NickyBlade Member  157 posts Joined Jul 2005 More info | Aug 31, 2005 13:49 | #3 I have found the auto focus more accurate and it's also much much easier to manual focus the 20D. The 20D also feels more ballanced with a larger lens, such as the 70-200/f4.

Lol, I seriously thought the same thing as well. "Why would the camera make a difference in MF?? Isn't it the lens..." Thanks for clearing that up. --Mike Hughes--

) But as for the lenses, The biggest one I have right now is the 70-200mm f/4, and it feels very comfortable sitting on my XT. I don't know maby the 20D does a better job of balancing, but I've had no problems with the XT's sense of balance fitted with a large lens.
