Does what I need and then some...
This is my first DSLR, and it's doing everything I need and then some. Solid build, great grip. I bought it used from a friend who's been a photog for many years. It's served him well for over 2.5 years; the stuff he's take on it is simply amazing. Solid camera!

A has-been camera.
I can't believe a seller expects to get nearly nine hundred dollars for this outmoded camera, when the more modern and much better Canon 40d can be had for the same, or less money. Take a few minutes to do a little research before falling for the first camera that tickles your fancy! This camera has only 8.3 MP, my cheap point and shoot has the same. Also, this camera is way behind on the features you will find on most of todays DSLR's that cost less.

Undocumented fact: limited CF-card capacity
Canon considers memory card capacity a deep dark secret. You can look for it, but you won't find it. The 20D will support an 8GB CF - MAX.
You can buy a larger CF - but you can't write more than 8GB. If you format it, you'll discover its size has been reduced to 8GB. (You can use a partition editor like Linux's gparted to resize the partition table back up - but you shouldn't have to.)
So stop eyeing those 16- and 32GB CF cards. Since you're limited to 8GB, you can spend the difference on faster write speeds. And more of them...

First step into 'high-end' cameras
I bought this camera my tool for learning about digital photography. It has been very easy to use and a great learning tool. As with any camera, the lens makes a big difference in the photographs you take. The lens this comes with is okay for a generic starter, but you will quickly want to invest in a more high-end one based upon the type of photography you want to do. It is compatiable with the older Canon lenses, so that has been a plus.

Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera
Even with all the new cameras out there in the market, I still love my Canon EOS 20D. Unless I accidentally drop it and break it, it is still the camera of choice for me. But if you are buying one for the first time, shop around, there are some nicer cameras, for less than what I paid for this one, that work just a good if not better.
