Camera Slr Review

Reviews on: Canon EOS 20D Digital SLR Camera?

Hi im wanting a camera for taking photographs of scenery in cumbria lake districts.
I’m new to it all. Is the Canon EOS 20D Digital SLR a good camera for this? I can get the body for £180.

It’s old, but definitely still potent. I’d rather have a 20D than any of the modern digital rebel/xxxD/xxD series. The 20D is in Canon’s line of semi-professional cameras, and therefore brings you a great deal more useablility with it’s robust alloy chassis, 5fps continuous drive, pentaprism viewfinder, secondary control wheel, and greater selection of custom functions including all important second curtain sync with onboard flash,

Originally the 20D usually is kitted with Canon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 II which wasn’t particularly spectacular lens. It isn’t easy to operate, and wasn’t particularly sharp and rather prone to vignetting and fringing was inconsistent.

Therefore it’s best to buy the camera body only and team it with the Canon 17-40mm f4L or a 24-105mm f4L IS both are formidable lenses from Canon’s L-series. Canon’s EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS is also a decent lens, but isn’t anywhere near as strong as the L’s.

You could also consider either the Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6, Canon’s EF-S 10-22, and Tokina 11-16mm lenses if you want extreme wide angle.

Also you may want a lens to pick a small bit of the environment out, and for that the 70-200mm f4L would do that job justice.

All of the lenses I’ve mentioned have distance scales, which are important to landscape photography, this allows you to focus on the hyperfocal point (you’ll want to print out a hyperfocal chart from the internet) which maximises the area of the image that is acceptably focused.

Furthermore you should spend some money on a decent high quality tripod, capable of supporting around 5kg.
