Details on the Canon 20D:

Overview (As per Canon)

Professional photographers and advanced amateurs will be astonished with the incredibly sophisticated abilities of the Canon EOS 20D digital SLR. With a large 8.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor (APS-C size) and the DIGIC II image engine, the EOS 20D delivers high-speed image processing, outstanding resolution and natural color reproduction. A high precision, 9-point Wide-area AF with a dual precision sensor lets you easily focus on off-centre subjects. You may never miss a shot again; the EOS 20D boasts outstanding speed at 5 fps for up to 23 consecutive frames (JPEG) or 6 frames (RAW) and 0.2 second start-up time. Record your images in any of six JPEG quality modes, RAW mode, or RAW and JPEG mode simultaneously - then quickly download them via USB 2.0 Hi-Speed. Plus, you can select to record your images in either sRGB, Adobe RGB color mode or the new black and white modes. Other features include E-TTL II for stable flash exposures and improved White Balance compensation. The EOS 20D, which is smaller and lighter than the EOS 10D, is enclosed in an elegant magnesium body, combining toughness with sophistication. Rugged, fast and compatible with the entire EOS line of lenses and accessories, the EOS 20D marks another huge leap forward in digital SLRs.
