Great camera, looks impressive from what I've seen.

Now get out there and find some nice cars, we need a hunter in the US.

hehe, keep pestering me, i'll be bound to post pictures of my sightings... yeah, i had a hard time choosing that i wanted this camera (the cost really, but i hope to be able to off-set it with earnings from energyrecoverysystems... and still be able to buy a 'vette... hopefully

anyway, as promiced some early test pictures:
please keep in mind, i just clicked some unkown setting for shutter speed/ quality/ ISO etc. and just chose a focus and snapped away... so these first shots will be CRAP even so, i can tell this will be simply amazing quality photos!

That puts my new 5.1MP camera to shame. Though I must say, Im not one for buttons and switches and levers so thats why I got the portable sony. Oh and my camera costed 500 not over 1k like yours lol.

There is a review here

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos20d/

which show pics taken with that camera like these ones (AMAZING)

LOL Im sure of that. If I were into fotography, then maybe it would be worth it. The only reason I have a camera is to take pics of my car and well, as you can see in the UGF thread, to do some nasty filming lol. Both things can be done with the one I have now.

The 20D is a very good camera, good choice definitely

In the first test pics, I see a strong need for a tripod, or steadier hand or just a faster shutter if light allows it
