(7) Compatibility with EF-S lenses
Since the camera has the same mechanism as the EOS DIGITAL
REBEL/EOS 300D DIGITAL, it is compatible with EF-S lenses.

5) Design
(1) Awesome-looking for an aura of high performance
Even though the EOS 20D boasts better
image quality and more high-end features
than the EOS 10D, it is smaller and lighter.
The width, height, and depth are
respectively 5.7 mm, 2 mm, and 3.5 mm
shorter than the EOS 10D. And the weight
is 105g lighter. If you look at the front of the
camera, the built-in flash looks more
compact. Also, the front cover surrounding
the lens mount has gentle curves to give a
compact and high-performance image as
well as a strong, high-end look.
Despite the smaller size, the grip surface
is still ample to provide excellent grip and
holding comfort. The camera also retains
the EOS 10D's "finger cut" shape around
the shutter button to make pressing the
shutter button comfortable.
(2) Refined interface--Multi-controller provided
The operation ease of EOS is retained. The Multi-controller is a new camera
control that can be pushed in 8 directions and at the center. It is for selecting
the AF point, magnifying the image during playback, and moving the
trimming outline for direct printing. It is a great improvement for operation
ease.
(3) Highly rigid magnesium-alloy body
Being well-received on the EOS 10D, the magnesium-alloy body has been
retained. The refined look and feel, high image quality, and many features
convey a high level of assurance to the user. The Canon logo relief with a
white filling adds to the camera's fine detail, making it very apt for a high-end
digital AF SLR. It spreads and promotes the high quality of the Canon brand.
