Brilliant camera for the price that you'll pay - perfect for most.
With Canon constantly bringing out new bodies this leaves the 20D to appear as quite an old one. Yes, it may be a few years out of date but the potential and quality is still up there with the cameras of 2011 and the future. Megapixels don't really matter unless your doing some serious cropping so the average 8.5MP isn't a problem, the picture quality is great.
There's a wide range of shutter speeds, from very very slow to very fast ( up to 1/8000th ) which alows this camera to be capable of being used for many different types of photography. In my opinion it is well equipped for the likes of sport, motorsport etc due to its capability to freeze motion without blur as a result of this great shutter speed range.
ISO ranges from 100 to 1600 which i find to be just enough, however, i would prefer to have the choice of up to 3200 - but for an older camera at the cheap price it's not an issue to be worried about.
As i have already said, the 20D is an older canon model and so lacks your modern features that you see on the newer versions. Don't be put off by it's lack of features and functions - any image can be created from this camera - it just takes a little more skill ( which makes you a better photographer in the long term! ). So it's a win situation.
In terms of size i find it great. You look the real deal with your proper DSLR which appears quite big but could be made even bigger by adding a grip.
The LCD screen at the back is perhaps a little smaller than most DSLR's but who really cares - it's only used for a quick check of the image you took and for adjusting settings.
Value for money , at this present time has to be a 5/5. You should pay around £200 for a decent second hand one, and for that money the quality you get is fantastic. You'll easily be competing with those fly guys who spend £wxyz on the camera body ( as long as you get good enough ).
DSLR is mainly about the glass you have(lens), so an older body like the 20D isn't an issue. Stick some decent lenses on this and you'll be laughing.
I don't really have much more to say about this camera, it's great for the price you'll pay and you will not be dissapointed.
