So I found an excellent deal on a Canon
EOS-20D 8.2 Mega pixel camera off craigslist.I am going to go and pick it up today, but I was wondering if there is any common problem with these cameras that I should look for before I hand over my money? I am just a little paranoid that I will buy the camera and something will go wrong two days later.
So besides turning it on, snapping a few photos, looking at the LCD screen, and making sure the shudder isn't sticking, is there anything else I should check?
Anyone who has been ripped off before can probably understand my bit of paranoia.
Thanks!

*shutter :)

Maybe find out how many shutter actuations it has, look at the mirror inside see if there is any permanent damage. I guess if you had a lap top maybe bring it, download some images / test it out that way?
I'm guessing this camera is 2-3 years old tops? Shouldn't have too many problems

verify if the sensor is still ok...do a shot of blue sky and check if any pixels are missing

Is it just the body? or lens too?

Thanks everyone, I highly appreciate it.
@canuck, it's the body and the stock (crappy:) lens
