Second Camera.

[chouglez]

Already have a Canon 350D and 4 lenses. Canon 60mm EF-S, Sigma 10-20 DC, 18-55 kit lens & Tamron 28-300.

Thinking of going for a second Camera and cannot decide between 20D or 30D?

If I have to use all of the above lenses then which one of the 20D or 30D is more suitable or both are?

Any advice is very much appreciated.

If your looking at the 20D or 30D I think either one would be your primary camera over the 350D. I use a 20D with grip as my backup camera to a 5D and it has always performed well. I also have a 10D that I still use and get great results, you can pick them up really cheap now...Ian

The 20 and 30 are essentially the same apart from a couple of relatively minor but useful changes. Bigger LCD, spot metering and 1/3 (?) stop ISO adjustments on the 30D. If you can afford it go for it

As Dod says if you can afford the 30D go for that one.

When I asked for advice on cameras, the biggest vote was for a 30D (apart from those who thought I ought to cross to the dark side ). Apparently its V good.

30D if you can afford the little extra cash, otherwise 20D which is readily available SH for around the £400-450 mark. Add £100-150 for a SH 30D. You could also go for a second 350D which can be had for £275-300 SH. Same controls so easy to switch. The 30D/20D are quite different and actually more usable IMO.
