Its really really horriable, however if you send the camera straight to me Ill go though it for you.
I should have it back, oh, around this time next year and it will be all set to go with no worries about it working right first time.

I'll even do it for free

sure thing

Just need to pick up a few lenses in a few months. the shit lens that it comes with will have to hold me over until i pay off my card (2-3 months I hope).

I'm thinking about getting the EF-S 10-22. it's around 700 bucks.

I can only afford to get one lens at a time and since it comes with an 18-55mm (shitty one at that) I need to go wide and tele but wide is much more imporant to me now.

anyone know of any quality lenses that are comparable to or better than the EF-S 10-22? I'm looking to get as wide as possible, but that doesn't mean shit if it doesn't look good.

If you are in the same dilema that I was.... I've got the 20D now and wow.... all I can say is wow. it's like a mini 1D Mark II. Get it, your credit card will get paid off....

SWEET!!!!!

Now lets see if you know how to use it!

[tazdev]

sorry to dredge up an old thread but I am looking at upgrading from my little sony dsc-p5 (that has treated me well over the past 4 years) to the cannon EOS 20D.
How have you found this cameras ease of use etc. sample pics?

Iv used several of them now, and they are simply FANTASTIC!

Your DSC will look like an Austin A30 compared to an Ferrari ENZO 20D.
There are only 2 cameras on the market that are better, one is the Canon 1Ds MKII and the other is the 1D MKIIn.

ISO 1600 performance

my first try at panning.... still learning how to use the camera

[my3rdskyline]

there are many more players in the game now though.
20D
5D (full 35mm sensor)
Nikon D200
Canon 350D/Rebel XT

lots of good camera's out there. read up. read for a long time before you do anything. and pay attention to where you put your money in glass. it's a lifetime investment. your camera isn't but the glass should be. do it right the first time.

My friend owns a Canon 20D and he enjoys it. It takes great pics but I prefer to use Nikon since I have a Nikon Coolpix 7900 and Im buying a DSLR from my birthday money. IM plannign on getting the D70s since people say its one of the best out there but I see more people use the Canon 20D. I think what you should do is try some DSLRs out for a little "test drive" and see which one you like the best.

Eos 20d

[Moppie]

I had a play with a 5D and a 12-24mm Sigma the other day.
Talk about WIDE ANGLE! WOW!

[tazdev]

guess what I brought today

got it with the 18-55mm lens and an A3 canon bubble jet printer. Can't wait till the batterys charged.

I wish I had the money for a dSLR, but I LOVE my film SLR. Yashica FR-II. Great camera, nice solid body.

Mainly what I would want is a full manual mode and a good 1:1 macro lens. So, any recomendations, I'm open.
