Canon 20D, I was contemplating the idea of getting the 5D but realized its not so much better than the 20D, considering the price (5k$).

The only difference in Canon EOS cameras is the number of M pixels.
I couldnt care less about 5D... waste of money, unless u really need these fkn huuuuuuuuuuge posters! lol

20D is THE ideal camera for semi-professional photographer

House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...

or the full frame use, which is great for super wide lenses.

I'd actually take the 30D now over the 20D...it's almost the same camera but a large LCD and some minor adjustments. Should have been called 20D MKII but that's just my 2 cents

I don't think it's just mpixels tho...there's ISO sensitivity, speed, build quality, the amount of focus points and other manual options

the most important thing for me was iso sensitivity and noise levels.

and believe it or not, the 5d and 20d/30d are exactly the same, some tests even show a slight advantage for the 20d/30d...

so its not worth it, i'll wait for a complete new generation of sensors hopefully in the next year or two.

oh, excuse me. lol
have u ever used or been thinking about setting the Sensitivity @ 3200?!
i dont think so. the amount of focus points? yes, maybe 9 vs 3 makes a difference if u dont know how to use the manual focus! sepia mode? jokes
build quality? no major differences!

hehe
im not trying to be snobby, just a little bit sarcastic

I mean that there's less noise usually with the higher end cameras especially compared to mine which is a rebel XT.

SNOB!

The 5D is generally larger too - I personally think 350D is way too small - i have big hands and sometimes it's just plain uncomfortable - not that much different than the 20D tho.
