8.2 M Pixel, With Lens EF 18-55mm f3.5-5.6

A state-of-the-art, digital SLR that has features to satisfy most professionals as well as keeping advanced amateurs engaged. Canon continues to raise the bar with the new EOS 20D.

Even though the 20D is priced way below CanonÆs flagship dSLR, the EOS 1Ds, it still packs an impressive array of features derived from the EOS 1D Mk.II into a rugged metal casing that will satisfy all but the most demanding professionals.

Replacing the acclaimed EOS 10D, the new 20D adds extra resolution (30%), extra speed (40%), an uprated DiG!C II image processor plus EF-S compatibility for CanonÆs new range of budget AF lenses plus a - all this in a slightly smaller, lighter package.

The 20D is now fully across some of the earlier issues of digital SLRs, namely poor low light focussing and image noise thanks to the new signal processor. White balance (WB) has always been a bit tricky with CMOS equipped dSLRs so it pays to familiarise yourself with the WB settings on your camera. EOS dSLRs have up to nine WB presets for shade, cloudy, fluro lights etc. The 20D even allows WB bracketing!

Minor gripes include a poor fitting on the optional BG-E2 grip and lack of compatibility with earlier grips ie BG-ED3. You will also find buying one a bit difficult initially.
