Summary: Best of class, and the most inexpesive..BONUS!
Review: I have had my 10D a month now. I have taken some of the best pictures of my life with this camera. Performance is incredible, pictures are fantastic, and I am totally satisfied. A few notes to save others grief...Unless you are taking dozens of photos or professionally working, the one battery lasts a long time. I have yet to use my spare. Lenses used are the tamron 17-35 mm wide angle, which converts to about 28mm-50mm with the focal multiplier, and the Tamron 28-300 XR Ultra Zoom, which I had to borrow because Amazon is out right now..grr. I tried a 70-210 USM from Canon, and the top end was soft, so I am sticking with Tamron until I can get an L lens. Finally, I tried to use a Quantaray lens to compare, but it only worked part of the time. Possible compatibility issue.

Summary: Does it contain the basic lens or is it extra ???
Review: Hi, I just wanted to know if the D10 comes with a basic lens (35-90 or whatever) or do we have to buy it extra ???

Summary: Worth the Wait.
Review: The Canon 10D is an improved version of the D60. The camera has many improvments and dropped in price ... You can be a advanced user or a newbie. Take about 1 hour to read the manual, it will be worth the time. Auto focus is the best I have ever experinced with a digital camera. ...

Summary: Photo Paradise
Review: This camera is absolutely a photo heaven compared with all other SLR's in the same category. Picture quality is unparelled and ease of use is directly derived from Canon's long line of SLR's. The structure is solid and pro-like and the battery life is amazing unless you use CF of more than 1G which will add to the slowness of the processing time. I am not sure this is because of the new software or what. I would not complain about the non-full frame part. Cameras in this price range may only get this 0.625 of the full frame, but the effect on wide zoom can be fatal. Buyers who wants to shoot lots of buildings need to weigh the pros and cons as not so many wide lens are catered to DSLR after all.

Summary: Absolute Heaven
Review: With the exception of the lack of a full 35mm frame CMOS sensor, this camera is absolutely perfect. The images are wonderful, the camera functions quickly, and a serious photographer will be delighted in the control they have over the operation of the camera. It works very well for a quality obsessed amatuer like myself. Worth every penny. This is my first digital SLR, my film SLR is a low end Canon Rebel. This is the first digital camera that doesn't make we want to go back to film due to slow responses and poor image quality. Happy Happy Joy Joy.The smaller than full frame sensor changes the lenses you might use, if you plan on re-using lenses you should do some research to understand how it will affect them. I got a 28-105mm Canon USM and I'm very happy with it.

Summary: An Outstanding almost perfect Digital SLR
Review: I have owned and used each of Canon's Digital SLR's - the D30, D60, the 1D and now the 10 D (I'll wait for the 1Ds to drop in price) Of all, this camera outperms the others. It's autofocus is much better than the D30 or D60 and the flash compatibility problems of the 1D are not nearly as evident in this new Camera. The camera is lighter, yet sturdier than the others, although the 1D is probably stronger body. The image quality of this camera is among the best of the Digital Slr' on the market - outperforming the Fuji & Nikon's, ... The only draw back, which prevents a perfect 5 star rating, is the write speed and burst rate tends to be slower than the 1D. ... So who cares, unless you are shooting sports or other high action fast moving large quanity rapid burst photograph - save the bucks or get two of these - that's my plan

Summary: Tops in its category
Review: This is my first digital SLR. I have an old PowerShot A50 and a very old Canon AE-1 35mm film camera. This camera is really a great blend of the two. With all of the options available you can take as much control as you want over the exposure. The resolution is excellent. I found the real limitation of my old digital was the low resolution. For 4x6 prints it was great, but you really couldn't do much else. The 10D has over 6 megapixels, which give you much more flexibility in Photoshop. As a real SLR it can take any EOS lense. I have the 50/1.8 and the 24-85. I can't stress how great the quality of this camera is. From the magnesium case to the excellent software package, Canon really did this one right.

Summary: Not happy with this camera
Review: I have owned a Canon TX and Canon 650 film cameras. I was always very happy with my Canon film cameras. I bought the 10d thinking that I was finally able to get a digital replacement for my old Canon film cameras. I have now owned my 10d for over a year. The picture quality is only fair. It often selects ISO 100 and gives me fuzzy pictures. The white balance is extremely poor compared with the film cameras. The "full automatic" mode does a poor job of focus and white balance. The "creative" modes are similar to the film cameras but don't seem to work so very well. I am just having a terrible time trying to get the settings right to get good pictures! After a year of trying I am extremely frustrated with it. Finally, the print pictures I get from it are _always_ too dark. It seems I need to post-process EVERY PICTURE in photoshop to get the gamut correct, or brighten/enhance/correct the photos to make them look right. Argh! It's all probably user error, but I never had these problems with my old film cameras. If I could easily get PhotoCDs made I would go back to film immediately!

Summary: A Very Solid Product
Review: The controls are a little complicated to get used to, especially the all-manual settings -- which should by definition be easy to use -- but overall this camera is very rugged and very capable. After I bought it, I took the D10 to Budapest, Hungary. I had a great view of the Danube and set my camera up for night shots. It did a brilliant job. How about this: take a digital night shot (use the largest image size possible), use a 300mm lense and blow the results up to 24x30 through Shutterfly.com. Image remained amazingly sharp. Colors were fantastic. The camera made it easy to look like a pro. The only gripe I have with this camera is that I wish it had a black and white setting like other less expensive Canon digitals, but this can be overcome with software so it's not a huge issue. The price is great, it has a magnesium body (vs. the Rebel's plastic body). You get a lot of the D1/D20/D30, without the cost.

Summary: Great Camera, one major flaw
Review: I have had this camera for about 6 months. I love digital cameras, but my early sony's were too slow. This camera is very very fast. The detail is incredible. I have taken thousands of photos and rarely have any that are under exposed. probably one in two hundred. This would be even less if I were more competent.
The one major short coming I have had with this camera is that it locks up. I will get the display "PA-A" and it won't go away. This is generally only displayed when I first turn the camera on and it last only a split second. Othertimes, however, this message pops up in the middle of shoots and locks up the camera. The fix is a quick removal of the battery from its contacts. I have gotten pretty fast at it, but this should never be an issue. I have heard that this is a problem with the new 20D as well. That is not very reassuring.
