Canon EOS 20D
The Canon EOS 20D is an APS-C digital SLR introduced in 2004, using Canon's EF and EF-S lens mount. It sat in Canon's mid-range enthusiast line, positioned above the consumer Rebel series and below the full-frame bodies of the time.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the EOS 20D have ranged from around £19 to £200, with most bodies selling in the £25–£44 bracket — wholesale saleroom results that sit well below dealer asking prices. As of 2026, what an EOS 20D is worth is firmly condition- and kit-driven: a clean, working body with a lens can sell for significantly more than a shutter-tired body alone. The single £200 result in the sales history reflects a complete, well-presented example rather than typical pricing.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Canon EOS 20D sell for today?
Recent UK auction hammer prices range from about £19 for body-only lots in unknown condition to around £200 for clean, complete examples, with most sales landing between £25 and £44.
What is a Canon EOS 20D worth with a lens?
Bodies bundled with a working EF or EF-S lens tend to sell toward the upper end of the observed range; the highest recent auction result was £200 for a more complete example.
Is the Canon EOS 20D still usable?
Yes — it takes the full EF and EF-S lens range, and CF cards plus BP-511A batteries remain easy to source, though the 8.2MP sensor and older high-ISO performance place it behind current bodies.
Why do prices for the EOS 20D vary so widely?
Condition, shutter count, and whether a lens or charger is included are the main drivers; tired body-only lots sell for under £30, while tested working kits can reach into the low hundreds.
