Going from 20D to ?
Okay, so the size of the viewing screen on the back of my camera is really bugging me these days. For those of you who own Canons and have made the jump up to a newer model, what do you recommend. I need something that can accommodate my 20D lens mounts.

Suggestions?

TIA - 48

2. It would be identical
30D or 40D, whichever you can afford, if you want the metal body. Otherwise get a Rebel line :shrug:

5D won't take EF-S, and I don't think the 1D lines do, either.

3. Yeah, it's sad about the 5D not taking the EF-S lenses.
My 17-85 and 10-20 aren't getting much use these days. Luckily the rest of the lenses I got for the 20D will fit the new camera. The bigger LED really is better for people with old eyes, like me.

5. I know this sounds odd
but the Sigma SD14 takes SD lens mounts, and they are so identical to the Canon EF mount that you can take an SD mount, resolder it onto a set of Canon EF leads on the lens and it will do everything but OS.

Of course you need to know someone who does lens work for the conversion.

6. Too much work for me
I would most likely unload my lenses on eBay and buy new ones if I got a camera that wouldn't accept them. However, I don't see this happening in the near future.
