CANON EOS 20D KIT: Would you like the combo?

bytheuerkorn Apr 25, 2005
45 Helpfuls 46 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent camera, good starter lens, rich in features, good overall quality
Cons Mediocre lens which stifles some of the 20D functionality and quality
Recommended it? Yes

Kits are often a great opportunity to snatch typically more expensive individual components and bundle them into a discounted package. The same is true for the EOS 20D which can be had with or without the lens. Does it make sense to get the kit or simply skip to the body only and get a better lens?... Read full review »

I was always intimidated by these cameras so never thought that one was for me-- that was until I... Read full review »

I just bought this camera for my hobby and I'm amazed by this. The quality is amazing and you have many features to make your photos even better.
