5xwen,

I own a Canon 10D. The series that was out right before the 20D.
I have not compared it to other models (nikon, etc.) mainly because I also own a number of Canon EOS 35mm cameras. The fact that the 10D was able to use my 35mm EOS lenses was the reason I bought the 10D. I have also been a long time fan of Canon.
Some people swear by Nikon, some swear by Canon. They both do the same thing, it's just how they accomplish it, where the buttons are, etc.

At the end of the day, no matter how much crap a camera manufacturer loads onto a camera, they are still a very simple device.
A shutter speed
A f-stop
A light meter....

everything else is just gravy... I do suggest however if you have cameras of a particular brand, stay with that brand. Hopefully you can use some of your old lenses and flashes, etc.
