Canon Announce EOS 10D!
No sooner have Pentax announced their new DSLR, the curiously named *ist D, than Canon announce their new DSLR, the EOS 10D.
“Canon, leader in photographic and imaging technology, is pleased to announce the launch of the EOS 10D, a 6.3 million pixel Canon digital SLR with a seven point wide area autofocus system, fast three frames per second burst rate and an ergonomic super-tough magnesium alloy body shell. Launched as the successor to the award winning EOS D60, the EOS 10D builds on the strengths of this highly popular model with a range of improvements to both the camera’s design and its specification.”
The 10D boasts a lot of noteable improvements over the D60, including a magnesium alloy body, extended ISO range (100-3200), 7-point autofocus and 35 zone evaluative metering system system.
Initial reaction to the new camera on the Web seems to be very positive and at a suggested RRP of £1499 / $1999, the EOS 10D is definitely going to turn the heat up on the likes of Nikon, Fuji, Pentax and even Sigma. Why would you buy a Sigma SD9 now, or Pentax’s *ist D (even if you could pronounce it)?! The 10D may also threaten advanced digital compact cameras like the Minolta 7Hi and the Nikon 5700. Maybe there will be a big price ripple throughout the industry? Even better, the 10D will be available from March, hopefully in sufficient numbers, so we may see some price decreases very soon.
DPReview and Steve’s Digicams both have extensive first looks at the camera, whilst Imaging Resource wins the prize for the first full Review and some excellent sample pictures.

Yeah Baby! That's my future camera you're talking about.
I was in the market for a D60, but the 10D has made improvements in all the right places: construction & AF mainly. A full-frame sensor would have been killer, but then the price wouldn't be nearly as low.

I'm *very* interested in the 10D as well...!
So have you got your name down on a pre-order list then?! I've heard that Ritz Cameras in the USA have started taking pre-orders.

Yes, you were planning on investing in a D60, before it was discontinued, weren't you?
I haven't put my name down for any pre-orders *yet* I'm stuck over here in Europe until the end of April, so I won't be getting my paws on a 10d until then. I'll also have to invest in lenses, extra batteries, and CF cards then.

I was pretty keen on the D60, in a "that's an expensive but very nice camera" kind of way. Now that the cheaper and better-specced 10D is out, well, I'm going to start saving! Thankfully I've already got some Canon lenses - 20-35mm, 50mm and 70-300mm, so they should all be compatible...fingers crossed (not sure about my Tamron 70-300mm).
