Not sure on the difference but that will cost you about the same as a 20DA and atleast its new and you get a full warranty with the 20DA...but I am bias.

Mine was $2195 USD new

And to be honest..I didn't think that much of those widefield shot's anyway....but thats not the camera's fault.

Yeah I agree with you Tony, I'm in love with the 20Da.
The focus function is unique and although not as sensitive as a Huetch mod 20D, I still like the 20Da better.
The review in AS&T did it for me, good all round camera because you can still use it for day to day use too.

The Hutech modified 20D is a lot more sensitive at the red end of the spectrum than the 20Da and needs a screw on filter over the lens to achieve white balance for daylight photography.
