Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: Great SLR
Summary: 4 Stars
Basically the 2 biggest SLR manufacturers in this category are Nikon and Canon. While both are great cameras, I ultimately chose the Canon because of the a wider array of lenses. I found that reading camera reviews on Amazon were not as useful looking at sites that were dedicated to digital photography.Customer Review: ultra fast
Summary: 4 Stars
Two years ago when I bought the 20D body, Nikon couldn't come close to its specs. It truly is an excellent camera: ultra fast & feature packed.
I have a few of the better zoom "L" series lens but no prime lens yet: thus, I really can't tell how good this camera and lens combo can really get. But for the zooms I have (about $2000 worth), just don't seem to equal the pictures of my older Nikons.
That aside, because of the blazing speed of the 20D camera, I got pics that I could have never gotten with what Nikon had to offer at the time. Therefore, I love this camera.
Customer Review: Outstanding Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I am lifelong photographer and I purchased this camera in January. I have taken it on several major trips. It is an wonderful performer. I have many 11x14 enlargements that I have received terrific feedback on. The quality of this camera and the Cannon optics will not disappoint. The price is right now that the replacement is out.

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.
