Based on recent history, the next xxD will likely be announced next February, so what you need to decide is if you really need the improvements offered by the 20D over your DRebel today. Features like improved flash metering via ETTL-II, a larger and faster JPG frame buffer (40+ shots at 5fps), and a 33% increase in pixel count.
You might also consider a used 20D, which can cost as little as $1050 based on recent ones I've seen on the Fred Miranda Buy/Sell forum. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Michael Craghead > Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 1:36 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: EOS Question about 20d > > I know this is not the popular opinion but I would suggest > waiting for the ??D.
