Summary: Great low-level Pro digital
Review: I'm a pro photographer in the midwest who was very affraid to go digital. I bought this camera for a particular shoot in which my biggest (multi million dollar) client asked for the shoot to be done in digital. Not only have I never looked back, I try to sway every other photographer (and customer) I know about the benefits of digital. The shots are great as long as you dont put a polarizer filter on. For some reason (other 10Ds tested as well) a polarizer filter inhibits the cameras shutter speed. Regardless, I, and my customers LOVE this product!

Summary: Not discontinued, but mostly out of stock due to huge demand
Review: This is the digital SLR that would possibly put an end to film cameras. I bought one a month ago and I was amazed at quality of the pictures. I own a Rebel for 2 yrs, sold it, and never look back. The great thing about this camera is that it records all important information such as f stop, aperture, histogram, white balance, and other good stuff on each photo. This information has greatly helped me learn quickly and avoid future mistakes. The manuals are helpful but you can get lots of tips and techniques on the web. This camera is a hot item right now. If you go to Bestbuy or Circuit City, most stores are out of stock. Fortunately I got the last one from the local store. No regrets so far.

Summary: 10D Discontinued???
Review: I had a similar experiences to the previous poster from two different camera stores. A Ritz Camera saleswoman in Manassas, VA told me last week that Ritz no longer carries the 10D because it's being phased out in favor of the EOS Digital Rebel. I personally can't stand the Digital Rebel; it's so light it feels like a toy. I travel to remote war-torn parts of the world and need a rugged, dependable camera. I was just about to plunk down my money for a 10D after deciding the 10D was better than the Nikon D100 (for my needs, anyway). If anyone has more details, please post! Thanks.

Summary: Outstanding design and execution
Review: I've owned a 10D with the 70-200M L-series 2.8 zoom for about 3 weeks now. Truly, it is a revelation. My principal use is to photograph equestrian sports. This is my first "serious" digital camera. Prior equipment was largely Contax SLR and G2. The 10D has produced image quality of astonishing color fidelity and clarity. I've enlarged and printed "action" photos to 11 x 14 with results that professionals believe compare favorably and in fact are better than can be produced with 35mm film. The 10D is well made. It is complex, but to a reasonably well-informed photographer, the complexity serves many useful purposes that facilitate creative control. There is a great deal of information available that enables rapid adaptation to lighting conditions and that facilitates optimum exposures. I was influenced in buying the 10D by the fact it offers a 3FPS burst mode and a 9 frame buffer, as I often shoot fast-moving subjects. I haven't needed it. The focus speed of the 70-200 L series lens and the instant response of the 10D shutter have meant I get the shot I want at the moment I see it - no bursts necessary. Having come to this system from the fine Zeiss lenses of the Contax line, my final comment is that the one L series lens I have makes me want another. As suggested by the wide use of these lenses by professional sports photographers, you get what you pay for.

Summary: A Superb Tool
Review: I have had the Canon 10D for about 6 months. After getting it I sold my film cameras because I don't use them any longer. The camera is comfortable to hold. The controls are intuitive. The Canon manual is clearly written and easy to understand (unusual in my experience). You can change ISO from shot to shot and there is very little noise up to ISO 800. You can go to 1600 or evene 3200 but there is a lot of noise. The automatic white balance is good -- but not great. I shoot in Canon RAW so you can adjust white balance, exposure and contrast later. This is just wonderful. The Canon software is slow and clunky so I use Photoshop CS. Photoshop CS brings Canon RAW images in seamlessly and allows a myriad of useful adjustments. The auto focus is good. I have the camera programmed to focus where I select. When I do this the focus accuracy is near 100%. In fully automatic mode it is less accurate. The body is part metal and part plastic and feels pretty rugged but it is not a full professional body. The internal flash is modest but useful to have in a pinch. I ended up buying the 550 EX which is excellent. A good digital camera is more than megapixels. Canon's firmware is second to none. IMHO, Canon is the clear leader in digital cameras. Buy with confidence.

Summary: A Great Camera
Review: This is the first digital camera that matches the performance, warmth and detail that I get from my non-digital rigs. Nothing will replace the art of developing and printing in a lab, but the 10D repeatedly produces beautiful images with ease. I use the tungsten white balance settings quite a bit; they are the best I've seen to date. I also recommend the Canon EOS remote trigger for product photography and a Tiffen UV filter for out of doors work. Sample images can be seen here: http://www.jasonmichaels.com/objects - Enjoy this camera. Regards, Jason Michaels

Summary: A spectacularly good camera. Film is now largely obsolete!
Review: This camera and its direct competitor, the Nikon D100, herald the death of film. With the Canon EOS-10D you can take gorgeous pictures in digital format with all of the advantages generally associated with conventional film. You can use the full array of Canon's excellent line of autofocus lenses interchangeably with the 10D. The exposure system on the 10D compares very favorably with the best of Canon's conventional film SLR cameras. But with a 6.3Megapixel camera like the 10D you can save the pictures to disk (CD, DVD or Hard Disk) or print them out, all without paying extra money for either film or developing. Plus, you can delete bad shots "on the fly." With a 512MB CF card you can store hundreds of images depending on the quality you select, download them to your computer, and then re-use the card. There just aren't many advantages to using film anymore, and in my opinion there are no significant ones for the vast majority of photographers. In fact, it is notorious that once photogs try digital, many or most of them never go back to film. The 10D is beautifully built, with a rugged metal body and quality construction throughout. Canon really went all-out to make this their flagship for the near-professional digital SLR line. I had the privilege of shooting the Canon 10D and Nikon D100 side-by-side. The differences were not particularly significant in my opinion, and the two cameras are pretty similar, although there are differences, a detailed discussion of which is beyond the scope of this review. I will say that I cannot imagine any photographer except pros with certain very specialized needs failing to be pleased with this camera or, for that matter, with its Nikon competition the D100. The other huge advantage of digital versus film is that any user owning a PC and fairly inexpensive software can post-process the D10 images very effectively. Digital processing on one's personal computer gives the average person with a little practice more control by far over the images, in fact, than the professional developer in a conventional chemical/film darkroom can exercise. The digital darkroom has arrived, and it is affordable to almost anyone these days! At $1,400 or so, this camera is a very decent value for what you get. For those who really want a digital SLR with interchangeable lenses, but who cannot quite handle the pricetag of the 10D, Canon also offers the Digital Rebel, which while somewhat less capable than the 10D, is also a good camera for less money. The 10D is a camera that is a pleasure to own and use.

Summary: Not discontinued.
Review: This camera is not discontinued and Canon can not keep up with demand as it is. The general opinion of those making predictions is that it might get a minor upgrade this spring.
Cameraworld used to be a great place to buy Cameras and I would drive down to Seattle not just to save the sales tax, but also because the price was lower than any shops in Seattle as well. Last time I went there though I noticed they had been bought out by Ritz Camera and I felt like I was in one of their mall stores. Definitely not the same place it used to be and I guess I will be ordering all my camera equipment online from now on.

Summary: Where did the D10 go?
Review: So here I am in Portland, OR last week, I walk into Camera World and the guy tells me the Canon D10 has been discontinued. Does he have any info on the D10? No. Why did it go away? I don't know. Were there problems with the camera? I don't know. Will there be a replacement soon? I don't know. Should the salesman be in another line of work, or is something amiss here?
I was comparing this camera with the Nikon D100 for my first digital SLR. Now I don't know where to turn. Russ
