      Description
      8.2 Megapixel CMOS Sensor... Canon's all-new large area CMOS
(complementary metal oxide semiconductor) Sensor captures images with
exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its
class. This 2nd generation APS-C size sensor (22.5 x 15.0mm) has the same
3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x
the normal EF Lens focal length.
      The EOS 20D has an extensive ISO range (from 100 to 1600 plus ISO 3200
in extended mode),and the sensor features a newly developed set of
narrow-gap microlenses and noise reduction circuits to improve performance
at high ISOs, and optimized photodiode configurations for improved
performance at all ISOs. This results in larger, clearer, sharper and more
detailed photographs right from the start.
      The Second Generation DIGIC II Image Processor enhances every aspect
of image capture. Information captured by the CMOS Sensor is processed and
assembled into images of exceptional quality by this new Image Processor.
With the DIGIC II Image Processor on board, photographers can expect
precise, natural colors, and spot-on white balance in any number of lighting
situations.
      Through sophisticated signal processing algorithms, the DIGIC II Image
Processor even accelerates all aspects of image capture, while consuming
less energy than other processors.
      The EOS 20D has been designed to capture images with speeds that had
been reserved for professional level cameras. Whether it's the 0.2 second
start-up time, the high speed mirror drive, the class-leading 65 msec.
shutter release lag time, or the predictive AF focusing at speeds up to 5
frames-per-second, the EOS 20D will amaze and delight photographers who
don't want to wait for their camera when they're ready to shoot.
      The 20D's CMOS Sensor allows 4-channel high-speed data readout, and
the DIGIC II Image Processor processes the data quickly, writing files to
the CompactFlash card faster, and allowing continuous shooting for up to 23
frames (JPEG Large/Fine) with significant reductions in buffer clearing
times.
      The EOS 20D has a newly developed high-precision 9-point AF system for
speedy and accurate focusing in any situation. An improved focusing screen
with precision matte finish enables brighter and easier manual focus.
      A newly developed multi-controller, conveniently located on the back
of the camera for thumb-controlled action, allows the photographer to
instantly choose any of the 9 focus points, or direct the camera to choose
them automatically.
      Focusing points are positioned in the viewfinder in a wide
diamond-shaped array, allowing the user to achieve focus quickly in numerous
compositions and situations. The EOS 20D feels solid and rugged in your
hands ensuring stable, easy handling. Its rigid chassis combines engineering
plastic with stainless steel and is covered by strong, lightweight magnesium
alloy panels on the the top, front and rear.
