They do NOT use the same battery.. I have had both the 300D and the 20D. From my experience.... they 20D battery is amazing compared to my 300D. I shoot a lot of go days w/o recharge. I have not found the need to a battery grip or extended battery. Canon 20D w/ 18-55 Lens Kit, 6 gigs CF Cards

Technically you're correct, but only in the pedantic details, and your answer is misleading to a newbie. Put a 20D battery in a 300D and it'll work, and vice versa. The 20D has a BP511A which is simply higher capacity, but they're 100% compatiable. I use generic 1800mah batteries, which work in both cameras - i've had a 300D and a 20D.
