Canon's popular enthusiast APS-C DSLR — 8.2MP with DIGIC II and improved AF over the 10D.
The Canon EOS 20D was released in August 2004 as a mid-range APS-C DSLR, succeeding the 10D and positioned between the entry-level 300D and the professional 1D series. Featuring 8.2MP and 5fps continuous shooting, it was widely used for sports and event photography. Canon EF mount.
8.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor. DIGIC II processor. ISO 100-1600. 5fps continuous shooting. 9-point AF. Dual-mode LCD. CompactFlash recording. At approximately 685g. Canon EF mount.
The 20D improved on the 10D with higher resolution, faster frame rate, and DIGIC II processing. The 5fps burst rate was competitive for sports photography at its price point in 2004. As a 2004 APS-C design, high-ISO performance is limited by current standards. Succeeded by the 30D (2006) and 40D (2007).
On the used market the Canon EOS 20D is a vintage DSLR of limited current practical use. Condition checks: shutter actuation count, CF card slot condition, CMOS sensor for dust, LCD condition, battery health (BP-511A). Canon EF mount — compatible with all EF and EF-S lenses.
