Lens used in above test: Canon Zoom EF mm Looking at the series below though, it appears that the control affects highlight areas much more strongly than shadow areas.

Dialing down contrast will thus act to preserve highlight detail directly, but won't pull up the shadows at all. My personal preference is for contrast adjustments to affect the extremes of the tone curve more equally, pulling in both highlights and shadows by similar amounts. That said though, the contrast adjustment on the 20D works very well as a "highlight preservation" device.

If you're concerned about highlight detail, dialing down the contrast will let you hold onto it, without really affecting any of your other exposure settings. Bottom line, a well-done control. Well done Color Tone Series: This is a pretty subtle adjustment, and you may not be able to see its effects in the small thumbnails below very clearly. It seems to affect color areas, without introducing a color cast in neutrals, a very nice effect.

Its action is most obvious in Marti's skin tones, which are rather pink in the "More Red" example, and slightly green-tinged in the "More Blue" image. A nice control, I could see wedding and portrait photographers using this to tweak skin tones. Not to suggest that its effect is limited to the skin tones though: The control affects other colors in the image as well, it's just more immediately noticeable in the skin tones. Color balance is similar to the wider shot above, with good skin tones and accurate color elsewhere.

This is unusual, most digicams require less exposure compensation on this shot. Midtones show a lot of detail, and the highlights also remain fairly in check, once again thanks to the 20D's excellent contrast adjustment option. Resolution is again excellent, with a lot of fine, delicate detail visible throughout the frame.

The fine details of Marti's face and hair are very strong, as are even the smallest fabric details in her white shirt and the green leaves. Lens used this test: Canon Macro EF mm Low exposure with the default setting, but bright results with an EV boost.

Good color accuracy, but the flowers are slightly washed out by the harsh light from the flash. The strong, direct flash washes out Marti's skin tones, but overall color is about right, if a little flat.

The background incandescent lighting creates a very slight orange cast on Marti's hair, and in some of the shadows on the back wall. Very good color with the Manual and K white balance, and a good exposure as well. This shot is always a very tough test of a camera's white balance capability, given the strong, yellowish color cast of the household incandescent bulbs used for the lighting.

NOTE though, that the Incandescent white balance option in a pro-level camera like the 20D is quite properly set to match the K color temperature of professional tungsten studio lighting.

However, the Manual and 2,K options produced very good results. I chose the Manual setting for the main series, as the 2,K image was just a little warm for my taste. Many users might prefer it as being more faithful to the original scene though, and I myself would use it if this were a picture in which I wanted to preserve a warmer mood.

Skin tones look very natural, and overall color is about right. The blue flowers in the bouquet are dark and purplish, but that's to be expected under this very warm-hued light source. Another excellent performance. A big reason why the 20D's high-ISO images look so good is that the noise pattern is very fine-grained, with little of the blotchiness I'm accustomed to seeing in other cameras even other high-end D-SLRs.

The series of crops shown in the shot below are taken from the full-sized images linked via the table underneath. The softness in the low-ISO shots is doubtless the result of slight motion blur, as Marti moved slightly during the long exposure. The Daylight setting resulted in a warmer cast. I chose the Manual setting for the main shot, though it really wasn't all that different from the Auto shot. The white trim on the house is almost neutral, though a hint warm, but overall color still looks good.

Resolution is excellent, and detail is strong in the front shrubbery, as well as in the tree limbs above the roof. The EOSD's 8. Even though the poster was made from a MB scan of a 4x5 negative shot with a tack-sharp lens, the EOSD extracts practically all of the detail that's to be found here. Details are a hint soft throughout the frame, but definition is still quite good. This image is shot at infinity to test far-field lens performance.

NOTE that this image cannot be directly compared to the other "house" shot, which is a poster, shot in the studio. The rendering of detail in the poster will be very different from in this shot, and color values and even the presence or absence of leaves on the trees! In general though, you can evaluate detail in the bricks, shingles and window detail, and in the tree branches against the sky.

Compression artifacts are most likely to show in the trim along the edge of the roof, in the bricks, or in the relatively "flat" areas in the windows. This is my ultimate "resolution shot," given the infinite range of detail in a natural scene like this, and the EOSD does an excellent job.

Executive Overview 4. Design 5. Viewfinder 6. Optics 7. Video, Power, Software Color : Excellent color, hue-accurate, with good saturation. These comments relate to the 20D's default color mode. The EOSD's overall color was very good, generally hue-accurate, with appropriate saturation.

Like many digicams, including most d-SLRs, the 20D oversaturates strong reds a fair bit, but other colors are for the most part appropriately saturated. Bright blues and greens are slightly oversaturated, and a range from yellow-green through yellow to orange are slightly undersaturated. That's the technical description at least, but it turns out that photos from the camera look much more accurate and natural than a strictly numeric analysis of its color characteristics would indicate.

I suspect that this is because the 20D boosts the brightness in the same yellow-green to orange range through which it drops the saturation.

The net result is very natural-looking and pleasing color rendition across the spectrum. All in all, excellent color. For those interested, the illustration above from Imatest shows the color error for each swatch on the MacBeth chart. If you mouse over the image, you'll see the same plot for the EOSD, letting you compare the color response of the two cameras.

See the 20D's Imatest page for more details. Exposure : An accurate exposure system. EOSD's exposure system accurately exposed most of my test targets, both indoors and out, generally requiring less exposure compensation on tough subjects than did other cameras I've tested.

The camera's contrast adjustment option worked very well, allowing the 20D to do a much better than average job of holding onto both highlight and shadow detail under the deliberately awful lighting of the Sunlit Portrait shot. The one hiccup I encountered and a minor one at that was the slight overexposure it delivered at its default exposure setting on the Far-Field test.
