Awesome.

Wonderful camera. Very flexiable, very versitile. Can be the most wonderful creation device in someone whom is capable. Def a good buy now that the 30D is out.
I've had this camera for over a year and I STILL love it.10/1/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:

Great Camera

I am just a hobbyist.This was a big purchase and a big step for me to get into this level of camera.I still haven't mastered using it yet, and I've had it for a few months.
It does a wonderful job of taking pictures.If you have the right lenses, it can take some of the most beautiful pictures you've ever seen.Again, I'm just a hobbyist/enthusiast.I use it to take pictures for work, too.
I highly recommend getting a couple of VERY good lenses to go with it.Don't go with the cheap lenses that Canon, Tamron, Sigma, etc. make for this camera.Do yourself a favor and get a nice zoom - spend some bucks.You'll be happy you did.
The camera itself is pretty easy to use if you leave it on auto, but that's like buying a race car and never shifting out of first gear.The auto settings are great, and they do a wonderful job, but you can do so much more if you learn to use the camera in Manual, Av, Tv, or P mode.It allows you so much more creativity that you'll be amazed at the difference.
The 30D came out right before I bought the 20D, and I would probably buy it for the price now, but I'm very happy with my 20D.8/18/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
An absolutely wonderful camera

This camera is really great.I knew I liked it before, but I immediately began to appreciate this camera all the more when I ended up with a Rebel XT as a "loaner" while my 20d was in repair.
Not that the XT is a bad camera, it just doesn't really compare to the 20d.
The 20d has a nice feel to it; it is fairly large, which is great since I have somewhat large hands.The features are great too.And the image quality is awesome.I don't really need to go into all of the details, as most of the other reviewers have done an excellent job.Let me just say that it is a great camera and is worth the five stars.
The only complaint I have about the camera is that it doesn't have spot metering.The ability to do your light metering off of a single point of interest would be great - and they did add it to the 30d.7/29/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Great upgrade form the Rebel. Great ameteur-intermediate Camera

Impressive feature list wih affordable price, for the serious ameteur. i've been using the 20D with 18-55, 50mm 1.8, 35-80, 80-200 and 500/1000mm lenses. i am not disappointed. i am planning to upgrade to the L series lenses but slowly.
i do not mean to be over entusiastic about canon, but i am yet to see a Nikon camera with the same specs at the same or ever a near equal price. i've got the FM10 for film photography. i love both my cameras.
Impressive features include:
Mirror lockup
ISO 3200 with noise reduction
18 custom functions
accepts the entire series of canon lens.
