Input on d20?
OK, I'm a photographer here in Illinois. I've only used digital for personal stuff so far. I have an Olympus c-4000 that I use quite often. I use a canon 35mm system (I use a couple a2e's and a eos3) with L series lenses out "in the field" and a bronica system in my studio. I do weddings, senior portraits, just about anything someone wants to pay me for. I also manage a one hour photo lab and teach photography at the local college.
I'm planning on going fully digital soon. very soon. I'm looking at a d20. I know all about the "magnification" effect I will get with my lenses so I will probably buy one more lens to go with it for wider group shots. 18-55 or similiar lens. I will probably still do weddings on medium format unless I can get a great 22x30 from the d20.
What do those of you that have the d20 think of it? What do large prints like 22x30 look like from the d20? I will be buying some CF cards and not microdrives mainly for the read/write speed. I know that the microdrives are rated at an ungodly high g rating but when you go from being dropped from standard holding height for a normal person to bouncing on a hard floor, that instant reverse in direction creates and ungodly high g force rating, so durability also plays a factor in what I will use. I have dropped CF cards before and have never had a problem with them. A friend of mine dropped his microdrive and no longer has one that works.

...you are gonna get ribbed for calling it a d20
Large prints are awesome. The x1.6 is great. Everything I have been told is "CF" not microdrive. I use Lexar 1gig 80X...love them.
I don't make large prints, I am not a pro and I can't afford to. Someone did make me a large print of a photo I took with it, it was great.
Why wouldn't they be? 8 megapixals, etc.
What are you comparing the 20D with? Have you read this months rangefinder magazine. It points out that you don't really need all that resolution for weddings. Right or not, I know not. It is a great issue on weddings, but has other great stuff in it.
Andy has a more expensive camera, and so do others.......
Most keep kind of a low profile on the situation, I think. Maybe one will chime in.

I think I may have stated that wrong. when I get a picture I really like from the e-20 I like it more. But I find it a lot easier to get a picture that I really like out of the 20d. When you get a new camara there are always some things you like better about your old one.
oK I will put the beer down and leave.
ah, just kidding....it's an AWESOME camera. I absolutely LOVE mine.
