Hi. I am the p[roud owner of a 10D... no focus problems at all. I wonder how many of you have the same camera. I would be interested to learn and get tips and suggestions from you all.

Have mine since a month now. Can't stop playing with it.
The learning curve is quite OK. No focusing problems (so far) .

Hi! Good to know I am not alone learning with this wonderful camera. 'Most of the pictures I have posted so far were taken with the Coolpix 995. I am begining to post some pictures taken with the 10D in a few days...

I have had mine for more than a month now and am greatly pleased with it.
I have no focus problems.( I had a Minolta D7HI before !!!!!)
I just come back from a trip On the South of France and took more than 1000pics. I deleted less than 10 due to technical errors from my inexperience with the camera.

Continue to enjoy your camera and shoot as much as possible.

I have had a few weeks to get the feel for using my 10D. Outstanding camera for sure. When I need a quick point and shoot with the camera set on automatic, I find my Olympus C-5050 works a bit better. However, I generally like to make my settings manually, and for that the Canon is very easy to use, and the results are great. I can also choose to set the f-stop manually and let the camera choose the exposure. So far that mode has been near perfection. Canon made a sure winner with the 10D.

When it is possible, I have been revisiting places with my 10 and trying to make some shots of the same places I have shot before with my Nikon CP 995. The difference is remarkable, both on screen and printed.

My CP 995 holds very well for 4x6 and even 8x10. My usual print size is 5x7.

The 10D blows the CP 995 away in every print size and gave me the possibility of getting great 11x13 too. I found color rendition and dynamic range to be very good.

The only thing I miss from my CP 995 is the Best Shot Selector feature... if Canon could include something similar on future firmware versions it would be great!!!

Heyas...
Have had my 10d for about 3 months now and like the rest of you, love the darn thing. Despite money being tight and not being able to put a decent lens on it, it still performs very well with little focus problems (only a little soft on occasion).

Here's a question for you all... when setting up the processing params, which do you use? As I understand it, if all is set to 'defaults' the camera doesn't have to work as hard and you get less blooming in your image. While on the other hand if you setup your own params, you could get more blooming, especially from burst shots. Anyone have thoughts to this?

I have no idea if what you say is true. Nevertheless, I keep my camera on the " standard" parameters. I rather do all adjustments (color balance, saturation, sharpness) later on the digital darkroom. On Photoshop (or similar software) will will have better control over the effects.

Some people go to even more extreme measures and shot RAW... I use large jpeg 97% of the time

Give the Capture One demos a try. Download some free 10D profiles from the web. RAW is a bit more work than .jpg, but for shots that someone is paying for, I stick with RAW outputted at 16bit. Just gives me more room to work with in Photoshop.

I also love my 10D and the quality of it's output. 8x12s can be mistaken for medium format!
