10D Vs 20D Vs 350D

FredP · 31st of July 2005 (Sun)

Ok, I am an owner of the 10D. And enjoy it very much. But have been thinking of upgrading if it seems worthwhile. Which way to go though I am unsure of.

How do the 20D and the 350D compare to the 10D?

The 10D is the mid level SLR of its time which the 20D replaced. The 350D replaces the 300D. So if you are going to upgrade, go with the 20D.

The 20D just fixes the little things on the 10D that needed improvement and of course it has some enchancements like 5fps and better resolution.

But I wouldn't sell the 10D. It would make a good second camera to have on hand.

But you should try them out at a store to see what you like and if you think an upgrade is worth it.

I upgraded to the 20D from the 10D and I don't regret it---the 20D has a lot of improvements. I would have liked to have kept the 10D as a backup, but I couldn't afford it.

Yes definitely..

On.ly consider the 20D as an "upgrade"

the 350D does add some improvements over the 10D,. mainly the increased MP..

But the 10D and 20D share the same advanced features that the "rebels" lack.. many of which you may sorely miss.

FredP · 31st of July 2005 (Sun)

Thanks. That helps alot. I was curious if the 350d was some sort of new high end cam since the MP were higher than the 10d.

I am going to put together a list of my lenses next, and Im hoping I can figure out what lens to get next as well!

Don't get the XT, you would hate it after using the 10D. Only choice is 20D, but it's not much of an upgrade either.

I am going to be different here. mainly because I have the 10d and I haven't upgraded. Why well you see the lenes that I am using aren't the best and I am spending my money on the getting some decent glass.

You have said anything about what kinda of glass you use and what kinda of photography you do. Unless the 10d fails to do this then perhaps the upgrade should wait.

I would look very hard at the replacement for the 20d, when ever that comes out.

just my 2 cents

Ditto. There are rumors on the forum (try a search) about the successor of the 20D (think it called was 5D) in the works until the end of the year.

Best regards,

On the contrary, it's a pretty big upgrade.

Fred, there is a link in the following thread about a 350D - 20D comparison that you may find useful:

Being an owner of an XT. I think both a 20D and a 350D could be considered an upgrade. The determining factor is what do you do with your camera. If you used a lot of the advanced functions available on the 10D, then you should go to the 20D. If you rarely use those functions and want more mega pixels, instant startup, faster autofocus, then the 350D is for you.

You neglected to include higher ISO settings and a bigger buffer.

BobbyC · 1st of August 2005 (Mon)

I've found the AF on the 20D to be much better than the 10D for action shooting and the high ISO performance alone was worth the upgrade. 5 fps is nice and I didn't realize how much faster it was. I haven't used any of the rebels so I can't comment on them.

Like anything that comes from Canon, they don't say anything until they are ready to deliver to the market. It will be interesting and I am not expecting anything until next year.

But I still don't see the 20d and worth while upgrade from the existing camera. Perhaps if you are missing shots perhaps.

One has to wonder what you WOULD consider a worthwhile upgrade? A 1DMKII?
