Key Advantages

The Canon EOS 20D offers an excellent balance of resolution and speed for semi-professional photographers.

Its robust magnesium alloy body provides durability and weather sealing for demanding environmental conditions.

Fast autofocus with 9 points and high frame rate shooting enhance action capture capabilities.

Advanced image processing with DIGIC II ensures superior image quality and color reproduction.

High ISO performance with expansion options provides flexibility in low-light shooting.

The compatibility with EF and EF-S lenses broadens creative possibilities for users.

Limitations

The 8.2-megapixel resolution, while adequate at release, is limited compared to modern digital cameras.

No live view function is present, which limits framing flexibility compared to newer models.

The rear LCD screen is limited to 1.8 inches with 118,000 pixels, offering relatively low resolution for image review.

The camera lacks video recording capabilities which are standard in modern DSLRs.

No built-in image stabilization means reliance on stabilized lenses or tripods is necessary for shake-free images.

The ISO range, although expandable, is constrained at higher sensitivities resulting in noticeable noise.
