Canon EOS 20D camera Review

This is the first dSLR I bought. This is a great camera. Since I agree with most positive comments made by many previous reviewers, I would not repeat them here. Only thing I want to say is about the review titled "Canon should be ashamed at themselves." I read this after I had placed an on-line order. I was nervous. After receiving the camera, I eagerly mounted the kit lens and used all default setting with full automatic functions. I took several pictures inside house and compared it with my Olympus 3000Z. I reviewed the pictures from computer screen and also printed them on 4x6 photo paper using HP printer. The pictures took using Canon 20D are as good, if not better, than Olympus 3000Z. I also tried other functions, such as manual and macro, the pictures are great. I guess this reviewer perhaps happened to receive a defect camera.

I give it 4 stars because its LCD is small. My Olympos 3000Z has 2.0' screen, this one has only 1.8', of course its resolution is higher than Olympos 3000Z. Another reason I give it 4 stars is that I feel the power switch is not in the convenient location. I think it would be more convenient to put it next to the eye-piece so that it can be turned on with our thumb. It also helps to make the switch sliding one, not turning one, as it is now. This arrangement can also save room for bigger LCD.
