Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR Body Kit

Description:

6.3 Megapixel CMOS Image 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, it delivers ultra-fine accuracy with an effective 6.30-megapixel resolution (approximately 6.50 total megapixels) and features advanced new peripheral circuitry that further enhances image quality. 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.

Rigid Magnesium-Alloy Body The lightweight EOS 10D has a rock-solid look and feel that suits demanding outdoor use. Tough and reliable, its top, front and rear covers are made of rigid magnesium alloy – the same material featured in the bodies of Canon’s top-of-the line EOS-1 professional models. The body is just the right size (140.7 x 107.5 x 75.0mm) and weight (790 grams) for stable, easy handling, and features a black satin finish that heightens the look of elite quality.

3 fps continuous shooting With a continuous shooting speed of up to three frames per second and a maximum burst of nine shots, the EOS 10D is equipped to seize every photo opportunity. The high-performance imaging engine and generous buffer memory help maintain this speedy performance regardless of selected recording quality, ISO speed and subject conditions.

High-speed 7-point AF The wide range of selectable processing parameters includes a choice of two professional color spaces: the standard sRGB color space and the expanded Adobe RGB (1998) color space. Making the selection that best suits your needs is always easy with the Canon EOS 10D.

White Balancing and WB Bracketing Six automatic white balance modes provide optimum settings for most shooting situations. Precise dialing in of color temperature in Kelvin values is also possible, with settings selectable from 2800K to 10000K in 100K increments. White balance bracketing lets you capture three images (normal, reddish, bluish) with one shot, and at the same exposure level, with white balance shifted to 3 stops in whole-stop increments. Auto and Manual ISO Speed ISO speed is automatically set between 100 and 400 depending on shooting mode (Full Auto, Landscape, Close-up, Night Portrait or Flash-off), or manually set to 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 or 3200. JPEG or Simultaneous RAW+JPEG Whenever you shoot the Canon EOS 10D, you can choose to have it record in the JPEG format alone, or in the RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously. Both recording methods provide six selectable settings for JPEG image quality. Canon's proprietary RAW (.CRW) format is preferable when the highest possible image quality is desired. The JPEG file format is ideal for purposes such as Internet image transfer that require reduced file sizes.

High-speed 7-point AF Information captured by the CMOS sensor is processed and assembled into images of exceptional quality by new Imaging 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.
