Canon EOS-10D Digital Camera

I have owner a Canon EOS 100 camera for many years.Profesionaly,befof I retired>The canon gave me everything I required from a Camera.Flexability.quality.and results equal to many more expensive cameras.Having brought a small digital camers,of high quality.I became disalusioned .It was slow,too small and did not suit my large hands and my personallity.SO i looked around.I decided on Canon,because I have canon lens and equipment.I started at the bottom with the D30 and D60.Good camers but limited.My EOS 100 was better.ThenI looked at the 10D/20D and 30d.deciding that was as far as I was prepaired to go in price.The specification of the 10D was great.The 20 and 30D were a little better in specification.but I did not think the increase in price over a 10D,was warrented.So I looked in EBAY for some weeks,looking at prices that they were going fof,After several trys at bidding,being out bib because of price,I was sucessful,and became the proud owner of a !10D camera.The sellers description was modist.The camera exceeding my expectations.Near mint condition,with a standard lens,and full backup from the seller.Having used the camera for some weeks,I am very pleased with my decision.The camera is heavy,heaver than my EOS 100.but about the same size.A lot more complicated,with much more to learn.But you can use it in a point and shoot mode,with no problems,and obtain outstanding results.The 6.5 megapixels gives more than enough resolution for prints upto A3 sixe,and more if you only enlarge a portion of the frame.It has given me a new lease of life to my photography.It takes all my lens's and equipment,my onlt disapointments have been due to my inability to understand the complexity of the camera.With digital this is a small price to pay.No film costs,and printing costs.Just delite what you do not require and keep the rest.I love this camera,and I am amased at the sofistication and complixity of it.I discover something new every time I use it.I havenot found a downside to it.Maybe its too large and heavy to put in your pocket,and with extra lens you need a bag.But If you are like me a keen photographer,looking for excelence in your pictures.then look at one of these.You would not be disapointed.I still talk to my seller,gleenig information and advice when required.Great Camera,Great buy,what more could you require.
