Problems with the Canon 20D

The Canon 20D is an excellent camera, however the biggest problem with the Canon 20D is the design flaw and Canon needs to address this soon. Hopefully they will correct this when the Canon 30D arrives.

The problems are:

1. Inability to see the viewfinder data in all conditions including direct sunlight. Most photographers want to see data in the viewfinder as we need to know what speed, aperture, exposure compensation in the camera. In addition, most rely on the information in the viewfinder while shooting, especially if YOU wish to control your camera. Concert shots, sports shots, dramatic lighting, etc.. all require the use of the photographers brain and experience to get proper exposure.

2. It makes no difference if glasses are worn or not worn.

3. The lack of illumination for the buttons in front of the LCD. It is pretty hard to see what is in the dark.

4. Needs an anti-reflective coating or a bigger and brighter LCD (greater than 2")

5. The lock-ups
