A "long term love story"? Oh, that sounds really serious. But don't worry about dreaming of your cam .. guess we all have our minor problems lol Oooops ... but you don't get me wrong, do you? :-) Why am i selling mine? I don't like cams without this ... how is it called in english? You can turn the cam by 90 and have a second trigger plus some more buttons to conveniently shoot that way? For the 20D there's this battery grip (BG-E2) having this feature. I like the much improved handling a lot - especially with heavy lenses such as the 85 1.2. But right with those, there's a big problem with the power-connection between grip (that contains the batteries) and cam .. sometimes the cam believes that the batteries are empty which they in fact are not. Taking them out and reinserting them helps for a short time .. but that's so annoying. Imagine reinserting your batteries after 3 - 5 shots .. over and over again. To emphasize this: that will NOT happen when shooting in a normal way without moving all to fast or when shooting with "normal" lenses. But having the cam vertically or upside down, pointing from the bottom upwards (what i do a lot when shooting kids) and having the 85 1.2 on it (to avoid having to use flashlights), it happens all the time. Also, while working on a tripod, it's very hard to point the cam to one special point when she moves a little bit after releasing her .. like falling down into the grip. Only a millimeter or two, but enough to make composition difficult. The only option is to remove that grip everytime when a tripod comes into play. Annoying once again, isn't it? There are some more minor points, e.g. with shooting birds in flight when the AF Servo is less than perfect (may also be my fault) and times, when 5 fps just aren't enough. But these are really minor to that annoyance above. So i've decided to get me a 1 D Mark II N. Will have to wait some months ... but i guess she's well worth some waiting. I believe all those critique on the 20D doesn't apply to your kind of photography so i'm very sure, this will be a long term love story. So i'm still happy for ya! Have a great time with that Cam Pascale .. can't wait to see your first serious images done with her! Tom
