Digital BW, The Print

Regarding the complexity of digital - there is an interesting article  
on choosing a digital camera on photo.net web site. I wonder if this  
still applies to the EOS 20D?

http://photo.net/equipment/digital/choosing2/

"Many people have been disappointed by the (in April 2003) new Canon  
EOS 10D, the first digital SLR to come close to a (rich) consumer's  
price range, simply because it is too complex. It is designed as a  
professional tool and more than likely, if you use it as a point and  
shoot automatic, your results will be less than those of a camera  
designed for that purpose. In general, unless you have been using an  
SLR for years as advanced amateur or professional, if you need to  
read this article to learn about digital photography, you are not  
ready for a digital SLR. You have been warned."
