  Strengths: Decent build quality for money, nice image quality and great speed

  Weaknesses:Camera shuts down when changing CF cards, LCD could be brighter and larger

  Overall Evaluation: Very nice and quite solidly built for the money. It produces very good images and acceptable noise at high ISO settings. The crop factor of 1.6 actually helps when photographing sports; that 70-200 becomes a 112-320 and 5fps is also a quite fast. Crop factor actually can be a blessing, in that you will get quite good results using consumer grade or knock-off glass, as the crop takes the edges out of the equation. However, wide-angle lovers who dislike the 1.5 crop of Nikon, will hate the 1.6 of the Canon 20D. Wide-angle enthusiasts are almost "forced" to use a 10mm-22mm from Canon or a similar product from Tamron or Sigma, as a 14mm 2.8, costs 2K+ and is a 22.4 on this body. White balance is good to very good but lags behind 1DS and 5D, but the 20D is a fraction of the price. It has been very easy to use and produces the best results in a sub $1500 camera. Has a great feel in the hand and relatively easy to use. I love the fast focus of this camera using USM lenses and excellent image results with L series glass. It is a great backup and com;liment to my 5D. While not perfect, a very fine result on its merit and worthy of its price.

  Strengths: Fast to turn on, focus, shoot, write. Excellent picture quality

  Weaknesses:Cleaning due to the ability for dust to get into the sensor area - but there are kits out there which help here. I've purchased a kit from http://www.pbase.com/copperhill/ccd_cleaning

  Overall Evaluation: I've had my 20D for a few months now, taken over 2000 shots in various settings, using the built-in flash, or EX-580 external, and just about every other configuration I can think of. This is one great camera! Speed is the primary contribution for me, coming from an Oly E-20, which took fantastic pictures for a good 5MP camera, but was S-L-O-W at write times and focus for the second shot while writing. I'd thrown several shots away during candid photos due to the camera not focusing properly. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a fantastic DSLR.

  Strengths: Picture quality , sensor size .

  Weaknesses:Autofocus should be beter and faster , any time you changeyour lens your camera is in jepardy!

  Overall Evaluation: I`m able to axept everything from this camera , but this camera can`t take any dust , your lens should stay on for ever or your sensor will catch some dust in no time and your pictuters will have not funy spots. Canon must do something about it!!

  Strengths: super fast shutter & focusing, excellent exposure calculation. raw format photos. sips batteries.

  Weaknesses:the only flaw I can think of is that when shooting my nose smudges the lcd screen.

  Overall Evaluation: I've been using my Canon 20D professionally for the past 10 months, mostly corporate headshots & product shots and couldn't be happier. the quality of the raw images produced is as good as, if not better than what i was previously receiving from my photographers using EOS 1DS' (costing 4x the price). I've added the vertical grip (canon BG-E2) and it's dual batteries have an astronomically long life (I honestly can't remember the last time I charged them).
