The Canon EOS 20D digital camera is the semi-professional digital SLR to deliver all the speed, precision and
flexibility synonymous with high-end film SLR cameras - plus a whole lot more.
FEATURES
8.2 MP
5 fps with up to 23 frame burst
9-point AF
DIGIC II
E-TTL II distance-linked flash
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed/Video Out
Magnesium alloy body
Compatible with Canon EF/EF-S lenses and EX Speedlite flashes
A rugged magnesium alloy body provides the first clue that the Canon EOS 20D digital camera is no ordinary camera. Canon's
award-winning CMOS technology delivers outstanding image quality and 8.2 Megapixel resolution.
The DIGIC II architecture drives blistering 5fps continuous shooting with a maximum burst of 23
frame JPEG images, class-leading colour rendition accuracy, quick start-up times and rapid
display and zooming of images during in-camera review. JPEG and RAW files write simultaneously
with no loss of performance.
Focus
9 auto focus points are carefully distributed across a wide area of the frame for fast,
accurate focusing, even with off-centre subjects and particularly with 'rule-of-thirds'
compositions.
Distance-linked flash
The E-TTL distance-linked flash algorithm takes factors such as lens distance information
and ambient light readings into account for accurate flash metering, even in circumstances
such as recomposed shots, or where high or low reflective objects appear in the frame. The
camera is compatible with the entire EX-series Speedlite flash range. This includes the
580EX, which transmits colour temperature information for improved colour stability and
auto zooms to match the camera�s APS-C sensor size.
Lens mount
The EOS 20D is compatible with more than 60 Canon EF lenses, including Canon's EF-S lenses. Built
with the EOS 20D photographer in mind, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS
USM cover popular wide (approx. 16-35mm) and standard (approx. 27-136mm) ranges in the 35mm equivalent.
Full control
An extreme high (3200 ISO) setting extends the camera's wide 100-1600 ISO speed range. Both
sRGB and Adobe RGB colour spaces are supported. Digital Photo Professional image processing
software permits high-speed processing of lossless RAW files.
Connectivity
The EOS 20D's USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection enables fast download of images to the computer.
PictBridge compliant, the camera supports direct printing to any compatible photo printer.
It takes both CF and CF-II cards, including cards of over 2GB capacity.
Online sharing
Free membership is included to Canon's online CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, with 100 Megabytes of
free storage space for online album storing and sharing. Users can upload images to the
site and direct clients, friends and family to secure online 'albums'.
