Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Image quality. Price of admission. Extensive, unparalleled lens selection the EOS system offers. Build quality. Backed by an innovative juggernaut. Huge user community.

Weakness: No spot meter! AF is still problematic and not as good as the competition. AF-point selection is a joke. Slow wake-up time means missing fleeting shots. Image review takes forever! Slow CF write times.

I have had a Nikon D100 for a number of months, and have purchased the Canon 10D to gain access particularly to Canon's long stabilized primes. Generally speaking, Canon's EF lens line is more complete, robust, featured, and, of all things, cheaper than their Nikon counterparts. Having lost patience with Nikon's slow development and release, I switched to Canon -- with mixed results. Let me...

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Canon fixed the autofocus problem of the D60. Very good Digital SLR for the price

Weakness: Did not come with an AC adapter. Everything else is minor.

The Canon 10D is a serious upgrade from the Canon D60, while there was no improvement in resolution, all of the serious complaints of the D60 appear to have been fixed. The biggest complaint with the D60's Autofocus has definately been corrected in the 10D. Most of the components of the two are compatable and I have used the 10D with the D60's AC adapter, since you are required to buy it...

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Professional quality SLR, Interchangeable lenses, 6.5 Megapixel low-noise CMOS sensor, customized functions, metal body.

Weakness: Big size compared to compact pocket cameras, expensive but still a value in its class.

The Bottom Line: A professional fully featured digital SLR camera at an incredible price. Suitable for advanced hobbyists, professionals and high-end consumers. This camera would be overkill for almost 90% of average consumer use. Professionals will find it convenient, and a bargain compared to alternative digitalback solutions.

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Flash Exposure Lock,Canon Remote capture software for studio, High ISO,PC Sync, Fast AI Servo 50 kph (31 mph) With a few leans

Weakness: Price, A lot of strange dots in the picture, price the new Nikon 70D, No benefit from low aperture on Canon lenses (dpreview, Canon EOS-300D Rebel, lens)

To understand what I am talking about go to: dpreview (he overlook of using the Sony DSC-F828 at lower aperture like F 2.0) He has good comparison to canon lenses under Canon EOS-300D Rebel Look at the dots in the picture at the Canon EOS-10D luminous-landscape (he compare Sony DSC-F828 to Canon 10D and he think the quality at lower aperture is the same ) Go to bestbuy and use the camera Sony...

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: The AF has improved from past EOS models. The battery life. The body is well built.

Weakness: The lens magnification, but you can work around it. Not more than one memory slot.

The Canon 10D is an all around great camera, for $1500, you can't go wrong, you cant expect the best of the best for that price. It's a great buy, I plan to get the Canon EOS 1Ds soon.

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Quality and Value. $1499 for 6+ meg resolution is the reason I bought it. Ability to tweak photo settings like auto rotate, saturation, contrast etc (unless in Adobe RGB mode) is nice to have.

Weakness: Can't use LCD as a viewfinder (menu functions only). In Program mode, the auto flash is TOO automatic sometimes & pops up to flash when you don't need it (but you can fix that w/ manual settings).

I bought this camera to back up my Olympus E-10 and noticed a big difference in background resolution, photo quality etc. For $1499 you can't go wrong. Unless you see otherwise, this is a BODY ONLY. Don't get fooled by pictures of the camera showing the body and lens. You only get the body! If you're going to buy this top notch camera, invest in a good lens...you'll be glad you did. See some of...

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Super fast focus,Great quality construction,this camera does everything,with the correct lense it will do anything.

Weakness: big and bulky, but to be expected, hard to get use to all the settings, you have to think every shot through it is a Pro camera

One needs to be good with a camera to get the full benefits of this camera. You need to go to the "L" series lenses to derive the best benefits. Doing 13x19 prints is a snap with this camera and the colors are rich.

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Very robust it has a nice, professional feel and can work hard all day long. Great workhorse once it gets out of the starter pen! Shutter responsive and menu and controls intuitive

Weakness: Lack of immediate delete function (ability to take an image, review immediately and delete before committing to card - consumer snap models have this feature, v useful). Battery life could be longer.

Have had this camera a good time now, nearly a year. It is somewhere between the professional feel of a Nikon F5 (and Canon equivalents) and a robust film 35mm. I have taken the camera round the world, it has been in 45 celcius heat in Western Australia, freezing in the winter of UK and wet several times on boat trips in Hawaii. I have taken over 9500 images with the first camera (yes I had to...

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: SLR flexibility, Canon quality, 6MP, best AF in its class, AdobeRGB color space, simultaneous RAW and JPEG recording, 9 shot buffer for continuous shooting, extremeley low noise, ISO 100-3200!

Weakness: Doesn't allow user tweaking for sharpness/saturation in Adobe RGB mode, no spot metering, no USB 2.0. Bundled s/w is not the best either.

This is an awesome camera. I have upgraded from EOS D30 and the difference is like night and day. Faster AF is a joy. With the large 9-shot frame buffer, there's no missing shots while waiting for CF flush. Color rendition is spot on, and noise levels are minimal even at ISO 1600. Had some trouble with the first camera diplaying some overexposure and bad metering, but after I exchanged it with...

Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera Body Only

Strengths: Built well, very good auto focus system, correct color balance, very long battery life and the list goes on and on

Weakness: somewhat soft focus even when set to highest settings. Does not like non-Canon lenses very well

Have 7 years experience in Nature photography. 3 Years in Wedding and portrait work and 7 years using Canon cameras. This camera works well for all my requirements. Have not finished the roll of slide film in my Canon EOS 3 since I got this camera. Can blow up the shots to 20x30 prints! While there are things I like better about some of my Canon film SLR'S I have not yet found a reason to use...
