Pros: Sturdyness, handling, reliabilty, image quality at low ISO (at the time)

Cons: Limited lens choice, alomost no customization, limited configurability for a semiprofessional camera, small display, all specs by today's (2024) standards

Opinion: This was my first DSLR. I bought it used from a camera enthusiast with almost 100 000 clicks. Despite being used so much before, I never had any trouble with it and I could add another 10 000 clicks or so before giving it to a friend. Reasons to buy were price (used it was much much cheaper than a 350D) and the fact that I could use it with my old Canon EF lenses (28-70, 80-200 and 50 mm). Compared to all cameras I owned before it felt very good in the hand and it was very nice to shoot with it. I liked the camera very much at the time, but a few years later I replaced it with a 20D - mainly because it was not compatible with EF-S lenses and I was longig for a stabilised modern lens with decent wide angle (then the only options were the Canon EF-S 17-85 mm IS and EF-S 18-55 IS). Today there are much better options even if you are looking for a cheap and sturdy SLR without paying much (e.g. the Nikon D200 which is compatible with plenty of really old and good lenses even from the 70s and 80s).

Pros: Used price, as essential as the machines of the past

Cons: Small screen, incompatibility with EF-S optics

Opinion: I jokingly bought this used body at 100 Euros more out of desire and curiosity than anything else. I mounted the 70-210 f4 and started taking pictures of my son in the yard setting 100ISO and burst shutter. I was immediately impressed by the reaction of the machine, the saturation of colors and the 'handling' and simplicity of operation. The 6mpx sensor goes great and if you don't have the obsession with having super dense sensors you get excellent photos with a beautiful blurry effect. The colors are full and the contrast marked. If you find it as new buy it because for 80 or 100 euros it is a really nice toy. Ahhhhh: it is so easy to use that you do not need instructions and this is not trivial...... I have machines that before using them you have to study whole evenings

Pros: Solid, assisted function button, shutter sound, bright viewfinder.

Cons: EF-S lenses cannot be used

Opinion: Well-built machine body, from pro seeds. Good cmos image quality, slightly lower than the 20-30d sensor, especially in shadows. Slowness in recording photos, I recommend using better performing CF. Tiny screen, but useful for histogram. autofocus suffers from little light, but offers good coverage. As with all high SLRs of 2003 of any brand does not hold iso well, the limit of 800 with good light. The function button to record the pre-set, useful and fast focus point is excellent. In conclusion I am always satisfied with the 10d for thought use, I recommend buying if at a low price. A viable alternative within the same manufacturer is the 20d, faster and offers the possibility to use EF-S.

Pros: ROBUSTETO ALL CMOS Canon fabulous.

Cons: None for age. Maybe a slight overexposure.

Opinion: Bought on ebay with BATTERY GRIP a few years ago and used a lot for landscape photos and I didn't think it had such an amazing quality in the files. The canon's CMOS sensor is as good as on all subsequent models. This reflex has a slight delay on ignition but it is not a defect is just a limitation on the construction level, in the subsequent models from the EOS 20D onwards the problem is not there. It has several focus points to make it suitable for action photos and even in landscape photos it is a great reflex. From a construction point of view it is a tank, unlike later models that have plastics that tend to leave the marks (rigated). Obviously the resolution is only 6 MPIXEL and it is unthinkable to make CLRs. The display is 1.8"

Pros: Body pro, low consumption, quality files despite the 6 mpx and the price of the used ridiculous.

Cons: Optical incompatibilities ef-s, rear screen almost useless, it is not possible to get an idea of ??what we have taken. But it's almost 15 years old ..

Opinion: I bought it almost as a joke by winning an auction on ebay at a really ridiculous price, thinking that I would find a job in some way, maybe with the change IR .. And instead! rnHo put in a battery, a 35-105 and it was love at first sight. The files produced are a show (it will be that I expected a lot but much less given the age) and when I put on a Helios 44-7 I was literally stunned.rnDo not talk about how it falls in perfect hand and feeling of solidity that transmits. The shutter sound is also elegant and discreet. Tomorrow I leave for a trip and I put it immediately in the bag. rnThe only drawback is that with that screen you can not get an idea of ??how the picture came, but patience.rnConsigliatissima.

Pros: Body, double ring, the second screen, battery life.

Cons: Compared to recent SLRs, many. But when it was released it was like having a Ferrari

Opinion: Machine from the robust and solid body. He feels it is a lady reflex. I possess since 2004 and has never betrayed me, in any condition. This is not an entry level but something more. Obviously now the technical limitations are felt heavily. The noise at high iso is highly visible already to 800, if we put it in extension (ie 3200) even in good external light conditions, the noise is really much. The AF works very well, quickly and accurately in optimal situations, but with little light, even that starts to limp. In addition to this there is the screen that is really ridiculous. Small and very poorly defined. Sometimes it seems to them that it is coming a nice sharp picture and then, you realize that the computer is moved or blurry. Unfortunately, we speak of a machine of many years ago, and in electronics are centuries. However, still it gives many joys if we know a little 'do. I will not never part. Now I'm considering another camera body, but my will to my 10dside, faithful friend of holidays, workshops and turn. rn

Pros: Machine body really solid, ergonomics, used price, quality sensor

Cons: Slow photo playback, high iso noise, tiny screen

Opinion: The 10D is a great camera in relation to age, body-solid machine from professional, excellent ergonomics that makes it pleasant to hold. The 6.3 megapixel sensor produces excellent photos, the council as a second body, for those who want to make the leap into the world and reflex to photograph in difficult or "dirty".

Pros: Price of used (found last week for 160 € including excellent lens Tokina 19-39 f: 3.5-4.5), CF, well built, quality immafine respectable despite 11 years of age.

Cons: screen ridiculous both in size and resolution, already heavy noise above 500 iso.

Opinion: I was looking for a semipro SLR for use with a homemade pinhole lens and having already 6D, 1DII, 50D and 60D was aiming for something cheap, I was undecided between a 400D and a 350D when I imbato in an announcement on the internet of this machine accompanied by excellent lens Tokina really am ... all at a price of 100 € less than the bodies of the younger sisters of Canon. the 10D looks quite good in spite of the age, is ergonomic, easy to handle and nice sturdy. the rendered image is at high levels, and the files are well lavorabili.rnla battery still holds fairly well. you should not work more than 500 iso otherwise the noise becomes unmanageable. the monitor is really dated and it shows, very low definition and low in contrast. in short, is a camera that was clearly outclassed by the later versions but unfounded ago 'still a terrible figure.
