20d bodies are made from magnesium, weigh a fair bit, but solid as hell. Mine is 6-7years old, has been dropped numerous times, taken 150k + shutter actuations, been drowned in a drain (poop incursion), been out in the rain, put on a good 50,000 air miles (and baggage handling). Mine looks dreadful, most of the paint worn off, but everything still works perfect.
they are a fair age SLR now, but still boast 8MP, a 1/8000th - 30 sec + bulb shutter, a decent sized viewfinder (notably bigger than 300/350/400/450d etc) and ridiculous battery life (I use amazon uniross batteris, £13 each, and with light use often do not bother taking a spare, as I get 1500-2000 shutter drops or a few weeks of occasional use).
buy it.
