I kinda doubt it.

I've only had two gripes about mine.

I did have it lockup on me before the new firmware upgrade was installed. This
is easily solved by removing the battery and putting it back in which takes 5
seconds.

Also, it may just be me but the sensor seems more prone to attracting dust than
the Totally Digital D60 did. I changed lenses on a windy beach on Maui and the
sensor was full of dust spots. Usually these aren't a problem unless you use
narrow apertures like f/11, f/16, f/22, etc.

Oh yeah, one other thing ... it is a bit louder than the D60. Tiger Woods is
gonna be ****ed.

Yes, I have one very serious concern about the D20.

That is: I don't have one and wish I did :-(

I got mine a couple of days ago and the new firmware was already in it.
Chances are that it will be in most of the cameras bought from now on, since
they are a hot item and sell pretty fast.

DDDD

I like a good solid click.

As for Tiger Woods, going by his previous hate for spectators, you had
better watch out!

Seconded!

I like what the camera can do. I like the resolution, features, low noise,
etc. But, I don't trust it. Mine died going from the 1.02 firmware to the
1.04 and I had to send it in to Canon to get it fixed. It still locks up. I
simply don't trust the thing. I hope that Canon gets the bugs worked out,
but if they don't I doubt I will use it much.

If you're afraid of little Tigey and his little wifey, get a Nikon F6. It
has a silent mode that is, well, nearly impossible to hear, even for the
shooter. It's amazing. Plus, you avoid all that digital nonsense like crop
factors, PF/CA, dust on the sensor, etc. I wish I'd known about film
earlier; I'd have never gone digital.
