Summary: The best I ever owned.
Review: I have to admit that I am an amature photographer. I recently started this hobby when I got my baby. I used to shoot with Elan 7E and I was getting good result. Then I took a plunge and bought 10D and it changed everything. Now I can say I can take better pictures than most amatures. This is an amazing camera with so many functions that most of them I don't even use. I had blown it up to 12X18 and it looked great without any noise. I figured that in a long run cost of films and developing costs would even out if I take more than 1000 pics a months. It is so much fun when you are shooting like a pro photographer and not worrying about running out of films and you can always print the ones you like, not all of them.
Just one word: Get it if you can afford one and you will never look back to film cameras.

Summary: An awesome camera for an even better price!
Review: I'd been wanting to go digital with my photography hobby for a few years, and purchased a nice Nikon Coolpix only to find it was fine for casual shots but still not what I need for my action shots and more serious work. But the digital SLRs were too new, too expensive, and have too few of the feature I felt they needed for the price. When the Canon 10D came out, and I started reading the great reviews on it, I finally knew the time had come! After a few months of using it, I can report that I am totally happy I made the switch! First, even though Canon made lots of improvements over the D60, they lowered the price considerably. This camera has pretty much everything I need. The one big negative for most people, the fact that your focal lengths are multiplied by 1.6 is actually a bonus for me since I shoot almost exclusively with telephoto. If you do ultra-wideangle stuff, this is certainly a problem. Being able to switch the ISO setting is great. Sure, I could always swap my film mid-roll if I had to, but always had to waste a few frames, and it was always a pain to do. Not a problem now, just a simple camera setting. I shot some indoor stuff at both 1600 and 3200, the 3200 was not real useable, but the 1600 was pretty decent, particularly after some clean-up in Photoshop. That's of course the biggest advantage I find with digital. There's so much that I can do in Photoshop that I couldn't easily do with film. There's some excellent books out there on using Photoshop for digital photographers, and there are some great actions and filters that will help automate your corrections. I sell all my photos online through a website that handles all the printing and shipping for me as well, and does a great job with all my shots. I love being able to immediately see the shot that I took. I don't always have time between shots, but I can often review them later, and delete directly from the camera any obviously bad ones, and show off some of the great ones! It's a great learning tool and my skills have already started to improve as a result. Another great feature with digital is the EXIF information that gets embedded in the digital files. No need to record your shooting parameters, just open the file up in Photoshop (or other program that supports it) and you have all the information on your shot: date and time taken, fstop used, maximum fstop, shutter speed, exposure and white balance settings, focal length, etc. Really great particularly if you are just learning. The camera functions and menus are pretty easy to use and fairly intuitive, particularly if you are used to Canons as I was. The quality of your photos will be greatly improved with good lenses, don't spend this much for a camera and then get cheap lenses! Good glass is really essential. I would also strongly suggest that you get a USB 2.0 or Firewire compact flash reader for your computer rather than trying to download directly from the camera using the rather slow USB 1.1. If you shoot lots of photos this is practically essential, I can easily fill a couple of 1 gig cards in a session. Most of the gripes I have with the camera are fairly minor. I would like more than 6MP, more autofocus sensors, larger buffer (to handle more than 9 shots at a time), more frames a second, etc. But for the price, I don't think you will find a better digital camera,

Summary: Can't get any better.....at least for now.
Review: ... I thought the Oly was superb until I purchased the Canon 10D. Wow! The quality is magnificent. I originally purchased a[n] "L" series Canon 28-70mm lens with the camera. Great lens, but after testing the high end Tamron 28-105mm f/2.8, I decided to go with it. It was also ...less than the Canon lens and offers more zoom for the buck. I even prefer the photo quality over the Canon lens. I like the fact that I can shoot continuously. The Oly started to buffer after 6 shots and was very slow. The Canon has yet to slow me down when writing to the CF card. I recommend the 1 gig card as well as shooting everything in RAW mode - the highest format available. You can take almost 200 shots on the 1 gig card. This is my first exposure to RAW format and it is simply amazing! The manipulation you can do afterwards is mind boggling! Stuff that Adobe photoshop can't even touch! I'm ecstatic with this camera. I shoot mostly head shots, portraits and the detail is incredible. Need I say more?

Summary: I wish I could give it 100 stars
Review: This is what I have dreamed about for so long - a decently priced SLR camera with replaceable lenses and almost film resolution. I had seriously considered getting a D60 last year when rumors of the 10D started to appear, so I waited. I am glad I did. Image resolution is perfect. Yes, it could be higher, but remember - this is the same resolution you are going to get from a frame of 35mm film you have turned into PhotoCD images. I don't reall know what more to add - I am still speachless about just how great this camera is. I guess the best thing to compare it to would be to take your favorite 35mm SLR and toss in all the capabilities of your favorite digital then add a bunch more features to it. It is that perfect. I really look forward to using this camera over the next few years. It is my goal to wear it out and then go with whatever Canon comes up with then. They have a definite hit on their hands and deserve the biggest kudos. Additional stuff: One of my other hobbies is astronomy. I love to take pictures of the night sky. After doing a lot of film based astrophotography, I figured that this camera would be great to play with as well. It is even better than I could ever hope for! Being able to do 30 second exposures at ISO 1600 with very little noise is a real treat. Started off by shooting at ISO 800 and they came out just as good as the 800 speed film I usually use. So, just for grins, I kicked it up to 1600 to see what would happen. As soon as the first image finished and popped up on the LCD, I knew I was going to be really happy with the camera! Took a bunch of 30 second pics of Sagitarius and the dust lanes and dark patches of the center of our galaxy are wonderful! By doing this I did discover a nasty with the camera - you are stuck using the focusing screen that Canon puts in. This may not be a big deal to most, but when shooting the sky it helps to have brighter screens available. Maybe this will change some day. Anyway, since the image is kind of dim, you may want to drag along a laptop so you can see right then if the camera is in focus or not. As temperature changes, so does the point of focus at infinity on a lens. Having a laptop will let you see right then and there if things are okay.

Summary: Wow!
Review: I moved to this camera about two weeks ago from my Olympus E-10. The E-10 was a fine camera with great glass. I got some excellent photos from it. But the Canon 10D is in all ways a superior piece of hardware. It takes great photos, even in the fully automatic mode. You can use it as a point and shoot, or adjust the controls while you learn the finer points of photography. I purchased a 28-135mm IS USM lens here at Amazon to use with the camera, and it gives me a lot of versatility. A lot of 10D users seem to like this lens for general use. One of the most impressive features of the camera is its auto exposure ability. I was happily surprised to see how it could read the light and automatically adjust the settings in even difficult lighting situations. My Oly had a tendency to over expose slightly. Not the Canon. Again and again my Canon is right on. Fast AF, part of the Canon system, ISO up to 3200. And the controls are much more intuitive than those on my Oly. Its got everything. Just one word of warning: this is an SLR, not a camera to fit in your pocket or your purse. It's a heavy piece of equipment.

Summary: Great Camera
Review: This camera has given me no trouble at all regarding the image "softness" that people have been discussing, along with no mechanical issues. I think that I have figured out the focusing problem that people have been dealing with. When using a cheaper lens, such as the standard ef 28-80, due to the great decrease in lens quality around the outside of the lens, the seven-point autofocus system tries to compensate for it by creating a somewhat average focus on one's subject. I noticed this and for cheaper lenses, and have found a solution. If you switch the camera to program mode, you can select to utilize only the center autofocus point, which gives you crisp, in-focus images. When you get a better lens, such as a fixed lens or one of Canon's L lenses, you can use all seven autofocus points, and the pictures will turn out great.
As to the 1.6x magnification due to the smaller sensor, I barely notice it. As pertaining to the other review that said that it ends up resulting in a lower resolution, this is not neccessarily true. This could happen, but to find the resulting resolution you would not just divide the resolution by 1.6, other methods would have to be utilized. Regardless, the pictures that you can create with this camera are astounding, and will blow other digital cameras out of the water!

Summary: Almost there
Review: A great camera overall. I thought it would be a great transition from my EOS film camera with EF lenses. But sadly, your lenses WILL NOT work the same way. This is due to the sensor chip not being full-frame (35mm). Had it been, It would have gotten 5 stars. Right now, your lenses are less wide in angle. This really defeats the purpose of it being compatible with EF lenses. Too bad. Canon almost had it for a great consumer camera.

Summary: Simply Perfect
Review: This camera is simply perfect. The adjustability, ease of use, and battery life are amazing. Shot for a whole day (7a.m. to about 7p.m.) and only while finally downloading the images to my computer (the 250 of them I took) did I get the 'Low Battery' light. It seems to compensate the white balance a lot better than my Sony, and focuses faster than my last Canon SLR (I have a Canon 28-200mm USM lens). It has a big enough buffer to allow you to shoot one after another in single shot mode. In 'burst' mode you may be backed up a bit waiting though. The look of the camera is very 'classy'. The high resolution and ability to have full manual or automatic control make it perfect for amaterus and pros. Could have used a firewire interface for faster download speed (the USB does take a while with the larger size images), but that isn't enough to take away from a 5-Star Rating. I'd give it a 10 if the scale went that high!

Summary: Great camera
Review: This is one great camera! I owned a D30 before which at the time was an excellent DSLR also.
The 10D's accurate and fast auto-focus is an enormous improvement over the D30 and D60. The magnesium alloy body feels a lot sturdier than previous models. Battery life is almost endless, especially if you use the BG-ED3 battery grip which contains two batteries. Picture quality is almost flawless. Perhaps a little soft right out of the camera, but that's easily remedied in Photoshop. Color rendition is great, particularly if you take the time to build your own color profiles.
For the price you can't go wrong. Spend some of the money you save in buying the 10D instead of a more expensive camera on one of Canon's "L" lenses. You won't regret it.
Unfortunately the Canon software that ships with the 10D sucks. Never mind. Buy a decent RAW file conversion utility like Capture One DSLR LE and keep yourself happy. Believe me, your sanity is worth the $... extra.

Summary: There is one major downside
Review: The 1.6x magnification. How does this work? Do we only see a smaller percentage of the frame, as I suspect, and therfore the resolution should be divided by 1.6 to give a true figues of 3.93 mega pixels. stil good, and all the positive features of the camera should not be overlooked, but it is very limiting. one of my favourite photographic techniques is to take a close up portrait with a wide angle lens. you can get a really interesting subject with a nice background too, but for a 28mm shot with this camera, you need a 17mm lens; for 24mm you need 14mm ... count the extra costs of these lenses (expensive) if you ever want to take a landscape shot again
