The Canon EOS 20D is the replacement for the EOS 10D DSLR which was introduced in February of 2003. While it has a similar look, the EOS 20D has upgrades and improvements in so many areas that it's difficult to decide which to mention first. Here are the salient new features:
- an 8.25 Megapixel CMOS sensor (1.6X cropping factor).
- 5 Frames per second shooting speed.
- shooting buffer of up to 23 large JPGs or 6 raw files.
- 1/250 sec flash sync.
- E-TTL II flash technology.
- Support for EF-S lenses.
- smaller size and lighter weight than the predecessor 10D.
- DIGIC II processer chip for faster operation.
- essentially instantaneous camera turn on.
- New "joystick" on back of camera.
Anyone looking for the benchmark of quality in a relatively affordable D-SLR with a lens should look at the high-end bundle with the image-stabilized 17-85mm EF-S lens.
