5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain way to learn Canon DSLR photography
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017
The Canon 20D came out in 2004, and it's rated by DxO as a 62. What's incredible is that Canon's 2013 18 megapixel Rebel T5i is only rated a 61, and that camera is still for sale as a new camera in 2017.

The 20D had just about every modern feature on digital DSLR cameras that are in the current models. There's a full control mode, adjustable parameters for image quality, lots of dials and buttons to set aperture, ISO, shutter speed, program shift, and exposure values. There's a usable built in flash. For learning the art of basic DSLR photography this camera is as useful today as it ever has been.

This 8.2 megapixel camera will print poster sized prints. It has the now famous "Canon colors". The images are beautiful and clean clear up through it's top ordinary ISO of 1600. There's no video, no live view, no extra bells or whistles, just all semi professional grade DSLR camera to shoot still images with. The continuous frame rate is five per second, and the autofocus works well.

This camera body cost $1,500 when new in 2004, and it shows it. It's made of magnesium. It's built like a tank. Best of all, it accepts every Canon digital DSLR lens ever made, both the EF and EF-S series.

You can buy a brand new 50mm EF f1.8 prime for this camera for $125 and go out and shoot gorgeous images.

There's not any cheaper way to find out if you like the Canon DSLR system. An excellent condition 20D body is only about $100 and if you upgrade to a newer body that has more features and will shoot at higher ISO speeds all your EF lenses will work on any Canon DSLR, and your EF-S lenses will work on all the crop sensor consumer grade cameras.

They use Compact Flash cards, so buy an adapter if you want to shoot SD cards. Batteries are still available, and cheap.

A great bargain, in learning photography with a Canon DSLR.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wrong charger and Camera does not transfer data
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2018
The camera body was in clean and decent condition. However, the charger that came with it was not compatible at all. Which had I not already owned this exact model, I would have been left in a bad place. Seeing as that I ordered this to use on a job. Now the camera it's self would not transfer data at all regardless of the cord I used. I was very disappointed in this order. These may seem like small issues but when doing a job they amount to huge problems. I will never use this seller in the future. Complete fail in my book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good upgrade from the Digital Rebel
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2004
I purchased the 20D as an upgrade from my Digital Rebel. The cost was certainly worth it.

This camera has many, many advantages to the Rebel (as I'm sure other reviewers will point out), but I thought three were worthy of mention:

ISO 1600 and 3200 have very, very low noise. This means that I am now able to get low-light shots that I never could before. For example, I often take pictures of crowded streets at night. Before, I needed to use a flash or else my shots would be blurred by camera shake and the motion of people walking. Now (with the help of a f1.8 lens) I can set the camera at ISO3200 and have the shutter speed be fast enough that I can get clear images. In fact, when I use the Black & White mode, the picture is virtually noise-free.

Rapid-Fire burst mode. When the "multi-shot" function is on, this camera fires like a machine gun. It also writes the images to the memory card much faster than the Rebel ever did. I shot a series of 25 shots in 5 seconds, and it still had them all on the card 6 seconds after I stopped shooting.

Black and White mode. Not just some toy feature, when you are saving as a JPG file (not RAW), the image is actully encoded as a B&W image--meaning a smaller file size. This means more shots per card, and also more shots being able to be held in the buffer. I was actully able to record 90 frames of B&W images (JPG-Large-Fine) at full speed (5 per second) without stopping (onto a 40x CF card).

Like I said before, I'm sure there are tons of other amazing features of the 20D, but I wanted you to know my favorites.

UPDATE: Over the past few months, there have been reports that the 20D locks up on occasion. I had that happen to me only once. Canon has posted a firmware upgrade on it's website that remedies this problem (as well as a few others). I upgraded, and have not had any problems since.
