This is a professional DSLR, not prosumer. The only prosumer attribute of the 20D might be price of the body. But even this is highly questionable if one factors in lens(es). I recommend you change this misleading assertion.Mday - Thursday, November 11, 2004 - link
Hmm, I would have liked to see an accessory list:"All" EF lenses
EF-S lenses
flashes
battery grip
Overall, dpreview forums provide much better insite into the camera from users of cameras.
Without a forum attached to digital imaging, questions and comments to anandtech forums are lost to the billions of posts in general hardware.

Thanks for the comment and good suggestion. We will include this info in future reviews.Gatak - Thursday, November 11, 2004 - link
Nice article =) the D20 is cirtanly on my wishlist.There are things I'd like to see for future photography /image quality tests. You should mention the colour profile and gamma settings for the images that you use.
A uncalibrated CRT monitor (the default Windows and Linux user) will use a gamma close to 2.5 instead of the sRGB of about 2.2. Unless the user has compensated the gamma shift on their system using tools like Adobe Gamma or xgamma these pictures will look much to dark.
I have illustrated the difference on this image: http://moment22.mine.nu/20dcc-gamma-compare.jpg
It should be viewed on a sRGB monitor or in a application that can simulate sRGB on your monitor (like Photoshop)
