Re: EOS Received my 20D

Similar scenario here.
Canon 20D body + BG-E2 arrived today (on my birthday). I ordered back in 
August and got a relatively competetive price (for European customers at 
least).

My previous camera was the ElanIIe and BP-50
Same here (EOS 50e) but with EF 17-35 2.8 L, EF 24-85 USM, EF 75-100 IS USM, 
EF 50 1.8 II

My first impression:  wow, it's fast!
My first impression: Wow, that darn thing is heavy ;-)
Well, I just put the batteryt in the charger and went to work. Hope to have 
some time tonight to play with it.

I'd really like to get the BG-E2 grip for the vertical grip features since
I'll be shooting a lot of verticals soon.  But there is no financial
advantage to using the grip as was the ElanIIe's grip where you could use 
AA
batteries instead of 2CR5's.  The BP-50 paid for itself many times over
because of that.
Agreed. However I have big hands and hope that the BG-E2 will help handling 
the camera. Especially in portrait mode I'll prefer to have the additional 
shutter release.


I never used eye control focus on my ElanIIe because it was too slow for
true action.
I used it quite a lot but I had the feeling that it was slow and also 
slowing down the AF in general. I would be nice to have but definitely not a 
must.
