Thanks, George. Yes, the 20D is excellent. It has enough pixels and 
low enough noise, is fast enough in almost every situation and 
generally handles well. I can't see selling mine either. The 350D I 
bought for the express purpose of converting it to IR, and that I 
will keep as well. I will probably keep them both until they suffer 
some sort of failure and are not reasonable to repair.

However, if they made a 20D with a better viewfinder.... :-)
