Digital Camera Fiend - A Camera Review

The 8.2-megapixel Canon EOS 20D is a digital SLR camera released in 2004.

The 20D was so good that when Canon decided to upgrade it (the Canon EOS 30D) last year they made very few changes and kept the sensor and image processor the same on the new model!

The EOS 20D originally retailed for $1,499 (body only) but you can get one for a lot cheaper here.

Consumers saw it as an immediate improvement on the Canon EOS 10D. The EOS 20D offered a faster shutter (1/8000, compared to 1/4000), slightly better autofocus, higher megapixel count, and an instantaneous “wake up” from standby mode.

The Canon EOS 20D was popular with serious hobbyists and travelers who need a dependable, durable camera. A review from dcresource states that the camera’s magnesium alloy frame is well-built and rugged, while also allowing for a comfortable hand grip.

In fact, the reviewer found it hard to fault this camera, calling it the best digital SLR camera under $2,000.
