First-Step 20D system.JPG

Canon EOS 20D body, BG-E2 grip, EF-S 17-85mm f4.5-5.6 USM IS, EF 70-20lmm f4L USM, EF 1.4X II, Sigma EX 10-20mm f4-5.6 HSM.

My return to the Canon system. So far it focuses far better than the Maxxum 7D, and even a little better than the Maxxum 9. The exposure system is close to perfect. The detail produced by this camera and it's lenses is the most detailed I have ever seen. On the con side the sensor is a little bit noisy, and because it is CMOS, the highlights tend to blow-out and glow a little. But, overall this is best camera I have ever owned. The EF 70-200mm f4Lis far sharper than my old Tokina ATX80-20mm f2.8, and my old Canon FD 80-200mm f4. I never used to think that USM was a big deal, until I started using these lenses - they are so quick, quiet and smooth! the EF-S 17-85mm is amazing. Excellent bokeh, and some decent macro. I think the Canon IS works better than the Konica Minolta AS.

I had to give up a 10 lens system to get it, but it was worth it to raise the quality of my images.
