i think the upgrade is quite justifiable what... like 4MP more!

my wish list :think:
1/500 flash sync
sub-S$3K
Can shoot in reduced resolution RAW
5-8 fps
1x bright view finder... rather than current 0.9x
quiet mirror flip and return. (but I think most of the sound is from the shutter position reset)
As rugged construction as 10D.
But what I really :lovegrin: is the 18-200 VR ED (with 4 stops VR)... dun tink Canon is responding to this anytime soon. especially with 4 stops IS.

The 20D mirror slap is LOUD. Recently shot with two friends, one using a 20D and one a 1DMkII, both going at full drive, you could hear the 20D higher pitch and louder slap over the 1DII which was slightly quieter even at higher fps. Maybe the bigger/more solid build and better damping system of the 1DMkII body helped.szekiat said:
having personally used both (and still doing so), i still think its a question of pitch. In terms of loudness, they're about par. Have a 1d, 1dm2, 20d in front of me right now and doing a shutter test again...haha, i'm that bored.
Unfortunately, flash sync is an issue with cmos that has yet to be solved. That aside, 1x viewfinder is almost always reserved for pro bodies. The rest are quite achievable dreams i guess.
Has the quality in 10x zoom optics really improved that much that ppl actually one them now?

Here is my post to dpReview on one of the forum they hotly discuss on 30D which is supposed to replace 20D, personally I think it would not be 30D, too similar/confusing with 30D. Maybe 20D MarkII or something.
Anyway, here was my post:
In fact, here is my wishlist for the 20D replacement:
8.2MPix (marginal return on higher resolution, but buffer handling will be a challenge)
Spot metering
ISO 50-6400 (that would be interesting, but I think it's achievable technically)
4.5fps (Canon is still class leading in this)
60 jpeg, 40 RAW buffer
Picture Style
2.5 inch LCD
eye-focus (That was a wonderful technology in their Elan/EOS50 series)
Sensor-IS (My thought is this is probably technically viable by Canon, but may not be align to their marketing strategy to push their IS lens)
And that is something worthwhile for upgrade.
So, what do you think.

Simple...So that you will need to use a Speedlite with IR assist beam...$$$

I had always wanted spot metering when using my first DSLR, the silent 10D. Now that I have a body that has it, I ended up using Manual mode! I guess with digital where one can take test shots and review the histogram immediate after, a spot metering is less crucial for most cases.

low light dun use flash? Hard to focus is one thing, hand will shake, also if shoot human, will get motion blur. If you shoot landscape...got AF assist also no use wat?
