I've been asleep on this thread up until now but - the Canon 20Da
allows the user to lock up the mirror, open the shutter and view a
live image on the LCD monitor and/or a TV monitor connected to the
camera's video out terminal. Canon does charge a bit more for this
body though compared to the normal 20D.
