Brendan Joyce's review of Canon EOS 20D

“I am generally pleased with the Canon EOS 20D digital...”

★★★★☆

written by Brendan Joyce on 31/12/2005

Good Points
Generally excellent quality, and extremely versatile

Bad Points
Images have blotches, which I suspect is dust and other matter adhering to the sensor. In spite of religiously following cleaning instructions and being super careful changing lenses, the problem has not been fixed.

General Comments
I am generally pleased with the Canon EOS 20D digital camera, but have not got the results I expected when using manual and creative modes, despite computer processing.



The 17-55mm lens it came with is okay, but by no means top quality. You need to buy more lenses if you are serious about this camera.



I am not impressed with the rubber cover for the USB and video links, as I think this could perish in time. The biggest problem however, seems to be dust on the sensor. I was disappointed to find loads of photo's taken in Sicily spoilt by blotches. I was reasonably successful in doctoring them on Adobe, but it was a pain. In spite of following the cleaning instructions, the problem has persisted, and it has gone back to Canon for a proper look and clean. I now gather that this is an issue with this camera. Not good if you need to change lenses regularly while using the camera in different situations, only to find that the DIY cleaning process is not effective. I wouldn't say this should necessarily put you off an otherwise excellent camera, but beware.
