It's here! At last! Just took some shots of my faithful old Methodist church. I'll get them up this evening; off to read the manual right now LOL.
It feels so nice in my hands, sigh...

Cool Robert! You're really gonna have some fun. Isn't that thing lightning fast compared to the 300D? Or 10d :-P

I'm just lookin' at them in the viewing utility and zooming in and in and in and IN and there's no end to it. NOTICEABLY crisper than the 300D even at the same image parameters...
more to come.

Basically straight from camera with some USM dumped in (no in-cam-sharpening) and a little cropping out of the narrow format:
Gotta feed people, back in a hour.

Awesom shots. it's official now, I gotta get a DSLR.

And one more: no WAY I could get this shot without the 10-22 at 10mm. Freaking awesome foreground plus squared verticals...

Hey I'm more jealous of your 10-22 than the 20d :) I'm glad you included "at 10mm" in your text above so one can see for themselves the lack of distortion that thing has wide open. Don't you agree that 'actual focal length used' would be a useful bit of info to include below 'lens' in the Photograph Information box? I made that suggestion in the forums a few weeks ago for just such a case but it went nowhere... maybe the weight of your endorsement would get it done (that is, if you agree of course).
(edit: forgot how to spell endorsement:)

Yeah, an "actual" 10mm would be extreme even for me... Here's a grabshot (ISO 800 with the Nikon 5700) of the 10-22 mounted. Cool looking...
And, 4N4M, why would you be jealous of my 20D since you already hAVE one? LOL.

So now that you've got it...would you be up to taking some 1600/3200 ISO shots and posting those straight out of the camera? I'd love to see them, and you'd have to test it out sooner or later! :)

Sure. Actual low-light shots, daylight high speed, or both?

I'd love to see some high ISO low-light shots, but some high-ISO daylight ones would be cool as well. I'm thinking about upgrading sometime in the next year, and 20D is the current choice (depending on whether or not anything is realeased in the meantime) and being able to actually use the higher ISO's is a large part of that consideration.

Tamron 17-35mm 2.8-4 on 20D, Handheld, 1/60sec f/4 ISO-1600, about two feet from glass, only light in room was aquarium lighting and incidental light from doorway to outside (Birch aquarium San Diego)
Will add 100% crop in a few...
