Pros and Cons of the Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera

Cons of the Canon EOS 20D Minimal weather-resistance Automatic white balance under tungsten light produces images with too much yellow, particularly in skin tones The 1.8" LCD monitor is too small - especially compared to the competition Near-focusing with wide angle lenses may be inconsistent (camera may not focus closely enough) Image appearance controls for color and contrast (parameters) limited to five steps Bounce flash with the Canon 580EX improved but still not consistent enough for those who absolutely need accurate and consistent bounce flash performance Relatively obtrusive shutter release (the mirror slapping up and back) sound disturbs wildlife, wedding and other candid photography Image sensor smaller than 35mm frame results in the "lens focal-length multiplier" effect of 1.6x (which some consider an advantage) Flash-sync limited to 1/250th (but with Canon's HSS feature you can go faster)

Pros of the Canon EOS 20D More consistent auto focus accuracy than predecessor Rapid start-up time and buffer/card write speed Low shutter lag time Excellent battery life Larger sensor maintains low noise with higher resolution and high ISO (800-3200) settings 5 frames per second capture speed, up to 23 frames at JPEG quality High image review magnification (zooming) for checking focus, etc. Improved flash metering with 580EX Speedlites Good overall color balance, light skin tones fairly accurate, dark/black skin a little less accurate PC terminal for use with studio lighting equipment
