Thrift Store Camera: Canon EOS 20D - Professional Quality at 8.2 Megapixels

 I came across a "vintage" digital camera and I've decided it's time to revive this blog. What's my latest greatest new camera?  A Canon EOS 20D DSLR from around the year 2004 or so. Am I crazy? Probably.  I've been looking at modern DSLRs and Mirror-less cameras for a long time.  So why get an old one?  The answer is simple.  I figure I should probably learn what all the various program and manual settings on a DSLR do before spending $500 to $1000 on a new camera.

For a more modern mirrorless Canon camera, check out the Canon EOS R100. The shape is timeless, but the technology is new. The Canon R100 is a budget-minded camera with a fixed screen and some technology held over from the Canon M-series. It uses the DIGIC-8 processor instead of the DIGIC-10 and has slower burst shooting. However, you can save several hundred dollars over the price of a Canon R50 or R10.
