Nice As Long as it Does Not Break
* We purchased the Canon 20D and it broke after only 4 months. The pictures were great. The camera just stopped working one day for no apparent reason (no power). We sent it to Canon and they want $800 to repair it. We actually bought another Canon as a backup and it broke also (the lense mechanism jammed). So not only are both Canon's broken for different reasons, Canon is very uncooperative about fixing them. Canon's warranty is not very good.
End result: We are missing pictures of our just born baby girl, and Canon is requesting $800. So we're doubly penalized, despite having a backup plan. ...

* very very over priced ...
why would you spend 1800+ dollars on an old 20d + an entry level lens when you can get 40d + 17-55 f2.8 is for the same amount of money. You must be crazy to buy this combo !!!
Stop trying to rip people off!!!

Solid Camera Build, Quality Images
* 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. ...

Fantastic capabilities for the money.
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.

* Overwhelmed! ...
* 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!!! ...
