The 20D has been superseded by the 30D, a few improvements (same chip) and cheaper too.

Read about it here: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0602/06...anoneos30d.asp

Only available in Australia at the moment, but all reports so far are good.

New features at a glance:
  • Redesigned body (more EOS 5D like)
  • Larger LCD monitor (2.5")
  • Soft-touch shutter release button
  • AE/AF lock remains set if shutter is kept half-pressed between shots
  • Faster startup and wake from sleep times
  • Direct print button on rear of camera (woo!)
  • Spot metering
  • 100,000 shot shutter cycle
  • ISO selectable in third stop steps
  • ISO speed shown in viewfinder as you change it (still not once changed though)
  • Selectable 5 or 3 fps continuous shooting
  • PictureStyles instead of simple image parameters
  • 9,999 images per folder (instead of 100 as per the EOS 20D)
  • 15 menu languages (3 new)
