 "First step into 'high-end' cameras" | 2008-09-13 |

| I bought this camera my tool for learning about digital photography. It has been very easy to use and a great learning tool. As with any camera, the lens makes a big difference in the photographs you take. The lens this comes with is okay for a generic starter, but you will quickly want to invest in a more high-end one based upon the type of photography you want to do. It is compatiable with the older Canon lenses, so that has been a plus. |

| Even with all the new cameras out there in the market, I still love my Canon EOS 20D. Unless I accidentally drop it and break it, it is still the camera of choice for me. But if you are buying one for the first time, shop around, there are some nicer cameras, for less than what I paid for this one, that work just a good if not better. |

| Love everything about this camera. Have had it for a few years and its durability and reliability stands the test. Newer models such as the 40D feel great and have larger viewing screens. My next upgrade will be to a 5D. |

| The 20D in my opinion is really the beginning of the cameras in the Canon line with really good image quality inherent in the sensors. The 30D adds some bells and whistles including spot metering that the 20D doesn't have. The 20D remains a capable camera and a good value if the limitations are suitable to you. If not, the 30D offers a little more features and is also an excellent value among the models available today. |

One day, I finally decided to upgrade from my wonderful little Olympus camera I bought several years ago. I chose the Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens;
Wow! Let me give some of you a bit of advice: If you're not a professional photographer, skip this camera! I was totally overwhelmed with the millions of settings you needed to understand to just shoot the picture. I was way over my head. I know it's a wonderful camera, for sure. I read all the reviews. I should have paid closer attention to the fact that the ones reveiwing this camera, were pros themselves!
I was really outsmarted by this one. I bought a Kodak Easy Share. This is a great camera, but even with this one, I'm still figuring out all that can be done!!! |

| Excellent Camera although a little dated now. If you are in the market for a Digital SLR Camera. Consider upgrading to the Canon EOS 40D. |

I have been incredibly pleased with my Canon 20D since purchasing it while serving in Iraq in 2005. The camera has taken some rough handling and done pretty well in various climates.
From personal experience, it won't operate well when the temperature drops below 20 degrees or goes over 130. It's not waterproof. It isn't sand proof. However, it takes excellent, crisp pictures once you learn how to operate it and offers modes for both beginning and experienced photographers. I've used flash memory ranging from 512KB to 8MB with no problems despite having used various brands.
I love my 20D and have used it to document many important events. Before that I used a 10D with equal pleasure. Now that the 30D and 40D have been released, the 20D should be available for a song. |

I've had this camera for a few years now and love it. Hawaii, Thailand, Alaska, and all over the US- this camera has done a great job.
I am not careful with my equipment (no lens caps, no camera bags, etc) and it still does a great job.
Enjoy,

I've gone digital! If I could sum this camera up into one phrase it would be "Instant gratification."
I hated digital cameras that made you wait, after turning them on, and between shots. There are to many shots that have to happen NOW or you lose the shot. You know what I mean... Film was a better choice. You don't have to "boot up" film to take a shot...
Now when I first got this camera. I tried to measure how long it would take before I could take a shot after I turned it on... As far as I can tell, there is NO DELAY! As fast as I turn it on is as fast as I can take a shot! Add 5 frames per-second for 20+ frames and I'm very happy. The cool thing is you can also do the 5 frames per-second burst in any of the automatic modes, where focus and exposure is reset for each frame. No worries about wasting film. There is no film, and you can review your results immediatly. The images I get are top notch, with amazingly low noise(grain) in the higher ISO settings. It's hard to see any noise even at ISO-1600 . Combine this kit with a great computer app like Adobe LightRoom and you have the beginings of photography heaven. |
