Conclusion: Undocumented fact: limited CF-card capacity


Review: Canon considers memory card capacity a deep dark secret. You can look for it, but you won't find it. The 20D will support an 8GB CF - MAX.

You can buy a larger CF - but you can't write more than 8GB. If you format it, you'll discover its size has been reduced to 8GB. (You can use a partition editor like Linux's gparted to resize the partition table back up - but you shouldn't have to.)

So stop eyeing those 16- and 32GB CF cards. Since you're limited to 8GB, you can spend the difference on faster write speeds. And more of them...

Conclusion: First step into 'high-end' cameras


Review: I bought this camera my tool for learning about digital photography. It has been very easy to use and a great learning tool. As with any camera, the lens makes a big difference in the photographs you take. The lens this comes with is okay for a generic starter, but you will quickly want to invest in a more high-end one based upon the type of photography you want to do. It is compatiable with the older Canon lenses, so that has been a plus.

Conclusion: Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera


Review: Even with all the new cameras out there in the market, I still love my Canon EOS 20D. Unless I accidentally drop it and break it, it is still the camera of choice for me. But if you are buying one for the first time, shop around, there are some nicer cameras, for less than what I paid for this one, that work just a good if not better.

Conclusion: Nice As Long as it Does Not Break


Review: 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.

Conclusion: very very over priced


Review: 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!!!
