 | Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Buy used from: $435.00 A nice, solid camera body, for those with Canon EF lenses already or those who wish to buy something beyond the stock lenses.
|
 | Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
Buy used from: $900.00 The 20D body with the 17 - 85mm USM IS lens. If you don't have any other Canon EF lenses and just want a kit to start with (and can afford the extra expense), this is a great start.
|
 | Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
Buy used from: $500.00 The 20D body with the 18 - 55mm F/3.5 - 5.6 lens. A good, less expensive kit to start with.
|
 | Canon BP511A 1390mAh Lithium Ion Battery Pack for Select Digital Cameras and Camcorders
Buy new: $45.76 / Used from: $36.04 Spare battery. Get one. You'll need it.
|
 | Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens
Buy new: $89.84 / Used from: $119.99 A nice, inexpensive, 50mm F/1.8 prime. For the price, it can't be beat.
|
 | Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $389.99 / Used from: $333.00 My current walk-around lens. It's got a good range, with USM, IS, and is reasonably sharp. Flexibility that is key for a walk-around lens. There's room for improvement though.
|
| Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy used from: $449.99 I got this lens when all I had was the 18 - 55mm kit. The extra range was wonderful, but it's far too slow and the optics aren't great.
|
 | Canon RS-80N3 Remote Switch for EOS-1V/1VHS, EOS-3, EOS-D2000, D30, D60, 1D, 1Ds, EOS-1D Mark II, 10D, 20D
Buy new: $46.57 Get a good, very solid, light tripod. Once you do, get this inexpensive cable release.
|
 | Canon TC80N3 Timer Remote Control for EOS D30, D60, D10, 1D, 1V & 20D SLR Cameras
Buy new: $139.30 This is a fancier cable release with integrated LCD panel and timer. Is it ~2.5 times better though? Up to you.
|
 | Canon Speedlite 420EX Flash for Canon EOS SLR Cameras
Buy used from: $239.99 One of the first accessories you should get with your 20D is an external flash. This unit has a lot of good functionality for the beginner with some "grow into" functionality.
|
 | Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series and all EOS SLR Cameras
Buy new: $233.12 / Used from: $217.59 This is the update to the 420ex Speedlite. Looks good, but it doesn't seem to be $100 better than the 420.
|
 | Canon Speedlite 580EX Flash for Canon Pro1, Pro 90, G Series, and EOS SLR Digital Cameras
Buy used from: $385.00 Current top of the line Speedlite. Just released a couple months ago. Very nice with lots of room to grow into it. (For me at least.)
|
 | Canon Off Camera Shoe Cord 2 for Canon Pro1, G2, G3, G5 & G6 Digital Cameras
Once you get a Speedlite and start using it, you'll probably realize that a flash bracket would be good. You'll need this cable to connect the flash to the camera.
|
| Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $669.95 / Used from: $600.00 A very nice, very well regarded L ("pro") lens. This is the walk-around lens for many people. It's currently on my wishlist.
|
 | Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,155.00 / Used from: $1,050.00 Another L lens, similar to the above one, but bigger, faster, and with a bit less range (24mm vs 17mm)
|
| Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $608.11 / Used from: $595.00 Frequently paired with the previous one. It's also an L lens. This is lighter and less expensive than its more expensive big brother. Also on my wishlist. Not sure about the size though.
|
 | Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,155.00 / Used from: $1,049.99 "Big brother" to 16.
|
| Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Buy new: $1,673.95 "Bigger brother" to 16.
|
 | Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $319.00 / Used from: $289.00 I really wish Canon made an L version of this lens. I love its size and range. It'd be the perfect walk-around lens for me. This looks nice, especially for the price.
|
 | Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $279.00 / Used from: $215.00 A similar lens to the above one, but from Tamron. Both are dinged for not being very fast, having poor build quality, and inaccurate AF. Still, good price for what you get.
