Canon EOS-10D 6.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) Description
Canon's EOS-10D 6.3-megapixel digital SLR builds on the strengths of the award-winning EOS-D60 and offers a range of improvements to both the camera's design and its feature set. It offers a seven-point wide-area autofocus system, fast 3-frames-per-second burst rate, and an ergonomic, super-tough magnesium alloy body shell.
The 6.3-million effective pixel CMOS sensor--providing up to 3,072 x 2,048 pixels--is supported by Canon's unique high-power DIGital Imaging Core (DIGIC) processor. The speed at which the DIGIC processor works has allowed Canon to extend the number of full resolution images in burst sequences to nine, at a rate of 3 frames per second. As well as improved speed, DIGIC also helps produce more accurate color rendition while reducing image noise.
The metering system, using the newest metering algorithm available and a 35-zone evaluative metering system linked to all seven focus points, offers improved exposure consistency and stability. A range covering ISO 100 to 1,600 offers high-quality images across a very broad spectrum of shooting conditions. Photographers working in particularly poor light may also take advantage of an option to extend this range to ISO 3,200.
The EOS-10D is the first digital SLR camera to feature direct printing. Linking via a USB cable, you can make prints immediately from any of Canon's range of compatible bubble jet or CP printers--including the S830D, S530D, and CP-100--without the need to connect to a computer. Controls within the camera's own menu system allow you to choose print quantity, size, and image cropping. When using Canon's card photo printer CP-100, with the optional battery pack, prints can be made in the field away from a power supply.
Other features include:
• Automatic selection of FAT16 or FAT32 file systems, to support large-capacity CompactFlash Type I or II memory cards of over 2 GB storage size (such as Microdrives).
• 1.8-inch TFT (transreflective) LCD monitor with five brightness levels and 10x zoom.
• Super Intelligent Orientation Sensor detects whether the camera is being held in the portrait or landscape orientation when an image is captured, and automatically rotates the image in the camera's LCD preview screen and on a computer when downloading using Canon's ZoomBrowser software.
• Extended battery life providing approximately 650 images without flash or 500 images with 50 percent flash.
• Ability to save an image in RAW format even when it was shot in JPEG mode.
The EOS-10D comes complete with battery pack, compact single battery-charging unit, USB cable, video cable, the latest Canon software and Photoshop Elements. The EOS-10D accepts the same BP-511 battery pack, and the same BG-ED3 battery grip as the EOS-D60.

One of the best... ,posted October 13, 2004
Reviewer: Anonymous from Naperville, Illinois I have had the 10D since it was first released earlier this year. My previous digital cameras were a Canon D30 and an Olympus D600. Needless to say the 10D is way ahead of those two.
However, this is not a camera that you can just grab from the box and start shooting. If you want to shoot in the highest quality mode -- Canon RAW, you need to understand that the images will require some work in Photoshop or a similar application before they look their best -- colour levels will need tweaking and sharpening will need to be applied. If you want to point, shoot, download and print with little or no extra work, then shooting in JPEG mode is the way to go, and some of the picture settings on the camera (sharpening, colour saturation etc) will have to be tweaked for best results. Essential accessories are: BG-ED (otherwise known as BigEd) camera grip that provides space for two batteries, and adds vertical shooting controls; Speedlite 550EX for automated flash photography; Cokin filter system.
Exceeded my expectations ,posted October 3, 2004
Reviewer: Anonymous from Naperville, Illinois I first saw the Canon D60 three years ago in a photograph shown in a newspaper column right after 9/11. The camera was owned by a professional photographer and the photograph showed the D60 all dirty and beaten up from doing its job at ground zero along with the photographer. The design and ruggedness of the camera catched my attention; instantly I was impressed and wanted to own one (though I am not a professional photographer and have not owned a camera for the past 15 years, nor have I taken any pictures since then). However, after some research, I was a bit dissappointed--the price was out of my range.
Even since then I have kept my eye on the D60's price and product development to its present 10D model. Finally about three weeks ago I decided to plunge down the cash and bought it through Amazon. In the three week period, I have treaded all over the city with my new 10D and snapped pictures after pictures; all throughout this camera still hasn't ceased to impress me.
For a beginner like me, with the 10D, snapping pictures that closely resemble the pros' is as easy as pressing a button. All my pictures are crisp clear and sharp, the seven point focus within the viewfinder is the best thing since slice bread. (I never knew the streets I have been walking everyday for the past 20+ years could look this good in pictures.) I have also been taking pictures of people and then burning the photos to a CD as a gift, people just love me for it.

Reviewer: Airvae from Chicago, Illinois This camera is everything I desired in a digital camera and so much more. While other kids played baseball and football I grew up with a Pentax MX strapped around my neck. Photography was and is my passion. This camera allows me the expression I always dreamed of. Combined with Adobe Photoshop, this is the best camera/darkroom setup I've ever worked with!
