Canon EOS 30D

Posted By Dan Avnet

Hi Greg,

The sensor cleaning function on the 20D just locks the mirror up so you can gently with a bulb blower air the dust away from the sensor. Basically a 20D with nice tweaks and I've heard a lower price. I think it's a bargin. But for astro work the 20Da is the way to go IMHO. Looking to get one soon myself.

Best,

Dan

You got to be thrilled with this one! Outstanding I think. The 20Da sure picks up the nebula. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting Ivan. Great job. Wonderful to rememeber when we could see the stars. Rain and clouds East Coast washout is getting a lttle irritating. Hope the weekend is better.
