Canon 20D and new lenses - official

Here is the announcement
http://www.usa.canon.com/templatedat...9_eos_20d.html
I think I'm about ready to make the jump to digital with a camera that is
1500 for the body and will have 3 EF-S wide angle lenses that will fit it.
With the 17-85 IS lens the camera comes to 2Grand -- which is well under the
amount I spend on film and processing in two years. There is also a lens
starting at 10mm - but it is pricy and only goes to 22mm. Here is the
release on the lenses:

There is also a new flash:

for those who are into them.

I think you're making a wise decision, Tony. The 10D is a good enough
camera that it has pretty much retired my film bodies, & the 20D looks
to be quite a big improvement on the 10D. So far, the most useful (ie;
unbiased, "warts & all") review I've seen of the 20D is the one on Rob
Galbraith's site:

The only thing I can find to bitch about on the 20D is the tiny buffer
for RAW shots.

Agreed. Six shots just doesn't cut it at 5fps.
You can't even shoot an entire golf swing using RAW mode since the golf swing
takes about 2 seconds. I guess I could get 2 20Ds, though.

On the plus side, the 20D offers enhanced White Balance adjustments. You can
really dial the correct WB setting in when shooting in JPG mode, which might
make this option more attractive. One of the main benefits to shooting in RAW
mode is the ability to fine tune the WB at conversion time.

I have been trying to decide on a lens for the Canon 10 d and from what I am
reading, since I am new at this, Most of the lenses on the market are soft,
Canons , Sigmas, Tamrons, on and on except the L glass from Canod. If so
what good is a 8 mp Camera if the lenses will not take advange of it.

Only if you insist on using zooms, and then shooting them wide open.
