I know you can do this using Photoshop, but can the 20D do double exposure on the camera? I've been looking over the manual and a book written about the camera and can't find anything that looks like a double exposure setting.

Help if you can. I know that film cameras did this.

There is film in film cameras to be double exposed. With digital you are working with distinct files. What you could do is exposure bracketing.

The only DSLR that I have seen that can do "double exposures" is the D2x, which will composite two files in the camera. Otherwise, Photoshop it is.

And even that is using software, the camera really is not exposing the existing photograph again...

No, but the result is the same by making a third image that is in fact made from 2 or double exposures... in the camera (no post processing required) with the advantage of having both originals intact. ;)
