I was sooo... wrong

... and I dont even feel bad about it! Few months ago in my post "Why I chose Canon Powershot G5", I concluded;

"I don't think I'll buy an SLR in near future."

Well, I have proven myself wrong. Last Friday, The UPS guy delivered a brand new Canon EOS 20D, my first digital SLR!

In summry, 20D is the best you can get in it's class. It is fast in focusing, startup, read-write speeds, and can capture 5 frames per second 8.2 Megapixel images. It has lot less image noise at ISOs upto 800 (oh yeah!) and it is very well built.

With this camera I am moving from the "prosumer" to "a serious amateur" category. So what made me buy a digital SLR camera so sooner then I had thought? Well, I am not going to post a full review of 20D. there are plenty of good reviews out there on the web and I don't think I can do better then those. But I'll surely try to document the thought process that might be able to help someone else make such a move. After all, it's a big step up, considering that this camera costs almost double compared to what I paid for G5 a little more than a year ago.

Stay Tuned...
