I hear ya! When I got my 20D I was actually going through a couple of days where I just didn't feel like doing anything. It arrived and it sat in its box, unopenned, for a good 3 or 4 days. Heresy, I know! When I finally took it out of the box, enouraged by my fiance who said he'd get me a Lensbaby 2 when I took 100 pictures with the 20D, I was just blown away by it. The dynamic range is awesome, much better than the Rebel. The lack of noise at high ISO is also amazing. I am in love too and I wish I would have started using it earlier. Now I don't want to put it down :)

PS. BTW, he did buy me the Lensbaby 2....it's in the mail right now!

Maaaannnn.....lucky! (had a napoleon dynamite moment)
I've thought about upgrading to that....but it wouldn't be until taxes...so it's more of a play it by ear thing. Congratulations on the new goodie!!

:)

This is another I am proud of. This was shot with the new 35-350 lens I got from Mick. I took over 1000 action photos this past weekend.

The frames per second are amazing...I feel like Brooke Shields and her Calvin with my 20D ;)

I bought the Compact Flash 2 card (1 gig) - and my husband picked up a 512m Compact Flash 1 (for a backup) and I can tell you there was no noticable difference in the transfer speed/fps. There was a noticable difference in the transfer rate putting the images on the computer. Just some advice...from someone who would rather speed the extra money on lenses instead of memory cards.

Congrats!

thanks sherry...that shot is straight out of the camera..with no adjustments at all. It is sized down for my smugmug site.my site
09/26/2005 11:32:46 PM · #22
I see from your site that you do many action shots...I think you will be very happy with the performance, and if you do a day game you will be amazed at the shots.

Here is a shot I took a few weeks after getting the camera - Straight off the camera and no edits.


I'd love to see the shots from your first day game.
09/26/2005 11:36:47 PM · #23
Gotta love the 20D.... so glad I upgraded from the rebel!!!
09/26/2005 11:39:49 PM · #24

I'm so jealous! I'll hopefully have mine by Christmas and I can't wait! Your action shots look great!
