The 20D is considered with specs if the AF system is within 1 DOF of correct focus. The comparable spec for the EOS 1-series cameras is within 1/3 DOF. I'd have a hard time believing the R9's viewscreen spec is comparable to the 20D's AF spec. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
