The Canon 20D is awesome. No doubt about it. It was my first step into DSLR territory after years with film slrs and I can't believe I didnt make the change sooner.
Firstly, if you familiar with SLR's and especially canon's (as i was) you'll have no problem picking this camera and getting to grips with it within half an hour. Ok so some of the more technical things this camera allows you to do, like the Auto WB Bracketing etc may take you a little while longer to master but it really depends on your knowledge to date and not the camera.
The Canon 20D will definately not hold you back. Its creative possibilties are endless. For those of you still using the scene modes, dont worry, they're still here but are alongside fully manual and partially manual modes (ie shutter priority, aperture priority etc.) to give you full creative control.
Another great thing about this cam is its build quality. Simply put its built like a tank and wont be falling apart any time soon. You have my guarantee on that. As soon as you pick it up you can feel the superb craftmanship and build quality. Although I havnt yet, I bet it can survive a fair few drops and knocks before you have a problem.
The kit lens is perhaps a bit limiting, its optical quality (whilst good for begginers and is certainly very acceptable) doesnt compare with quality pro lenses, but this is to be expected as kit lens. This shouldnt be a problem for those of you who have used canon slr's in the past and have a collection of canon lenses to your disposal as the 20D supports the EF mount. (Although bear in mind you need to multiply the focal length of each lens by 1.6 to compensate for the crop factor of the CCD chip.)
Drawbacks (theres always a couple :D) - My main gripe with this camera is the display on the back. Although in most lighting conditions it is easy to read and the setting etc are easy to change, it does fade a fair bit in direct sunlight. So you'll find ur self squinting to see the back display to check out your latest shots. Of course the problem is resolved if u move out of the sun but it still annoys me.
Another moan is that the monitor is a bit on the small side. To be honest a larger display would be nice, but I dont think it prohibits me in many ways, checking focus isnt a problem as it allows you to zoom right in to the pic using two easily posistioned buttons on the top right back of the cam.
Oh lol I thought of another good point, the scroll wheel. It allows you to easily browze throught the photos you've taken and is such a relief from pressing directional buttons (left/right) over and over again.
So in conclusion this is a great cam aimed at semi-pro's or pro's looking for a second back up body. It wont hold you back and it will definately open a lot of doors to you.
Thanks for reading and please rate it kindly! :)

Advantages: excellent pictures, can change lenses Disadvantages: expensive, won't fit in your pocket
...up from my much loved Canon Powershot A70 point and shoot camera to play with the big boys and telephoto lenses on a digital SLR.
Before I bought the Canon EOS 20D I did a lot of research into different digital SLR cameras and the only bad comment I could find about the EOS 20D (apart from the price tag ) was that the on/off switch was fiddly.
Well the switch is a little fiddly but the camera has an excellent power management system and almost ... ...than that of my little Canon A70.
When I first had the camera I took hundreds of photos (oh the joy of digital) in the fully automatic mode and the basic modes and was delighted with the results. The camera uses top level technology for the automatic modes which enables even a novice photgrapher to get great results (obviously the camera can't alter composition but apart from that..). The photographs I have taken with the EOS 20D seem much more ...

Advantages: Build quality; fast autofocus; programmable to suit you Disadvantages: VERY HEAVY; complex; battery pack ESSENTIAL; needs EX-series flashgun
I bought a Canon 20D after years and years as a semi-pro photographer, working for a public school on their publicity shots. I therefore had a large number of Canon-fit lenses and wanted a digital camera that would utilise them.
Hence my buying a Canon 20D a year ago. For reasons even I do not fully understand, I bought two! :-0
My first impressions were that Canon had, once again, done their usual trick of making a camera that is all but unuseable ... ...think it is misguided of Canon to make older flashes not compatible - yes too.
If you have £1000 to spend on a camera and have Canon-fit lenses in your bag, then this is, without question, the camera for you.
Oh, and one other point. Taking pictures is easy with this camera, but the procesing of 200+ shots on your PC at the end of an afternoon's shooting, to get 50 suitable for public viewing, is very, very time-consuming! Allow 5mins or so for ...

Advantages: Excellent build quality, fantastic photos Disadvantages: none to write about
...been an owner of the Canon 10D for over a year, common sense was thrown out of the window... I sold the 10D and bought the 20D and haven't looked back!
Firstly, price: in Sept of 2004, I bought this from Jessops for £1000 (Body only). Even now, that's still a good price!
When you first take the 20D out of it's box, the first thing you notice is the feel of it. It feels chunky but also feels well built, unlike the 300/ 350D, it's cheaper cousins. ... ...and it's obvious canon have spent time placing all the buttons in the right place. Everything falls to hand, and you don't have to take your eye away from the camera to know what you are doing!
Speaking of which, the view finder. I have used cameras with brighter view finders, but, to be honest, it doesn't really matter as the auto focusing is great anyway (more of that later), and you can instantly view the pictures on the screen anyway! There ...

Advantages: Good software included. Disadvantages: Memory not included.
Is Canon 20D excellent camera? Now, after two months of using it, should say testing it, after taking few thousands of pictures in different situations: porters, landscapes, flowers, during the days and nights, I must say… yes! It really is excellent digital, semi professional camera. Great for those of us who want they photographs to stand out from the crowd. Those who like spending a bit extra to get the best possible result and after downloading ... ...just have done. Canon 20D is my 3rd Canon camera but firs digital from Canon stable (12th in general, yes have done few pics). Canon products have always been excellent quality in picture processing. My other Canon cameras were: 500 and 50E (the last one was excellent camera with eye control device - state of art; wish the 20D had it). Both of them were great, but none of them can even compare to 20D. That monster (did I just say that?) is great ...

...to this I had a Canon eos 30 film camera. I was concerned that digital technoogy wasn't evolved enough yet for me to make the change but my fears have been proved wrong after buying the eos 20d. Its a fantastic camera with excellent image quality and is very easy to use. Rght from when you turn the camera on (o.2 millisend start up speed-now thats quick!) it delivers a rewarding experience. The menus are easy to navigate through with plenty of option ... ...All canon EF lenses fit the camera so, if like me your making the change from film to digital it'll be easy if you've already got some lenses.
the camera has the ability to adjust the film iso setting from 100 iso right up to 3200 iso (H setting)
You can adjust the white balance or have the camera set if for you automatically so you'll get excellent pictures all the time.
The batteries last for a long time too (about 200 shots with flash) hundreds ...

Advantages: Performance and speed Disadvantages: Higher cost than lower level models
Having bought this card to be used in CanonEOS20D & 40D digital cameras they are extremely rapid and much better than the lower speed Sandisk Compact Flashes or other makes. The cameras have not as yet had to stop shooting to allow the card to catch up to write data during picture taking even in rapid fire sports mode. Have had no failure with data capture and have been used in extreme temperatures, holiday in Australia (39C) and a family wedding in Austria (-10C). The cards didn't seem to lose any performance in the big changes in temperature which can occur with lesser models. I would thoroughly reccomend these cards to anyone prepared to spend that little bit extra the performance justifies the cost. Look out for sale offers on them to make them really good value for money. ...
Advantages: very fast AF mechanism, quiet operation, image stabilization Disadvantages: feels a bit plastic, low-light performance not so good
When I bought my CanonEOS20D, I was thinking about getting a cheaper Sigma or Tamron objective to go with it. But since the optical performance of those 3rd party can't keep up with the Canon ones most of the time, because of the reverse-engineered Auto-Focus interface, I went for the safer option and got myself the 17-85 IS USM instead.
The objective is huge and heavy, which in conjunction with the EOS20D really makes it a weight training exercise. The objective itself can be switched from Auto to manual via switch (you can also turn the image stabilization off) and manually focus using the focus ring, without being forced to go into manual focus mode.
The image stabilization tries to make up for the starting aperture of F4-5.6. Once you go to maximum zoom, the starting aperture will be 5.6, regardless of how much light there ...
Advantages: Improves camera handling with larger lenses. Disadvantages: Doesn't "lock" in perfectly.
The Canon BG E2 is the battery grip for the CanonEOS20D. It also goes under the name of a vertical grip as not only does it provide a holding space for two batteries (BP-511A, or 6 AA's using the AA adapter it comes with) but it also provides an additional shutter release button on the "top" of the camera as you hold it verticaly (providing of course you rotate the camera anti clockwise from the horizontal shooting position).
Battery grips are a must have for any serious amateur photographer who uses their camera intensively. I say amateurs because your average professional will be using a camera body that effectively has a battery grip built in as one unit. The reason for this "need" of the grip is to improve camera handling and also to give the camera greater balance when using longer and heavier lenses.
Once attached to your ...
The EOS 20D is the semi-professional digital SLR to deliver all the speed, precision and flexibility synonymous with high-end film SLR cameras - plus a whole lot more. A rugged magnesium alloy body provides the first clue that the EOS 20D is no ordinary camera. Canon's award-winning CMOS technology delivers outstanding image quality and 8.2 Megapixel resolution. The DIGIC II architecture drives blistering 5fps continuous shooting with a maximum burst of 23 frame JPEG images, class-leading color rendition accuracy, quick start-up times and rapid display and zooming of images during in-camera review. JPEG and RAW files write simultaneously with no loss of performance. 9 auto focus points are carefully distributed across a wide area of the frame for fast, accurate focusing, even with off-center subjects and particularly with 'rule-of-thirds' compositions. The E-TTL distance-linked flash algorithm takes factors such as lens distance information and ambient light readings into account for accurate flash metering, even in circumstances such as recomposed shots, or where high or low reflective objects appear in the frame. The camera is compatible with the entire EX-series Speedlite flash range. This includes the 580EX, which transmits color temperature information for improved color stability and auto zooms to match the camera's APS-C sensor size. The EOS 20D is compatible with more than 60 Canon EF lenses, including Canon's EF-S lenses. Built with the EOS 20D photographer in mind, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM cover popular wide (approx. 16-35mm) and standard (approx. 27-136mm) ranges in the 35mm equivalent. An extreme high (3200 ISO) setting extends the camera's wide 100-1600 ISO speed range. Both sRGB and Adobe RGB color spaces are supported. Digital Photo Professional image processing software permits high-speed processing of lossless RAW files. The EOS 20D's USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection enables fast download of images to the computer. PictBridge compliant, the camera supports direct printing to any compatible photo printer. It takes both CF and CF-II cards, including cards of over 2GB capacity.
