I LOVE my Canon 20D

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems (More info?)

I have been using my Canon 20D DSLR for about a month now and cannot
begin to say how happy I am with it. It is built very sturdy, is easy
to use (although, I still need to sit down with the manual and spend
some time experimenting with the advanced features , and it takes
just some amazing pictures! I went from using one of the original
Canon Powershots to this, so maybe the quantum leap in technology is
what is contributing to my impression, but I highly recommend to anyone
in the market for a DSLR....check out the Canon 20D.

I have started to post some of my pictures and wanted to see what
people think of them...be kind, I am an amateur!

I, too, recently switched from a point-and-shoot to a DSLR.
It really is a world of difference.

The landscape shots are attractive. These are a good advertisement
for use of a tripod -- lots of fine detail. You did use a tripod,
right? Either that or your hands are a lot steadier than mine.

Sometimes it only makes sense to focus our attention on those
questions that are equal parts trivial and intriguing.

I'm an amateur too. But I try not to let that get in my way. :-)
Tomorrow morning I'm shooting some pictures which, I have reason to
hope, will find their way into print. Carry that tripod with your
head held high: "amateur" is a noble word meaning "lover", and also,
the line between professional and amateur is not so sharp.

Thanks for all of your comments - everyone...I appreciate you taking
the time to check out my pictures...

I will use many of the suggestions I received on my next trip to
Yosemite Valley...and this great book that I just got "The
Photographer's Guide to Yosemite" by Michael Frye...it looks like a
great handbook to take along on my next adventure there! Highly
recommend it....

Cheers!
