You are MUCH more likely to hear from someone who has had a problem, than the 99% of other people who are happy with their camera and are out shooting pictures. 20d / Tamron 28-75 2.8 / Canon 10-22 / Canon 100mm macro

Aug 30, 2005 11:00 | #5 I had to send my 5 week old 20D back to Canon for calibration as it was giving me very inconsistant result with all my lenses, it was only 1 week door to door and the problem was corrected. I have not had a lockup/Error 99 and I shoot the 70-200 f2.8L IS, I would say stop worrying and buy one. If you do have a problem return it for a new one or let Canon make it right, I have gotten nothing but great service from the NJ facility when I unfortunately needed it. Canon 1DsMk2, EOS RP, Canon 17-40 f4L, 24-105 f4.0L ll, Canon 70-300 f5.6L IS , Sigma 85mm f1.4

I assure you I'm not on a crusade to belittle the 20D and it's qualities but I am seriously considering it as an upgrade soon and I'm concerned about all the post about problems with it. And yes granted, you are correct more people will come out and complain than those who have no problem.

More info | Couple of error messages (99) and last week my top lcd display stayed on after I shut the camera off, but nothing taking the battery out for a second didn't cure. I just figure they are like computers..........they do some strange crap once in a while but are still in perfect working order. I would say those error messages are just part of the game........unless of course it never turns off. 7D ......waiting on the 5D3

Bob_A Cream of the Crop  More info | Aug 30, 2005 23:10 | #14 Only problem I have is with the little joystick for selecting AF points ... it only seems to select up, down and side to side properly ... I can't get the in between ones. This doesn't really bother me though since I like like using the center AF point for 99% of my shots, and I'd rather use the wheel for selecting alternate points anyway. Bob
