Canon 20D: Full dpreview

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos20d/

Phil is becoming sloppy with many errors and omissions.

I couldn't find the low-light AF focus test.

Or shot to shot time using single shot in raw after the purposely
restricted 6 shot buffer.

The centre focus cross type sensor does operate with aperture f5.6
as well as f2.8. At F2.8 the sensor uses different elements giving 3
times the accuracy.

No mention of lens used in today's samples gallery. I didn't bother to
explore the EXIF data.

Pity the shutter/mirror are so loud. It would have been an ideal camera
for use in available light work during live performances in theatre.

The response from Nikon will be fascinating. Trouble is a long time to
hang on for. Release at the PMA show but not available until later on year.

Nikon have promised 5 tiers of DSLR cameras. D70 entry level - just been
reduced to £780ish including the excellent !8-70mm lens (this lens would
be classed as an L class lens in Canon speak as it incorporates 3 ED
elements)

The D100/D200.

A New semi-pro camera.

Then the D1/D2 series.

Then what?

The review has now been amended adding lens used for sample pics.

As long as the sponsorship funds keep flowing, who cares?
