Hi
I've been shooting for a few years now with an AV-1 35mm film body i was given and it's given me a lot of pleasure over the years and I'm turning out some half decent results, won't win comps but better than my point and shoot!
I've recently made a sub £100 investment in a used EOS 20D. I know with an adapter i can use my FD mount lenses, i also have some minolta AF lenses I can use.
The 20D seemed a reasonable compromise in terms of price and performance since I don't have the money to buy a 5D or 1D, more over if I did i probably wouldn't have to skill to justify the investment.
I wanted to know if i picked a good body or not, it hasn't got a full sensor which concerns me as it's not really like for like 35mm to 35mm I was reading it will have a narrower depth of field.
8MP should be plenty for me, im not making canvas prints or anything bigger than A3 type stuff so any more would probably be a waste?
I don't know much about the xxD range but at the price it seemed a good opportunity to start in dslr photography and get some comparable results to my av-1.
