Canon EOS 20D
Arash from Tehran reviews the Canon EOS 20D:
Review: The 20D is a very cost-effective, user-friendly DSLR that can fully meet the requirements of amateur and semi-professional user's who like low price-tag and quality in one solid package. The body is just the right size for most of the users, designed to provide good grip and controls ergonomically within acceptable performance style. The jog dial under the thumb is really a smart design that, when compared to push-buttons in cameras like 350D and 400D, provides fast control over aperture setting. The other buttons are within the reach quite nicely except perhaps the DoF review button, the location of which I have never got used to.The multi-control button which can be assigned to control the focus points directly is relatively accurate and a testimony to a smart solid design though reaching it, when the grip is mounted, is a little bothersome.

Fireworks are a great subject. The light emitted by the streaking incendiaries is actually much brighter than most people assume, so act accordingly. Here are ten rules to follow for sparkling results. 1. Get a location with an unobstructed view. 2. Use a tripod. 3. Set your camera's ISO setting to 400 or higher. Experiment with 800 and 200, too. 4. Turn OFF the camera's built-in flash. 5. Shoot at 1/30, 1/15, 1/8 and 1/4 second shutter speeds at your largest f/stop. 6. If possible, use the Landscape Mode or Infinity focus setting. 7. Anticipate the moment of explosion before pressing the shutter release. 8. Use a remote release if you can -- or press the shutter button gently. 9. Include people in some of the shots -- silhouettes can be dramatic; buildings add scale. 10. Watch the wind -- it will carry the smoke and spark debris trail causing streaks.
