Testing a second hand 20D body

Hi All

 

In usual last minute style I am heading out in an hour or so to pick up a

second hand EOS used 20D body that I've got from a certain auction site. I'm

picking it up in person so that I can test it first.

 

My intended use? I've got a 40D and an arsenal of glass but need a backup body

as I intend to start dabbling in weddings in the next year.

 

My question? What sort of things would you guys recommend testing so that I can

be reasonably happy that it's fully operational?

 

I'm thinking, try a few lenses and a few cards in it, battery grip, multiframe

bursts etc. Any other ideas that I haven't thought of?

 

Cheers everyone for your help.

 

I've tried to search this subject but no luck. So hopefully I've included

enough keywords on here for someone else to find it i the future.

Hi everyone

Got the new body now. Many thanks for your answers.

For the record I tested- Hotshoe flashgun, remote test (TC80N3), multiframe burst, formatting 2 memory cards in it, used sensor cleaning mode to have a look inside, tried EF and EFS lenses on it, autofocus speed, and visual check (buttons lcds etc)

 

Perhaps I was just being pedantic but I wanted to make sure I was getting a good'un.

 

Thanks everyone.
