You are just joking right?! Didn't you get the email about how terrible it really was?! :) I use mine at work every day and have yet to be disappointed. Happy shooting, Rick H.
Hmm, I think this means you like your EOS 10D? I'm thinking about getting one and looking for arguments to stop me :-) Are there any real flaws or shortfalls? I'd like to use it for action shots, racing and the like. Any experiences?

Hi Thomas,
Yes I do like the 10D. I use it for studio product shots at work, and landscape and street shooting outside work. For those subjects it is perfectly fine.
I don't know if you would be happy with it for racing and sports. The AF, while not slow like the D30/D60, is not as fast as the 1D/1V/3 cameras. Furthermore, it's a slow writer to the memory card. If you look at this site; http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007 you will see that the 10D (1280 K/sec) is even slower than the D60 (1600 K/sec) in writing to the disk or card, and not even half as fast as the 1D (3000 K/sec). You get 9 buffered shots before it has to lock down and start writing where on the 1D you get 14 (?).
The quality is there. The camera is very solid, very capable, very easy to use, and the results are great. I just don't know if the speed is there for you to take action shots. I would really recommend renting or borrowing one before you buy.
Hope this helps, Rick H.
