Professional Reviews of the Canon 20D

  • 5 out of 5
There's so much to like about the 20D, I don't know where to start (DC Resource - 5/9/05)

Effusive praise for the Canon EOS 20D, noting its "excellent" build quality, "first rate" performance, and "ultra smooth" image quality. Grudging complaints include lack of FireWire support, and an AF-assist light that uses the camera's flash. read original review

the Canon EOS 20D is *highly* recommended! (Imaging Resource - 5/9/05)

Canon has certainly set a new benchmark for what an enthusiast dSLR should be (Steve's Digicams - 10/15/04)

The verdict is in, and the Canon EOS 20D is a winner! The many improvements over the Canon 10D include: higher resolution, less noise at high ISO, faster startup time, at shorter shutter lag. If you're a serious photographer, the Canon 20D deserves serious consideration. read original review
