Review: This is an AWESOME camera. I was a Minolta film camera user but when I went digital I noticed that Canon was used by many "professional" photographers. I am very glad I made this choice.
Pros: Weight, convenient location of all buttons, easy to follow menu, CMOS sensor.
Cons: I have nothing negative to say about this camera.

Review: It has an amazing five frames per second, for a burst of up to twenty-three. Also, it is compatible with all of canon's lens, EF and the new series of EF-S. This is very good, so that you dont have to go around looking for lenses that are compatible with your camera, and then find out that the lens that you want isnt compatible with your camera.
Pros: nice overall camera
Cons: nothing really

Review: I moved up from a Canon D30 to the 20D. there is a big difference. The 20D is a little smaller, lighter and the controls are better thought out. Resolution is excellent. I'll be keeping this camera a long time.
Pros: Awesome Camera. Very fast focus and shooting. Built in flash. Excellent feel. great pictures.
Cons: I wish it was cheaper

Review: I researched pricing and reviews extensively before I picked the store to order my Canon 20D. Abe's of Maine had good reviews and had excellent prices and free shipping. I ordered a Canon 20D on a Monday. I received an email the same day and was asked to call to confirm order. I called, verified my address and gave them the correct credit card number (I messed up typing mine in online) and they shipped the camera the next day. I live in Montana and took the free shipping option so it took 5 days for UPS to get it here. That is the pretty much normal to get things out here UPS ground. They emailed the tracking number to me so I could watch the camera in it's travels. It arrived on schedule brand spanking new in a factory sealed box with all the stuff in it that was supposed to be. It was a perfect buying experience and I will definitely shop there again.
Pros: Fast shipping, price was same as advertised. Free shipping.
Cons: none

Review: For the price, there is not a one single camera out there that can compare with Canon's 20D DSLR. Incredible resolution.
Pros: This camera has everything that a pro would need to get the job done.
Cons: I would like to see a bigger imaging sensor on it, but ah,well

Review: Canon’s newly developed CMOS sensor outperforms everything in its class, delivering effective 8.2 megapixel resolution, accelerated signal reading, high sensitivity and extremely low noise. Its large APS-C (22.5 x 15.0mm) size realizes an effective angle of view that’s 1.6 times the focal length indicated on Canon EF lenses. These refinements are the result of DIGIC II imaging engine technology.
Thanks to an advanced DIGIC II imaging engine, the EOS 20D achieves an amazing 5fps consecutive shooting speed during maximum bursts of 23 shots (6 shots in RAW format) — even when shooting in the Large/Fine JPEG setting (approx. 3,504 x 2,336 pixels. High-speed 4-channel reading, an accelerated mirror driving system, and faster recording to the CF card make this feat possible.
The new 9-point AF sensor provides highly precise focus detection and enlarged subject coverage. It also performs at higher speed and offers better focusing performance in low light conditions. The high-precision center AF point is compatible with f/2.8 lenses, while the other 8 points are sensitive to f/5.6.
When fleeting shutter opportunities arise, the remarkably quick startup (approx. 0.2-seconds) and short shutter release time lag (65-milliseconds) help photographers capture the moment without delay, thanks to the high-speed mirror drive. A shortened viewfinder blackout time further contributes to this class-leading responsiveness. Another efficient use of the photographer’s time is the fast transfer of data enabled by EOS 20D’s compatibility with USB 2.0.
EOS 20D users can take full advantage of Canon’s world-renowned lineup of EF and EF-S Series professional lenses. Even wide-angle EF-S lenses provide excellent performance when teamed with the EOS 20D’s APS-C-size CMOS sensor. Canon’s new EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens is especially recommended for the EOS 20D. It features an Image Stabilizer (IS) that minimizes blur from unsteady handling and provides maximum performance for wide-angle shooting.
The EOS 20D is elegantly refined yet highly durable, as well as expertly contoured for easy handling. Smaller and lighter than the current model, it features a highly rigid magnesium alloy top, front and rear covers, a solid stainless steel internal chassis, and a mirror box of high-strength engineering plastic.
Operation becomes faster and more intuitive with the EOS 20D. A new Multi-controller on the back of the camera can be pushed in eight directions, as well as down in the center, to simplify selection of the AF point, correction of white balance, trimming of images during direct printing, scrolling of magnified images and more. The newly designed grip is also more ergonomic for steadier, more comfortable shooting.
Even basic features are highly refined. The new shutter, for example, offers a maximum speed of 1/8000 sec. and is more durable. White balance offers advanced compensation and bracketing functions, and the new viewfinder is bright, clear and especially easy to focus. Canon also provides a Monochrome mode with filter and toning effects as well as adjustable contrast and sharpness.
The following accessories are recommended for EOS 20D users to enjoy all the advantages Canon has to offer for smooth and satisfying shoots. Battery Pack BP-511A offers a large 1390mAh capacity, approximately 26% more than prior versions. Battery Grip BG-E2 is a battery attachment dedicated to EOS 20D that accommodates two BP-511A battery packs or six AA-size batteries whether alkaline or NiMH — just the thing needed for long outdoor shoots. For general indoor shooting and those especially dark situations, the new, high-performance Speedlite 580EX is the recommended choice for flash unit.
Pros: Everything! Canon's most advanced camera yet.
Cons: None.
