Default Need Advice on Canon? ... 30D vs. 20D

I need advise on which camera to purchase tomorrow.
Should I get a Canon 20D or 30D

The only difference I can see from their web site is the 20D has 23 FPS vs 30 frames in burst mode for the 30D.

1 - What other differences are there between the two models?

2 - What's the price difference?

3 - Anyone here have a friend or buddy who works at a camera store for a discount?

Thanks,

I think it is more important to spend more money to buy a good professional quality "L" lense.

If I were buying today I'd get the 30D for the much larger LCD on the back and quieter shutter.

But gs400998 is right, getting great lenses is really important although they don't have to be Canon L lenses.

Depends on if you want the larger screen and larger buffer. Price difference isn't much, probably a couple of hundred. You can pick up the 20D now for a bit over 1100. As for discounts, don't count on it. Most store employees have to order out for their discount, and Canon will ususally treat them as "last priority", so there is a wait, even though they might have some in stock. It's such a new camera right now that the demand is quite high. Even my Canon Professional status won't earn me a discount!
