Gizmo Dreaded Monkey Pirate Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Monkeytown Posts: 401	My new Canon 20D! Behold!! After much deliberation, (and my wife's OK) I finally purchased a Canon 20D. I already had a large investment in Canon lenses from my two film EOS bodies, so as far as that goes it was a no-brainer. I've only been shooting around the house for a day but I can tell you now that I love this camera. Hopefully I will be able to post some other images (if anyone is interested) once the weather around here starts to get better. The quality of the pictures with my 17-40 1:4L lens are unbelievable. At ISO 400 to 1600 I would say even better than film. And the thing feels solid. More so than my Elan 7NE. Well, I think I'll get back to playing with my new toy. Later... __________________ Arrr...JackAxe's wooden leg has termites!!! My Evolution: Pilot Palm Pilot Palm V Clie N760C Treo 650 Centro Last edited by Gizmo : 01-30-2005 at 09:39 PM.

Here is the original picture from which I cropped the duck. __________________ Arrr...JackAxe's wooden leg has termites!!! My Evolution: Pilot Palm Pilot Palm V Clie N760C Treo 650 Centro

I told you it was Sasquach, he was watching you, or the duck... maybe he wanted a duck dinner and you scared them away... if you hear a strange noise and a knock on your door tonight... don't answer it....
