Hello,
I bought a 20D a few weeks back as I figured that a body was a bargain at £520, and I've been wanting the extra speed/AF speed coming from a sluggish 300D.
Anyway, what I have noticed so far is that the results from the two cameras are so different! My old camera used to produce quite bright, vivid images even when on Parameter 2 (neutral). My 20D on the other hand seems to produce quite washed out(lacking in contrast), seemingly under-exposed results from a parameter 2 setting - you have a to do quite a bit of tweeking to what I would call an acceptably bright image. I haven't got an exposure bias set, my Dad's 20D does the same thing, so I'm thinking it's a common thing to make sure that detail is preserved in the highlights?
If any of you have had similar experiences I'd like to hear about them, especially if you went as I did from a 300D->20D.
