    Canon 10D users: When are you guys gonna upgrade?

    Wow did they give a rough figure as to how many 10Ds have been sold in sg so far? the 10D was a huge major jump from the D30 and D60 series therefore many chose to upgrade to that. However the jump aint as big as that to the 20D or the 30D with a softening in the feel and build quality of the...

    Canon 10D users: When are you guys gonna upgrade?

    Geez I never thought about that yet... How durable are canon's CMOS sensors anyway... not much news heard of D30s and D60s sensor wearing out yet... and how much is it just to replace a sensor? i might have to strike toto first... I dream of striking lottery... but its quite a...

    Canon 10D users: When are you guys gonna upgrade?

    Won't that just mean that you cant use her cool EFS lenses too? might as well stick to the 10D and keep in line with canon's L series of EF lenses... I dont see Canon putting an EFS mount on the 1 or 5 series ever in the near future...

    Canon 10D users: When are you guys gonna upgrade?

    I can't remember who called the 10D a mini 1Ds but it's sure built to look that way and feel that way too... I think the 20D and 30Ds have been softened to market the 5D which looks rather similar to a 10D without the inbuilt flash to me :) hey but if you shoot in RAW the 10D has an advantage...

    Considering the improvements in noise reductions of the 20D and 30D and all the other bits of niceties like 0.2sec start ups and usb2.0+++ when will you decide to upgrade and what will be the reasons for it?

    Canon 10D Night shots

    It's just with the advancement of technology, people's expectations just keep rising as well. What would be acceptable then has become unacceptable today. Anyone tried long exposure shots?

    Canon 10D Night shots

    Has anyone taken any long exposure shots with a 10D? Care to share? I was wondering what the exposures would be like in comparison to a 20D and if they were usable...

    Advice needed: EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

    It still is a great all rounder lens. all you need to do is supplement it with a few wide angle zooms or a prime or two. having 45-216 is a pretty good lens to carry around in one lens when u dont have the time to swap around many lenses. If you need a wide angle, just get a 20-35 zoom or...

    Advice needed: EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

    however the 17-85 isnt as sharp as the 28-135 which has shown to produce images that are comparable with the 24-105f4LIS. this for being less than half the price and a non L lens. It's a great walkaround lens to have.

    Canon 10D Lens Setup and 3rd party lenses

    I think what he meant was the aperture at F4 cf F2.8 in his post? I presume L lenses have quick AFs

    Canon 10D Lens Setup and 3rd party lenses

    oh pardon me... i got confused there... is it true that without ETTL II, the 550EX is unable to read exposure perfectly beyond a certain wide angle? Then it overpowers? This however is resolved with the 580EX made to incorporate lenses with shorter focal lengths than what the 550Ex can handle
