Hi Lockups aren't limited to 20D's. My Elan7e has the same problem. When it locks up, the display looks normal but nothing happens. The only fix it to turn it off, remove the lens, reattach the lens and turn it back on. Just turning the power on/off doesn't fix it, even removing the battery doesn't fix it, but removing the lens does fix it. The problem isn't temperature related, since it happens in winter & summer (more often in the winter though). At least it only happens once every couple of months. The only lens it locks-up with is my 100-400L, although this is my most often used lens so it's hard to know if it's a problem with lens. I sent both units to Canon for repair and they sent it back with "no fault found". Weird or what?!?!?!
