Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
Customer Review: Terribly made and pictures are too soft
Summary: 1 Stars
I am very disappointed with the Canon 20D. My first disappointment is with the sharpness of the pictures. I've tried all kinds of combinations for the auto and manual functions, but most pictures came out soft around the edges of the subjects. The Nikon D70 takes much better and sharper pictures. I was actually willing to put up with the softness because of the fast sutter speed, but then came the second disappointment. It's actually a shock more than anything else -when I changed the camera lens for the first time, the lens release button fell out and wouldn't stay in place unless I tape it down. This should never happen on a $1,400 camera! What a mistake in buying the Canon 20D! I'm returning the camera for a refund.Customer Review: Picture Quality Poor
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used several digital point and clicks... I've also use an Olympus C5050. I've been wanting to upgrade to a Digital SLR and believed the great reviews. I've been terribly disappointed with the pictures... all seem far to dark and dull. Doesn't seem to mater which lens or what type of lighting. I'm checking with Canon to see if maybe there is a problem with the camera... if not, I would say this is an awful investment. If you have time to work in the advanced modes, maybe you can find a setting that takes clear, crisp picture; but if you are using in any of the basic modes, you have no control over the results.Customer Review: Nice As Long as it Does Not Break
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased the Canon 20D and it broke after only 4 months. The pictures were great. The camera just stopped working one day for no apparent reason (no power). We sent it to Canon and they want $800 to repair it. We actually bought another Canon as a backup and it broke also (the lense mechanism jammed). So not only are both Canon's broken for different reasons, Canon is very uncooperative about fixing them. Canon's warranty is not very good.
End result: We are missing pictures of our just born baby girl, and Canon is requesting $800. So we're doubly penalized, despite having a backup plan.
Customer Review: No support for 64 bit
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't believe they still don't have support for 64 bit operational systems. I can't use my EOS20D with any of the newer computers that have Vista 64 or Windows 7, and it is been years since they came out. Terrrible support.
