It can be done, but the 20D (like most digital cameras) has some IR-blocking incorporated in the anti-alias filter over the sensor. IR does get through, but you need really long shutter speeds to capture it. I'm not sure, but I believe I've read that there are Photoshop techniques for creating IR-like photos from normal exposures.

All digital sensors are sensitive to IR. I have a Powershot G6. I tried this, saw the light (though it was dim) and purchased a R72. Well, it works well as long as I have something to put the camera on! By the way, there are sites that describe how to remove the IR filters of the digital cameras. Also, I would cauion you to be carefull with the focus, it goes weird and hard to control (i.e. I can't control the focus) with my G6 + R72... I read about the IR-like photos but I like the idea of not knowing what's gonna pop out of that LCD... a little scary :) Good Luck!

oh, if you discover how to edit photos on PS let me/us know. I'm curious about that bc. I can't usually get rid of the red color easily (and I don't like the b&w w/ infrared most of the time)

photoshop filters for IR are NOT the same. the newer (last 5 yrs) digital camera do have a blocking filter that you can remove..or pay a pro to do. it can cost $300-$500..so you have to be serious about it.i use an old olympus 2000 or 2020 with an attached hoys r72 and get very good results altho I am wanting to convert a canon rebel or 20D. www.pandlphotos.com/infrared I think is where my samples are.

Perry, here's a good link for IR Photography: http://dpfwiw.com/ir.htm#sensitive The older style cameras are more sensitive to the IR signal, and you don't need long exposures with the R72 filter. I started IR photography with an Olympus C2100 camera...and yes, I could clearly see the infrared laser from my TV remote control. After I realized I liked IR photography, I mailed in my Digital REbel back-up camera and had it converted for IR. It's great. No R72 filter or long exposures. I have alot of IR shots in my gallery; the current ones are with the converted the Rebel and the older ones are the Olympus. My post today is an IR shot. Feel free to hit my contact button if you have questions on IR photography, or what I do with Photoshop when playing around with them.
