Oly for under $200?
Yeah, that's cheap. Great if your a buyer, but sucks if your selling to upgrade.
Typical of a used 20D 2 full generations old now and still going for more than twice the Oly body.

| Yes, but the 20D comes with a 'MAMAL'. I'd willingly pay loads for one of those. |

The Canon 20D was also more than twice the price of the Oly E-500 when they were both initially released. The Oly an entry level camera and the Canon a step above that was used by many pros. In the Canon auction you've posted above, take away the memory card and MAMAL (whatever the heck that is) and you'd probably see that both cameras have lost near equal value. A quick Ebay comparison of completed auctions between the Olympus E-1 and Canon 10D shows both sold for +/- $300 which would mean the Canon actually lost more in value as it was $2000 upon its release in 2003, as opposed to $1700 for the Oly, also released in 2003 with similar specs.
I don't know what you have against Olympus cameras but I see you've bad mouthed them in a number of threads. I wonder how much you actually know about Olympus cameras and the 4/3rds concept. Every camera system has strong and weak points and there's very little difference between aps-c and 4/3rds.

| Wow, not sure that calling out Prof Fate about anything he said about Oly cameras is a good thing. Just my opinion. as far as Olys, well not sure about the 4/3 system myself, however the one thing that really catches my eye with the Olys is that they capture the best browns. They are always rich in color and texture. |
