Well it appears that Canon is raising the stakes somewhat and taking a direct stab at the Nikon D70; I for one welcome this sort of stuff - competition is good - drives prices down. This might just be the year I make the jump. Maybe.

Why buy the 20D? Except for the crappy kit lens, this Digital Rebel XT looks to offer almost all of the same features at half the price.

I sometimes wonder if my 1D Mark II is overkill.
Nah. It doubles as a blunt weapon. I could knock a guy out with it and keep on shooting. |
