New Canon 20D

So will you buy one? Its official. Street price looks like $1,300 for

the body. I think I will get one early next year, and the 10D will be

the backup. Can't afford the mkII, and the 20D should be better for

sports. It won't be mkII fast AF, but it should be better than the

10D. The 25 frame buffer is also much better, the 10D takes a LONG

time to write to the card if you fire off a few RAW shots in a row.
