My friend had the 20D, very nice camera; I have its older brother the 10D. One thing though, these cameras do need good optics, I dont mean you need pro class lenses but the low end of the market don't IMO cut it with the DSLR sensors. On passed form I would expect Canon to announce the 30D (or whatever they are going to call it) late this year or early next year. 18 months seems to be about the norm from one generation to the next. Nothing is sacred in the modern fast moving world. Anyway, when you get your DSLR you wont regret it.

The Truth is Out There
