I finally go digital…

    I’ve finally got a 20d after a good longish time saving up for one.
    Bought it for ?310 with a new 2GB extreme III thrown in, it’s brand newish (the seller had it a few months but never got the time to use it) and a Canon 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS is on it’s way too (from Hong Kong) :D
    I’m really pleased with it! It’s in brilliant condition, I havent noticed one mark on it at all and it shoots like a minigun with that extremeIII card!! (well.. compared to the 1fps 500n :wink: )

    One thing though… can you make it display the current settings (apeture/shutter speed/WB/ISO/drive mode etc.) on the LCD when you’re shooting? I’ve seen my Art teacher’s 400d do it (grey screen with black and white text/numbers)… I can’t find it anywhere in the manual so that’s why I’m asking you guys..

    It really lets you appreciate digital when you’re shooting exclusively on film for about a year.. But there’s a load more things to learn now with all this WB shift, DOF preview, C. Functions, parameters and all that.

    Now to stick the 50mm f/1.8 on and get shooting instead of messing about listening to the shutter release!

    A few shots…
    Because of the arival of the 20d, I thought it was only fair that the ixus500 got to be the subject
    (Only very minor cropping done to these)

    C&C appreciated

    i belive the 20d doesnt display them on the screen like you are talking about

    they are on the lcd on the top of the camera

    it actually works better this way, i have a 30 and 40d and thy work that way, and the settings are always there. so its easier
