Canon and Nikon have long been head-to-head competitors in the SLR (single-lens reflex) camera market, and that fierce rivalry has carried over into the digital-SLR market as well. The $1,499 Canon EOS 20D body is Canon's latest counter to Nikon's best-selling $999 Nikon D70 body, which was an Editors' Choice winner in the digital SLR category (and Nikon's answer to Canon's $900 Digital Rebel). In addition to offering a higher resolution and better construction than the D70, the EOS 20D is a stellar performer capable of capturing spectacular images.
