Hi, I received my 20D 3 weeks ago, took about 100 pics and it locked up. I had to send it into Canon Service center because they could not fix it for me on the phone. I am sure that I will still love the 20D when it comes back.
I purchased the 20D with 17-85 lens from Camera world in Oregon instead of B&H because I did not have to pay Tax or shipping. This saved me about $160 US dollars. I have had a D60 for 2 years but I think the 20D is much better.
Good luck
Emil

The only thing better then a 20 D is a second one ( and for those an MKII)

All I can say is I am unhappy with this weather because I can't use my toys. All my feathered friends hide.

In 30 years I have never owned a camera that ( and I have owned a Hasselblad) has taken over my heart like this one has. I love everything about it and its only shortcoming is me. There is no lag, it operates in an instent. I love shooting Raw, it give us total control.

Run do not walk to buy it. you will love it.

i'm happy with mine. the kit lens isn't bad, bit definitely not needed if you already have that range covered.

...what do you recomend for the 20D.
This is in terms of a wide angle lense.

Wide? I'm using a 12-24mm Sigma...
also the 28-135IS and a 100-400L/IS...
I'm pretty happy using these with the 20D or 300D... I know I'll replace the 28-135IS at some point but it's a good "normal" walkaround lens...


OK, I admit it... I capture souls with my camera!

I upgraded from the 10D to the 20D as soon as it became available. Here are some observations: higher resolution is obvious when pixel peeping but not huge on prints, focus is generally much better and more reliable than 10D, feel is very similar with a slight edge to the 20D for quality, noise seems better everywhere EXCEPT that long exposures and underexposed (then corrected) RAW/Jpeg files seem to have significantly more banding noise than the 10D. If you get one be sure and get C1 software, HUGE improvment in look and details IMHO, and for sports/action shooting the 20D walks away...

Overall it is a great camera and probably the best at its price. It will reward great glass more than the 10D did. I would reccomend it overall but the 10D was no slouch.

Cheers,

Darrin

Update for my previous post... I picked up my 20D yesterday, I got the 18-55mm lens and the accessory pack that our Canadian stores are selling with the camera. With the accessory pack I received the battery grip, extra battery, camera case and along with this I bought a 1 gig card - it's one of those fast cards???

If I didn't have to sleep last night I would have been shooting with it.

Merry Christmas!
