Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera

The EOS 10D brings an unprecedented level of features, controls and value to the advanced amateur and studio photographer. It has a newly designed, rugged body with a magnesium alloy exterior, a 6.3 MP CMOS sensor which incorporates Canon's exclusive DIGIC Image Processor, high-speed, 7-point wide area AF with superimposed focusing points, user adjustable parameters to change 4 aspects of image quality, 3 frames per second speed (up to 9 shots in JPEG or simultaneous RAW/JPEG mode), and a pop-up flash. The EOS 10D is compatible with Canon's entire range of EF lenses, digital printers and Speedlites, has USB connectivity, selectable color spaces, Exif 2.2 and DPOF 1.1 support, and includes Canon's capture software for Mac OS and Windows. With these advanced features in an easy-to-use interface, the EOS 10D makes digital EOS photography available to everyone.

Features

6.3 Megapixel Digital SLR with DIGIC-based image processor

6.30 megapixel CMOS Sensor
Canon's newly developed large, single-plate CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range. Created through a new high-precision manufacturing method, this high-sensitivity sensor delivers ultra-fine accuracy with an effective 6.30 megapixel resolution (approximately 6.50 total megapixels). It features advanced new peripheral circuitry that enhances images quality, an improved built-in amp that boosts the S/N ratio, and a superior sensing process that raises the maximum ISO speed while lowering image degradation during long exposures. The effective sensor size (22.7 x 15.1mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF lens focal length.

High Performance Imaging Engine
Information captured by the CMOS sensor is processed and asembled into images of exceptional quality by a new Image Engine, the latest version of Canon's exclusive all-in-one DIGIC digital imaging processor. Color reproduction is extremely natural and details are incredibly precise, especially with gradations in the highlight areas. In fact reproduction is so accurate that noise reduction is unnecessary, even with long exposures. Through use of a newly developed signal processing algorithm, Canon's highly efficient Imaging Engine even accelerates signal processing while consuming less energy.
