Default OT camera question

PJ Sam or anyone else who can help out here....
Looking to purchase a new digital SLR. Have always used Canon and
my dad swore by Canon. I'm leaning towards the Canon 20D.
Any thoughts or valid arguements for another one? Looking to start side business of photographing kids and pets and whatever else comes up. Anyone have this camera? What do you think of it?

Looking to spend between $1800-$4000.00 tops!

Thanks for any help,
Cyndi

Do you currently have lenses?
If you are just starting out, why not pick up a less expensive DSLR. Like the Nikon D50.

I currently have a Cannon 20D. No complaints with it. Does everything you need and more. I too have been with Cannon for a while, S410, G2.

If you need more info, let me know.

I currently have two Canon lenses I use for both my APS SLR and my 35mm, a zoom and wide angle, pretty multi purpose at this point. I have an HP digital camera as well I've been playing around with for about 2-3 years now....I'm not new to the world of photography, just new to digital SLR's. I was of the old school opinion that once you start messing around with a photo it's no longer photography but rather computer generated pictures....but, times they are a changing and this is what people want....the perfect shot!
