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.
Isn't the 1.6x factor a problem? I couldn't live without my occasional 20mm shots. Anyway, I still have my analog EOSes for those pics, I'm not deciding about going completely digital now.
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.
What analog EOS model would be comparable for AF speed?
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 (?).
That would not stop me from buying a 10D. 9 buffered shots is more than I need. About 5 buffered RAW (or at least best JPG) shots would do.
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.
Yes, I'll try to do that.
Hope this helps, Rick H.
Thanks for responding. Thanks to all the other posters as well, of course.
