This one is for Ryno! If you put off today buying a camera waiting for this one to become affordable for you, once it does, something bigger and better will be out there. Go with the 20D if you have decided on the Canon line, as it is an awesome camera. I have personally played with the 20D and will be purchasing one just to be politically correct. And DM is right, it IS the person behind the camera not necessarily the camera that makes the image. Brenda :)
