I've read some stuff recently about lockups with the 20D.
I have had mine since march and not seen a problem - until this week.
Thursday I was messing with an IR filter and trying different timings to see what I could get out of it. I turned on long exposure noise reduction and took a few shots.Then took another and whilst waiting for the NR cyle to complete after the shot I pressed the shot setting buttons - and the camera went to err99. Removed and replaced battery and all was OK.
Today at Duxford with a battery which was getting pretty low it just froze. Power off did nothing (as for err99 problem also). New battery and all was well again.
Can't say I'm worried by this yet - probably just coincidence. Just wondering what the average experience is for lockups.
