So I'm at a customers house the other day talking about making changes to my website and adding a bunch of pictures to it, and about buying a camera. He goes inside and come out with a Canon EOS20D with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm Lens, and a very sexy camera strap that says "Digital" in cool, Tron looking font. He says for a deep discount off of his bill he would let me have the camera and get this, even that cool strap! I played with the camera for a while and it looked good but I don't know how much these things are worth so I jumped on Craigslist from my phone and did a few quick searches and found people selling them in the 400-600 ($) range. I gave him about a $300 discount off his bill and now I'm the proud owner of a big black menacing camera with more buttons and do-dads on it than my last laptop. Did I mention the strap? The strap is awesome.
Here are my questions to you; 1) Did it get hosed? 2) Do you have a good forum suggestion for this camera? 3) Why is Pauldun such an asshat?

Get the magic lantern guide for the camera. It will teach you a lot. 20D is older, but still a decent camera.

I have a 20D I bought 2 years ago and I paid $500 for it. You did really good getting it for basically $300. I love the camera, and it does more than I can use still! I'm *still* learning how to use it to full potential.
I would recommend a different lens. The 18-55 is a kit lens, and you won't read alot of stellar reviews about it. At Christmas I picked up a Tamron 18-200 that does everything I need. Nobody knows why Pauldun is such an ass. I think he does it for attention personally. ![]() I'll gladly post some of the pics I've taken with it if you want to see what kinda quality you can get from it.

Here are some other pictures that I have PERSONALLY taken using a Canon EOS20D with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm Lens while taking a bubble bath.
All shots done while exfoliating so it was one handed. |

Paul, when you sit in your Probe jamin out to REO Speedwagon late at night you really should either turn off the engine or open the garage door.
Just a suggestion.
