Page 2 of 2 The ideal situation is to use a tripod or other camera support for long exposures with lower ISO settings. Yet I regularly used the EOS 20D with settings of ISO 400 and 800 to keep exposures shorter because I often used a small beanbag (a great accessory for street photography) and loved my results. White balance is simple to set, which is perfect for night shooting. It can be difficult to judge what looks best for a certain scene—do the lights look better neutral or warm in tone? You can shoot different settings quickly and compare results in the LCD (but reserve final judgment for the computer). The Canon EOS 20D is a compact, easily handled camera. It offers a newly designed nine-point AF system, DIGIC II processing, a 5 fps speed, a 0.2-second startup time and a magnesium-alloy body. It handles all EOS EF lenses, including the small-format EF-S designs.
