First Shot

My Canon 20D arrived at my local retailer last Tuesday and I promptly went down to pick it up. Of course at 8 megapixels the images are not really for web use, but resized to a reasonable photoblogging format, here is one of my first images.



Here is a 100% crop of the same image shot with camera defaults.



So far, first impressions are excellent. It has virtually immediate startup, the shutterlag is almost nonexistant. With my 17-40L lens the images are sharp and detail is amazing.

A short midweek trip to Yosemite is planned for next week, which should present the perfect opportunity to run it through its paces, and hopefully post a higher resolution web gallery to share with you, gentle reader.
