What 20D features excite you most?

[dkw]

For me;

1) high precision cross type AF point. Apparently similer to 1DMk2 with 1/3 DOF accuracy for f2.8 lenses and faster

2) fast start-up

Couldn't care less about 8MP or 5fps

 

[SpitFir3]

the incredible shutter lag and the high read/write rate off CF cards..apparently faster than D2H

 

[zod]

ability to shoot and write simultaneously
USB 2.0 <-- :hearts: :vhappy:

really? how fast huh?

 

[ST1100]

i'd be keen if the high ISOs turn out clean, and the AF is not sometimes-hit-sometimes-miss like the 10D. Waiting for reviews.

 

[LimCB]

It's the latest toy. Why else?

It's the latest toy. Why else?

hahaha.... :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie: totally agree...

 

[nickmak]

Nothing much exciting for me... just got the 1DMKII... :bsmilie: But makes the Canon section of CS much much more lively! Especially today!

 

[imaginary_number]

For me:
1) Faster AF (coming from a D60, it's significant jump - have missed a number of shots in my paid shoots due to the relatively slow AF)
2) Cleaner images at the higher ISOs (ideal for some low-light stuff which I shoot).

The rest are bonuses.

Robgalbraith tested that the CF write speed for 20D with Sandisk Extreme can be as high as 5.636MB/s, that's faster than D2h (5.088MB/s) & 1D MKII (<4MB/s)

i think i should wait

 

[markism]

Many things... but the following ones are what's really tempting me to upgrade!

1) 5fps, 23 frame JPEG buffer (i enjoy shooting sports)
2) Ability to reach 16mm with 10-22 EF-S lens (i love ultra-wide angle FOV)
3) 0.2s startup time as compared to 2s+ on my 10D (very useful)
4) USB 2.0 (USB 2.0 card readers have often failed me and downloading off camera is too dang slow!)

Black & White mode

Also new is an in-camera black and white mode with digital color filters which work in the same way as a color filter would on black and white film. Additionally you can also apply a 'tone' to the black and white image (sepia etc.)



This should be quite fun to have.

 

[loupgarou]

I thought the only plus factor is low ISO noise (and its black).
5FPS but 6 frame raw buffer seems kind of sucky. and at 5.6mb/s write speed, writing a single raw file to disk takes at least 1.5 seconds.

however, must see how it fares with simultaneous read/write. wait for full review..

 

[Belle&Sebastain]

1st thing that excites me, 5fps, 23 buffer wow!
2nd thing is startup time
3rd thing is cleaner iso

the rest is superfical to me.

 

[kayaro888]

ELLT-2
5fps
9 AF point

 

[EzyOne]

23 frame buffer

 

[rainman]

Its $2k street price..haha (joking!)

 

[Kit]

Well, to sum it up.... its the latest.

 

[varf]

the startup time is what really tempts me, i've missed opportunities waiting for the 300D to awaken. after that, the improved autofocus sensitivity in low-light. and since i'd be upgrading from the 300D, AI Servo/One Shot selection.

which means to say, i can't quite justify buying one yet. :bsmilie:
