I like almost everything,great quality,focus speed,lack of noise at high iso and it was a nice surprise when i found that during manual focusing the camera beeps and the center focus spot lights up when focus is achieved,Canon 20D is my first camera with this feature and it's very useful especially for macro photos.

What i hate about my camera...it' unbelievable but i have it only for a month and i have got dust on the sensor :mad: 2 spots yet!!!
I hate the heavy weight of the camera and i hate carrying in the bag all my lenses because i'm not sure what i will shoot :rolleyes:

I love the look of mine and the large size of the screen. Its a good size and shape too. Im happy with the quality of pictures it produces, although im sure it could do better if it didnt have a useless handler lol.

Dont like that it doesn't have a view finder (dont use them but it would be nice to have). Also a tad heavy and the connectors are on a seperate box which I know I will lose eventually :o

Panasonic DMC FZ20
I love the zoom (12 x optical).
It doesn't take very good macro photo's. I wish the Led screen rotated.

Canon SD110
I love the small size, but it has a really poor zoom.

Nikon D70: I like its look ;) and it is big enough for handling it well. Incredibly long battery life. Great photos. Great build quality. No problem under extremely sunny days.
It could be better at high ISO.

Canon 350D: small enough for a SLR, light, great photos. 1600ISO with no problem. Very good value for money.
What I dislike: dust problem, some overexposure problem (white sky), feels cheap.

Coolpix 5000: great with the wide angle converter as it gives a 19mm. LCD that rotates. Build in magnesium, very solid and light. I dislike its poor battery life. I had to get the battery pack (6 AA batteries). It's starting to show its age in photo quality.

Canon Pro90IS: x12 zoom, nice macro photos with the Canon 500D macro lens. LCD that rotates. I dislike its poor battery life. Only 2.6 mp.

it was a nice surprise when i found that during manual focusing the camera beeps and the center focus spot lights up when focus is achieved,Canon 20D is my first camera with this feature and it's very useful especially for macro photos.
I think some cameras even take a photo when something comes in the "target" area which is useful for taking photos of animals (when you can't stay there all day). Many photos of bats are taken that way.

It reminds me the Canon 350D... I never changed the lens and I got dust on the sensor very quickly. I still have some dust in the viewfinder but fortunately that does not affect the photos.

.

Is that a camera's feature or an exrta sensor that many photographers use taking photos of the birds?
I know that many photographers place their camera in front of a bird's or animal's nest and they go away and at the time the bird come back in the nest the camera takes the photo
I thought it was an extra gadget :)
