Hi Terry,The Scorpious image is just,well unbelievable it's amazing what the 20da can do in 6 mins, I have tried on many occasions to get this area with film and after 60mins still have nothing to show for it.
I have seen some fantastic images in this forum from the 300d and 350d.I think that the 20da takes a more natural colour shot, certainly it comes at a price. A $1000.00 price difference is a lot of money but it does allow for good images straight from the camera, take a look at the M42 widefield shot and then remember this is unprocessed
I think that the dark sky site helped with this shot ,I didn't get a chance to try the 20da under light polluted sky I think it may well do a very reasonable job as Tony (striker) is showing.
I think Canon got it right with the 20da but it seems you can't please everyone.there are owners in Japan who want Canon to change the filter they use to allow more HA
through as the Hutech cameras do.
The fact that Canon have released the camera in the US makes me think that there won't be too many major changes but my Japanese friend is telling me to wait before buying.If Canon do make any changes this may well put the 20da out of reach of many buyers.
cheers
David.
