Thank you for the help! I think everyone who has responded said the Canon 20D is the way to go. I am thinking of going with the 30D. Any suggestions on...
I'm not dissin' on Olympus cameras, but they mislead me with their marketing lingo, and I went to that page, 2/3's of the marketing bullets are repetitive....
I think you would be happier if you waited for the 30D. That is what I am doing... I'm upgrading from the 10D. Can't wait until May. Thats when our local shop...
The 30D is not a huge upgrade from the 20D, still 8mp.... just a few new features... There was a much larger jump in features from the 10D to the 20D, you...
Greetings....I am a Canon Dealer. I have been one for over 30 years. If you are interested I have 20Ds and 30Ds. The 20D will be going away as soon as...
I have heard from the dealers that there isn't much differance between the 20D and the new 30D it has the same sinser. I just recently upgraded from the 10D to...
As long as you are buying your first Canon camera, get the 30D. Not worth it to upgrade from the 20D (would be if upgrading from the 10D), but definitely the...
I have to disagree with those people who say there is no major difference between the 20d and the 30d. There is one MAJOR difference and that is 1/3-stop film...
The differences: New features / changes compared to the EOS 20D Redesigned body (more EOS 5D like) Larger LCD monitor (2.5") Soft-touch shutter release button ...
Have been taking photos for 20 some years and have been using my 10D since 02 and am retiring from the military to pursue sports photography fulltime or as...
Rick, Can't think of a lot of reasons to get the 5D instead of the 30D! For sports photography, the 5D being full frame is a detriment, not a plus. The 1.6...
Unless you need full frame and 12 megapixel images, I know you can buy 2 - 30Ds for the price of 1 - 5D. In my opinion, the 30D is probably the best one. ...
Best indoor lens? LOL! If you can find one the 200mm 1.8 We have one in our arsenal and used it for the boys state basketball tournament last month and...
I would go with the 30D over the 5D. The 5D is GREAT for team shots and the like but it's slower than the 30D and would not be as useful for capturing those...
If you are willing to spend the money on the 5d, I would HIGHLY recommend going ahead and biting the bullet on a MK2n. You will not be disappointed. Seeing...
I am considering buying a canon 100-400. I would also like a 70-200 2.8. What would be the disadvantage of buying the 70-200 and a 2X teleconverter? Any...
The 2x teleconverter will result in you losing about two f stops, meaning you cant shoot the lens in "low" light situations without increasing your ISO. I...
I am a Canon Dealer. The "White" lens are designed to use the 2X extender with the loss of about 1 f stop. I am using the 75-300 lens with the extender and...
With a 2x converter, you loose 2 stops of light. This will take you from f/2.8 to f/5.6. With the 1.4 extender, a f/2.8 becomes f/4 What f/stop does the...
I use the 100-400 and it does an excellent job for those sports....get a good monopod because it does get heavy after awhile...highly recommend it...Rick...
We've used exposuremanager for 2 years now and can recomend it most highly. They charge a flat yearly fee of under $80. for UNLIMITED events and images, all...
I am considering upgrading from a Digital Rebel to the 20D. My question is this: Will the 20d give me sharper images? I have been frustrated by DR's "soft"...
