I have that was the first thing I did. The new one does the same thing.

If what you say is true "John Doe". Why have you not taken your camera
back and had it replaced under Canon's 14 day replacement policy? Maybe if
you let someone know exactly what your problem is(the camera one I mean),
you might get some advise.

Anyone who has a problem with a Canon DSLR can have it replaced, any time
up to 14 days after buying it. Provided of course the "problem" is not
caused by another manufacturer's lens or accessory and can be reproduced
on request.

I'll bet there are plenty of jokers out there trying to make old Tamron
and Sigma lenses which never entirely worked with EOS cameras anyway, work
on 20Ds and lock them up. No warranty there.

Your top-posting and lack of snipping makes it a bit difficult to
understand what remark you're responding to. However, assuming it was
about Canon's 14 day replacement policy, you seem to be either
unfortunate or the lens(es)/Battery pack cause the issue.

I've recently bought two 20Ds, and both do fine, you've tried two 20Ds
and both have problems. What's the pattern here? Also, you suggest in
other posts that you and others have post 1.05 problems, however I'm
unable to find them. Maybe you can point them out?

Sure there seem to be occasional lens contact errors (never
experienced one myself), but those are not related to the early
lock-up issue. Lens contact issues have existed forever, and they
always will. I do think there is a poor contact issue with the
optional Battery pack, but that's not firmware related either.

The only lens I have is the EF-S 18-55 that came with the camera. If it has
problems with the body then again this is a Canon problem. One would only
expect problems with non Canon lenses because if Canon can't make the
products backwards compatible with their own lenses then they are trully
screwed.

As for the problems try the dpReview forums. There are good number of posts
their with people with the 1.05 firmware still having lock-ups.

Maybe those cameras will need servicing. I have a 20D that came with
1.05 already installed, and have had no lockups after about 2000 images,
and scores of lens changes (about 12 different lenses). If it were to
start locking up about every 2000 images, I would consider that trivia.
dead batteries and full CF cards will cause many more lost shots than a
rare lockup.
