Yes, it's a 'special order' item and takes 3 months to be delivered. It's not clear whether this is a 'Japan only' item or if it will be available worldwide. Canon have had a number of 'Japan only' models in the past (e.g the black Digital Rebel was 'Japan Only' for quite a while'. Since there's a lot of interest in astronomy in Japan I think it's quite possible that the 20D-A may only be offered there, at least for a while. Note there are a couple of places selling Digital Rebels which have been modified by removing the hot mirror. Apart from the 'live LCD focus' mode, they serve the same function. Note that for the 'live LCD' focus mode to work you must have a lens which has truely mechanical manual focus.

This means that lenses that had electronically driven manual focus (e.g. EF 300/2.8L and a bunch more), cannot focus in the 'live LCD' mode. The 'Live LCD mode' has the mirror locked up and the shutter open. It's not a pellicle mirror system (which would be totally inappropriate for a camera designed for low light levels!).

Here's a less than perfect machine translation about the 'live' feature' With EOS 20Da you kept in a state where the mirror is lifted, live image of the image pickup element the enlargement color it can be indicated to the liquid crystal monitor loaded 'live view mode'. Because of this, with just the finder it is possible to do the focus adjusting with the manual whose fine control is difficult more accurately.

Indication of the liquid crystal monitor are 2 types of enlargement ratio 5 time and 10 times, adjusts to photographing circumstance and it is possible to choose. Thanks for telling it like it is BOB. Phill did miss the bit about the mirror being locked up for live view mode. It would be really good for macro work, as well as landscape, it's really trying to thread the needle to correctly manual focus an Adapted lens on the subject that you want in-focus.

Even if you don't stop down untill after focussing it's not that easy to get it right on the money. If I had all the money for the digital, I'd buy one of these and put my 20D sensor in there all being the same, use the firmware and custom white balance of the 20Da. The downside is that you'll need an IR blocking filter on every lens for normal use, and they are not cheap.

I don't think that the custom white balance fuction will work well enough to compensate for the missing IR blocking filter. In addition without an IR blocking filter exposure could be way off. CMOS (and CCD) sensors are intrinically more sensitive to IR than visible light, so exposure would be significantly affected by IR. That's one reason the IR blocking filter is there in the first place! The ability to focus on the LCD screen at a 10x magnification would be useful for some work though. The concept of focusing through the lens and using a viewfinder is incredibly arcane old-world-SLR thinking. Seeing the image on the screen for composition is a fundamental advantage of a digital P&S over a dSLR.

It is routine for me to hold a p&s over my head - or at knee level - and still accurately compose shots. Now, if you could digital expand the image and use that expanded image for focus control.that would be a huge advantage for DOF control or determining focus accuracy when using fast (say, F1.4 or F1.2) lenses. The current generation of dSLR's are very much simple digital mimics of film SLR's, and lack such obviously important functions (in a dSLR) such as ISO indication in the viewfinder. ISO settings in full stop increments is also a paradigm.

Why can't I set Shutter 100, F5.6, and have the camera set ISO = 374.2 for proper exposure? Only time will tell if the camera makers start moving away from the film pardigm, and fully embrace the digital potential. I rarelt need to hold my DSLR over my head. There are reasons why it's better to have a mechanical shutter than an electronic shutter, and with a mechanical shutter you have to use a reflex finder.

'Live' LCD displays are only possible by 'gating' the sensor electronically, and that leads to lower performance. The 'live LCD' on the 20D-A is presumably only usuable in situations where you can afford to do stuff slowly, plus for astrophotography applications, the sensor illumination will be quite low (which helps performance issues). Auto ISO would be nice at times. Some cameras already have it to a limited extent in auto modes.

I presume it's being saved for a future 'upgrade' where it might encourage a few users to swich. If you gave everybody everything you could now, they'd have no incentive to buy the next model. After reading the site again and doing some more machine translations, I'm pretty sure it's a Japan only option right now, so no need for US users to get too excited. I guess if you really, really, really want one bad enough to wait 3 months and pay someone in Japan to get one for you, it's possible to get one in the US, but it seems like an awful lot of effort (and possibly a lot of expense?). You can get a modified EOS 20D (IR blocking filter removed, your choice of filter replacing it) for under $2000 in the US if you want one. No real time LCD preview, but otherwise the same.

Apologies if this has been posted before. I just noticed Canon has 7 picture style files available on their Japan site (on an English language page too, fortunately). I have seen 4 of these mentioned on other sites, but it looks like there are 3 others that have not caught anybody's attention yet. The styles are: Studio Portrait, Snapshot Portrait, Nostalgia, Clear, Twilight, Emerald, and Autumn Hues. I personally shoot RAW normally and don't use Picture Styles.

But I do think they are a nifty feature. These can be uploaded via EOS Utility, and at least on the 7D, you can choose any 3 to fill the 3 user setting slots on your camera. The full names will appear on the screen, so you don't need to remember which numbers are which. This reminded me that when uploaded from the PC, Picture Styles encompass a LOT more settings than the basics that you can choose on the camera screen (e.g. Sharpness, contrast, etc.). They have full tone curves and color mappings, so these styles can apply very dramatic changes to the pictures. You can see them applied instantly when viewing via Live View mode, too.

I'm not sure if these new Picture Styles are actually useful, but hope at a minimum they keep some of you amused. I've never been impressed enough with the Adobe products to cough up the huge fur ball that the Creative Suite requires. But if they work with Elements I'll definitely have to take a look at them.

I personally use Alien Skin Exposure 2, but there are others out there as well. While not an in-camera picture style, these plug-ins are much more powerful and a lot of fun to play with as well. I'm pretty sure Exposure 2 has a free trial download.

The only downside, they are kind of pricey. You cannot - even creating a B&W picture style is very challenging. You can of course create an action in PS to add the noise for you so it will only be a click away.

I'm getting better at tweaking for effect PP but think this would be a picture style I'd use a lot. You could always download the Picture Style Editor program and try creating your own. I'm not sure you'll be able to simulate the grain effect though. To Err is Human, To really foul things up you need a computer.
