Used Canon EOS 10D DSLR Body

I ordered this camera 3 days ago and I just received it, the delivery was flawless with FedEX, I followed the tracking and they told me when it arrived at the Fedex Hub. I went and picked it up right away. the camera was packed real nice as to arrive safely from Georgia to Puerto Rico, when I opened it I was in awe, this camera is a hell of a camera its made of Magnesium. its great I bought this camera for my wife to learn but I think I'm keeping it for myself, the camera is in great shape and I want to thank KEH Camera shop. for great rapid service and a great quality product.What a great Camera it is! I've taken A few great shots already but Im waiting until I can get a better lense in the 50mm range. and then Ill test it real nice. but I uploaded a few of my first shots here with it of a homeless cat and a Palm tree. hope you all like it. If you're trying to move to learn photography this is the camera for you, this thing is built like a tank to give you an example of her size, shes bigger than all the Canon EOS Cameras 20D.30D.40D.50D.60D and even the 7D I love it. when I go out shooting People ask me what News paper I work for, I look like a Pro and I'm just your average Joe LOL. So if you want to look like a Million bucks when you go out shooting Pick yourself a 10D in good condition and enjoy the looks people give you plus the great pictures you'll get.Thank you KEH Camera shop and Amazon ********** 10 stars

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.

Lots of trouble getting my million dollar digi to focus. (I got it as a gift dec 03) I have an original rebel, Elan 7E and consider myself pretty experienced with canon. I've never seen anything like this. I am about to give up and go back to film. Shooting small children and weddings are a nightmare with this. I have a bride with lots of well focused flowers and she is out of focus in most picures. Very frustrated.

I purchased this camera as my first big step into photography. I am only 15, but I have always been interested in taking pictures, and I'm getting the hang of it pretty quickly. I own a Power SX500is, which allows for full manual control, but this camera was a way to get the "real deal" portion of lens changing and very customized settings. I love the fact that this camera is more like the pro cameras then Canon's Rebels, (even if my shots aren't top notch, at least I'll look like I know what I'm doing :P) but this camera does come with a couple of downsides.1. It's old: not that that's bad, but the fact that they haven't put out a driver for Windows 7 makes me think Canon kind of forgot about this model.2. Being so old, it can't mount EF-S lenses. I realized this a couple minutes before I wrote this review, and now I'm probably going to have to write a review on some converters. (Just kidding about that, I'll probably have to upgrade to a 20d though :P)So, if you're a beginner just starting out in photography, this is a great idea to get acquainted with the basic features of a "real" camera. If you're getting this for a teenager, I'd recommend the Canon EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 II Standard Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras as a starter, and then upgrade either your lens or get a better camera that shoots EF-S. But even without this capability, I don't regret buying it, and I'm sure to purchase more Canon in the future.

When I bought the camera I found the screen to be too small and it was really grainy at even it's lowest iso.

I had just bought this camera, and it is not compatible with any other Canon lens but the eos 10d ones.So either buy a great adapter, or only buy those lenses.It is really heavy, and quite big. It has all the features of the newer models, so don't worry about that. It is quite complicated if you are thinking this to be your first digital SLR.But over all.. it is an awesome camera!!!

This camera is simply perfect. The adjustability, ease of use, and battery life are amazing. Shot for a whole day (7a.m. to about 7p.m.) and only while finally downloading the images to my computer (the 250 of them I took) did I get the 'Low Battery' light. It seems to compensate the white balance a lot better than my Sony, and focuses faster than my last Canon SLR (I have a Canon 28-200mm USM lens). It has a big enough buffer to allow you to shoot one after another in single shot mode. In 'burst' mode you may be backed up a bit waiting though. The look of the camera is very 'classy'. The high resolution and ability to have full manual or automatic control make it perfect for amaterus and pros. Could have used a firewire interface for faster download speed (the USB does take a while with the larger size images), but that isn't enough to take away from a 5-Star Rating. I'd give it a 10 if the scale went that high!
