I have an EOS 3 and the 20D is no way near the build quality or has the capabilities of an EOS 3. The EOS 3's weather sealing is much better than that of the 20D. The fact alone that the 20D has a integrated flash and a command dial prevents it from being so well sealed. Furthermore, the EOS 3's build quality is superior. As far as capabilities are concerned, the 20D has no true spot metering. All semi-pro Canon bodies had it (if we consider the EOS 5 to be semi-pro, which is arguable). I'm sure that if we look close to the 20D and EOS 3 specs, we'll find more differences. There is not only a price gap between the 20D and the 1D but also a specifications gap. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
