain design, loud mirror noise, expensive, 'lens factor'

The digital camera evolution is just about to peak this year or next and in the wake of such progress, older models become obsolete faster than one can make them worth the money that was spent last year. You can render yourself immune to such inflation ...

Pros: Lightning fast, improved AF capabilities, easy to use and change functions on the fly.
Cons: The only one I can think of might be expense.

Recently a friend of mine who is also an amateur photographer came to visit. He brought along his brand new toy, a Canon EOS-20D and we spent the better part of a weekend taking shots with it around town. I currently own the Canon EOS 300D ...

Pros: Canon at the top of their game with a camera for the rest of us!
Cons: The shutter is rather loud.

Having enjoyed a career as a fashion photographer for major magazines, my one concern with respect to the equipment that I used was that of achieving maximum quality in my photos. That, eventually, led me to using Leica cameras, with their superb Leitz ...

Pros: Professional grade feature set, image quality, speed, looks, everything really...
Cons: Price, LCD resolution.

Background I didn’t get serious about photography as a hobby until about this time last year. My dad gave me his old Minolta SRT-202 and a few lenses. After a few outings, the camera ended up jamming on me. I upgraded to the Canon Elan 7E ...

Pros: DSLR image quality, super fast response time, highly programmable, extensive system expandability, 1.6 magnification factor
Cons: Somewhat disappointing noise level in tough shooting situations, flash and download software poor.

If you've been considering the Canon 20D now is the time to buy one. This high performing digital SLR has been replaced by the 30D, yet both cameras are pretty much the same, except for price. The 20D is now available for under $1,000. Grab it while you ...

Pros: Everything else
Cons: "cost", bulkiness, software, LCD size, ISO noise, viewfinder cover, loudness of shutter, ADEP mode

Ok so I only had this camera for a couple of days as of the date of this review. This is my first dSLR but my second Canon SLR camera. I looked at the Rebel XT and the Nikon D70 cameras before even considering purchasing this camera. I loved the ...

Pros: Outstanding controls and picture quality. 8.2 megapixels. Extremely fast and nearly instant on.
Cons: No CF flash card included. Heavy with bigger lenses. No .TIF file mode.

I began my semi-serious photography hobby back in 1969 with a new Pentax Spotmatic 35mm SLR, confined by finances to black & white darkroom work, and color slides. My interest in photography waned during the child rearing years due to job and time ...

Pros: Stunning quality, fast, well-built, professional level, great autofocus, excellent custom functions
Cons: Errr..... it doesn't cost £50? Sorry but it's all I can come up with!

I had a Canon 10D and thought the world of it, a stunner of a camera, especially compared to the market that prevailed at the time I bought it. When the 20D was announced my immediate reaction was 'there won't be enough to warrant the upgrade for me'. ...

Pros: Speed, low noise even at high ISO, high buffer size, design, battery life, price.
Cons: Nothing of consequence.

In less than a year, I found myself buying my 3rd DSLR. I started off with the Digital Rebel early this year. Whilst I still think that it is a good camera, I find it a tad slow for my purpose, which is photographing birds in the wild. After missing many ...

Pros: Faster Than A Speeding Bullet... User-Friendly Switches & Controls. Quality evident.
Cons: Software Included Is Weak.

This is my 7th or 8th digital camera to date. I started with a half-megapixel JVC and remember being excited back then about its quality. I currently own three (3) Canon digital cameras. I switched to Canon (from Nikon) just over a year ago and ...

Pros: awesome exposures,black and white mode,new style battery charger
Cons: loud shutter sound.Cludgy Canon software.It needs improvement

I've used Canon cameras for four years after switching from more than 20 years of Nikon film and digital cameras. I switched to Canon,first with the D30,then D60.Nice cameras but they had other issues the Nikon didn't .Such as: Backfocus and a ...

Pros: Fast, Solid, Inexpensive
Cons: needs the faster memory cards to make best use of high speed shooting modes

Canon 20D – this is my daily camera, it is the camera that goes everywhere with me. In that role it replaced the Rebel. There are three good reasons to buy the 20D, firstly it is (relatively) inexpensive, secondly it is solidly built (without being a ...

Pros: Fast, sharp, beautiful photos
Cons: None at all

Having started with a 300D, then upgrading to the 10D and now the 20D, I have been so pleased with each upgrade. The 300D is a great camera. It is missing some features that make it harder to work with sometimes but all in all the results are excellent. ...

Pros: Build quality, camera user interface, 8.2 megapixels
Cons: Accompanying software poorly implemented and inconsistent with other Canon equipment.

I purchased the 20D to replace my Canon Digital Rebel. I was happy with the Rebel, though not with its kit lens which was somewhat poorly constructed, but I wanted a DSLR that would allow for larger size prints. The 20D arrived last week. I've been using ...

Pros: Low noise at high ISO, Build quality, 5 frames per second
Cons: No spot metering, Small RAW buffer

I bought this as a replacement for my Digital Rebel. I wanted a DSLR that shot at a fast enough frame rate for outdoor sports, and that didn't feel like a plastic toy the way the DR did. Rather than get a 10D, I decided to wait for the 20D. I'm glad I ...
