No disputing the value represented by the 20D but this begs the
question.... hasn't Leica always been a premium brand? Haven't
there always been lower-cost alternatives delivering good quality?
It appears that to many on this list the 20D's performance is good
enough - so why have you used Leica before? Were the lower-cost
film cameras not good enough?
Doug -
I agree! Were we having this discussion ten years ago? I could
imagine: "I could buy a EOS Rebel for $200 at Walmart. Why should I
buy a Leica R6.2? It can't even do auto-focus. I can use all my R-
lens on my Rebel with an adapter."
The 20D isn't a Rebel, but it isn't even an EOS-3, it's about an
EOS-5 or EOS-7 in build quality.
The proper comparison with the R9/DMR is the Canon EOS 1D Mark II.
Similar crop factor, similar size, and similar build quality, and not
that different in price.
