I waited until the 20D came out to upgrade from a D30. It's hard to top the lenses already available. huh.

Canon is used to do that and now you can forget any useful firmware updates for the 20D... Except a big LCD and a new body, most of the "great" features are done by firmware code updates... It's about the same story as the 300D with a 10D firmware hack... "3.5% spot meter is a rock'n addition...along with 1/3 stops iso settings"

Now I don't need to worry about upgrading for another year or so. What I'd really like is a 5D with a slightly quicker frame rate :-) I'm quite glad about the minimal improvements actually - I bought a 20d in october and I was worried that it would soon be obsolote in the New Year.

Now im waiting for them to upgrade the 1d series as they are seriously looking dated now and dammit, hasselblad have a 22mb camera and so should canon with their 1ds range I gotta admit, that 85mm looks the ticket.

Not worthy for 20d users, but I think 10d users will like it. I think they got 5d's body and put inside a 20d with some improvements. Not worthy for 20d users, but I think 10d users will like it.

As it turns out Canon seems to have been aiming more at d70 buyers than d200, perhaps because they intend to bring out a new camera to compete with the d200. Who knows.
