I was shooting motox yesterday with Buttkicker from FM 3/4 through the day i noticed my sensor was in a right state and he loaned me his 20D. The thing is this i prefer my 10D it feels stronger better in the hand and i got more keepers do i need to see a doctor ?

    of course there's nothing wrong with you. The 10D is a slightly bigger body. If you have bigger hands like me, it feels great, better than the smaller 20D. Also, the vertical grip seems a little smoother to me, and no little "notch" on the side. The vert grips for the newer Canon's look like cancerous growths to me.

    as for keepers, you have to get used to any camera, although in this case, most of the settings are the same and the AF is supposedly better/faster on the 20D, so I'm a little puzzled by that.

    The only difference was on my 10D i had set a custom WB and back button focus 20D AWB and shutter button focus the white balance was way off here one straight from the 20D and one from 10d

    Ah, now the truth comes out! There's your keeper difference right there! With a few days on the 20D, your results wouldn't suffer. The one thing I'll give the 20D, they were very good about keeping dials and layout pretty much the same from the 10D, so adapting time is kept to a minimum. Now you just have to do the same custom setup as on the 10D and you'd be stylin'.

    BTW, that first photo is sweet!

    Not going to bother with a 20D it's not worth the extra £500 it would cost over a 10D, 1Dmk2 for me in about 18 months when i get better, next buy is a 200mm 2.8 and get rid of 70-200F4
