For over 3 months I am already a proud owner of a Canon EOS 20d. All good tests and reports I have read before buying I think fully confirmed.
About 15 years I now take, pictures even with SLR cameras. Before the EOS 20d with the EOS 620, I had one of the first EOS camera with auto focus. Digital photography has long irritated me with their unbeatable advantage of direct recording of control and the elimination of film and development costs.
Besides the absolute image control through the viewfinder and flexibility through the various lenses I had grown accustomed to a non-existent shutter lag. With most digital cameras, the EOS 20d ago I had my hands in both the switch-on and the shutter lag has prevented from buying.
With the EOS 20d, but after turning the camera is ready to shoot well (when you tap the shutter from sleep mode) and shutter lag is not noticeable. This is especially handy for snapshots. I've already been photographed at parties and a shooting. I turned on the camera forever. Even when they controlled for about 1 min () falls into a sleep mode, it is immediately ready for a push of the shutter. So will I miss any spontaneous situation.
The case makes a very solid feel and fits comfortably in your hand. Unlike the EOS 300d or 350d, the new EOS 20d has a thumbwheel that rapid exposure or flash compensation possible. Even when you scroll and navigate through the menu or the images looking back with the display the wheel provides very good service.
The 8 megapixel sensor offers a high reserve even for enlargements in poster format.
I like taking pictures at concerts and mostly indoors. Even when shooting with my EOS 20d and high sensitivity (800 or 1600 ASA), there is no noise. A bolt of lightning that would destroy the atmosphere in such situations is not usually necessary.
The built-in flash pops up higher than with other cameras, which minimizes the risk of red eyes. He goes for shooting at close range, for example, at parties and family celebrations. Together with the E-TTL 2 flash control, which includes the color temperature and the distance information of the lens into the measurement can be made for example in large-aperture (shutter priority), nice shots. The ambient light levels is included in balance with the measurement. Also, the fill-in flash in backlit or in the sun loses its terror. For bigger jobs I have already ordered the Speedlite 580EX here at Amazon, to exploit fully all the possibilities of this new flash control to be able to.
A major advantage over the analog photography is the automatic or manual white balance. Thus, the color temperature can be selected in a particular area and to avoid color casts.
Also, the EOS 20d brings a black and white mode with different filters and toning methods with the same.
The EOS 20d offers scene modes for beginners, such as sports or portrait, and for the professional creative applications of the program, aperture priority and aperture priority, and a complete manual control.
The EOS 20d uses the speed advantage of the modern compact flash cards, for example, from SanDisk (Ultra II and Extreme) from offering and describes them very quickly. Thus a higher frequency can be achieved in continuous shooting. In addition, the USB 2.0 standard is supported already. This allows the images to a compatible PC or notbook read much faster from the camera. However, I usually use an external card reader, which saves the camera battery.
On a 1 GB Compact Flash Card fit over 250 JPG images with high resolution and over 350 medium-resolution JPG images. The standard battery is sufficient without the built-in flash of the EOS 20d is used loosely for more than 500 recordings.
It should be noted however, that the EOS 20d, like most digital Spiegelrefleskameras know full frame sensor, but a small CMOS sensor in the APS format. This gives a focal length extension factor of 1.6. That is, from my standard zoom lens EF 28-135 mm IS / USM, a telephoto lens Zomm of 45-216 mm. However I like the slight telephoto photographing such as portraits, this affect seems to me contrary too much.
The set offered in this Canon EF-S 17-85 IS USM lens provides a good alternative to my 28-135 IS USM dar. Because unlike my lens about the latest Image Stabilizer (IS)-generation features, it can also be used on a stand with turned-anti-shake. I am absolutely delighted with my lens from image stabilizer. Shots from the free hand, losing at 1 / 30 Sec. or more, its horrors. The 17-85 mm, although effective, "only" 27-136 mm on the EOS-20d, but who has special value to a standard lens with a slight wide angle and telephoto sets with this set-lens operates very well. However, as this is a EF-S lens, it can only on the EOS 20d, the use of the new EOS 300d and 350d. It cans be any analog SLR or a digital SLR with full frame sensor will be used.
