Canon 10D Details Emerging…

Mark Goldstein | Digital SLR Cameras | February 24, 2003 | 4 Comments

More completely unofficial information about Canon’s new digital DSLR are emerging. Nicholas J on the DPReview forums managed to prise the following information out of the Canon representative at Focus-on-Imaging, a UK imaging trade show.

1. The 10D has the same 6mp CMOS chip as the D60.
2. It has 7 focus points.
3. AF considerably faster than D60.
4. Low light focus performance much better than D60.
5. Write speeds to disk much faster than D60.
6. Response time when switching camera on is almost instant as well as response time when using “play” menu button.

“The 10D will be the ONLY new DSLR by Canon this year. There are no plans for a EOS 3 based DSLR or anything else. He also said the 1D (not 1Ds) will be around for about another year before they replace it with something new.”

Well, if that's the only new DSLR Canon launch this year, then it's the one that'll I'll be buying. If the pricing is comparable to that of the D60 of course. The 1ds is simply too pricy, and too conspicuous for street photography, and I'm certainly not waiting another year for a new camera. Good of Canon to at least provide users with a stop-gap.

PMA is happening very soon, so we should all know the vital details then. How much will it actually cost? How many improvements will there be compared to the D60? I just hope that Canon make enough this time round!

Ryan, will you be upgrading from a digital camera, or a film SLR?

Digital. I've used an Olympus C2100 UZ for about 6 months now while getting my feet wet in photography.
