AP quoto me $2600 Body only. I guess the price drop already :bsmilie:

hmm... is it for a gray set or a local warrantied one?

seems to be gray from what I heard, meaning no local Canon warranty.
 

In my opinion, I think the loudness of the shutter is acceptable.

i think it is too, given the fact it's an SLR and it is already quieter than most. i handled one at the launch as well as a friend's.

personally, the problem with the shutter for me is not the sound but the feel of the mirror slap that goes with the shutter. i'm not sure what on earth Canon changed inside the 10D, but the entire experience feels cheapened. Not to disparage the very capable 300D, but the shutter sound and mirror slap of the 20D now feels exactly like that of a 300D - the kickback is tangibly felt, and it's not the solid, stable kick feeling of the 1v, but a whimpy feeeling. i am actually led to believe the camera shakes more than the 10D with each shutter release and mirror slap.

the 10D on the other hand has a very solid feel to the shutter and mirror slap mechanism.

other than that of course, the 20D improved on almost every aspect over the 10D :)

Oh no that might stop me to sell away my <3 months old 10D if it is true for the above mention.
 

that'll help you save money till you upgrade to 1 series.

Not suitable in church and orchestra theater. :nono:
 

Can anyone relate the sound of 20D mirror slap to EOS 3 one? Is it as loud as EOS 3?

The super loud mirror slap of EOS 3 feels solid tho... :D altho very annoying in sensitive environment... :sweat:
 

sound like 20D really got a lot of problems. It stop me from buying my first digital camera :bsmilie:
i think the main problems is the sound. if it is too loud, it might affect those insect and animals shoot :D
these are the most interesting shoot :think:

hi personally own the 20D and it is true tt shutter is on the loud end and imo have a high chance of scaring those animals away when you are shooting close. More of birds i feel in a constricted env with limited distance btw you and the bird and an extremely quiet surrounding.

Another bad scenario with the 20D is in a piano concert etc. Or a theatrical setting where ambience noise is not appreciated.

For insects hard for me to comment because i forgot if they have ears or not haha... ;p

no worries. insects are deaf.
 

i'm going to get my 20D next month. will there be stock by then?
 

stocks come and ago. better you check when you're buying or reserve a set in advance.
 

i just came back from KL. walked in and asked only 1 shop and was quoted 5800 for kit and 5700 body only. That works out to only 2557 with today's exchange rate of 2.268....sigh.....dare not ask other shops or bargain if not heart pain :cry:

for the amount you pay in sg, you can buy there and enjoy your holiday (3d 2n) for "free" haha
warranty wise, i was told johor got canon also .... need to be confirmed :)

juz for info
 

If sound could be an issue, then I better try it out at the store to hear how loud it can be before deciding on whether to purchase or not. Hope I won't be disappointed.
 

any latest quote on 20D? seem cant get any shop selling at 2850 with kit

Have you tried Parisilk ? Got my kit from them at that price. Note that they won't confirm that price on the phone but will sell you at that price if you asked them in person and they have stock.
