I got my EOS 20D working today after the battery charger and two batteries arrived. I think I am going to like working with this camera. Just goes to prove that you don't have to have the latest gear. Canon EOS 20D, Canon Zoom EF 28-80mm 1:3.5-5.6.
I tend to agree you don't need the latest and it's the person behind the camera that make great images and perhaps a nice lens to go with it.
Thank you, Alex. Yes, I am pleased with it. Even more because the 20D was a gift and all I had to supply was a charger and a lens.
