The 10D was the first digital camera I bought when moving from film to digital. Some of my most favorite images I have ever created were with this camera. I still have this camera, and it still works! I feel like it produces better images than my more modern cameras.
Never had the chance to try this iconic 10d. The 40d is one of my all time favorite cameras and a steal nowadays. Really good colors, easy to edit 14bit raws, and with a good lens amazing details even on a 10.1 sensor. 6.5 fps is also quite fast. The good old times!
Good video.I recently picked up a 10D body for $30. This camera takes excellent photos. Was surprised to find that my EFS lenses wouldn't fit. Luckily I have used EF lenses on most of my digital Canons because of the "sweet spot" I get from the full frame lenses, and always have several on hand. Perfect walking around camera for cheap.
I am constantly amazed by the knock-down price of these amazing items of technology compared to that upon release; they don't seem to deteriorate with age (unlike myself!). I've never really explored Canon. My older camera love hasn't reached that far although, admittedly, I am being pulled very strongly towards a 5D Classic. However, I've no decent Canon-fit glass so I'm hoping that will curtail my curiosity! Thanks Steve
Thanks Cliff! By the way, we’re we talking about the 5D Classic recently or was I just thinking about that camera? Either way, if you do ever consider an older Canon camera, I would definitely go for the 5D Classic. It’s definitely one of my favorites.
It was my first digital camera, and I shot at hundreds of commercial photos with it. I would occasionally rent a high end Canon for some special gigs, but I did covers and double-trucks with this camera. Solid as hell. I gave it away, now I regret that decision.
Still have my 2003 10D and just took some pictures today with the nifty fifty. But as a long time user, I would say it is a slow to operate camera. For $20-$50 more getting a 30D, 40D, or Nikon D200, D300 would be a better value.
I picked up a 30d for £55 recently after a bit of shopping around. Can take some beautiful photos with it. For me, someone who is learning its great. Only thing I would say is its huge and heavy. My girlfriend struggles with it a little due to the weight.
Back in early 2004 I was very keen on getting the 10D until the D70 was announced. Downpoints of 10D that I still remember were - slow ON time, "smoke and mirror" instead of a pentaprism. When D70 hit the street those two cameras were about "equals" in the marketplace in terms of price and tech level. I bought the D70 at the time, but will eventually get the 10D just to get it out/in of the system. Great video Steven.
Thanks and I think like that too! Sometimes I just have to go ahead and try something because I’ve been thinking about it for so long. The 10D definitely doesn’t disappoint!
I recently bought a good looking 2-hand 10d. Surprised by the quality build of the camera and the output. After using a Nikon D1x as another relic. I must admit that the colour output of the 10D is very nice. Well balanced colours, beatiful green, warm colours. I hope to do some pictures of my girlfriend this weekend and I am looking forward to the results. Now I just need a good 17-40L for this camera.
Great video! I have started revisit old cameras as well in the last few years. There are a lot of nice cameras available, both digital and film, that can be had for ridiculous little money. This spring I’ve picked up a close to mint Eos 3 with a 28-135 for less than $120. Also two 1D Mk.IIN for $300 for the pair. One of them had less than 10k actuations. There are lots of great deals to be found. People are almost giving away pro stuff, just because they aren’t digital or have more Mpix than their phones. Keep up the good work!
Thanks and that’s such a great point. The original 1D series cameras are selling so cheap right now. I got my 1DS for $200. I mean, it’s just crazy to think of professional full frame cameras selling for those kinds of prices.
Great video as always! I feel back in time as I owned it in...I think it was 2006. Great camera, awesome IQ, nice colors. It was my second dslr after the D60. Build quality was way better! Had a lot of fun with it. 👍
Cool! You have revived my interest in my old 10D I used back in the day for everything from weddings to product photography at work to family photos, etc. It is still a great camera and I am re-learning and using it again. Thanks for the review.
I have the 10D also, got it back when it came out with the Canon 28-200 3.5-5.6 lens that I can't find for the life of me. Must have loaned it out years ago. Anyhow, now that it's 2023, I thought about doing a comparison video of the 10D vs the R6 Mark II that I just picked up. I gut tells me that I'll like the color science of the 10D more, but I could just be misremembering how good or bad the picture quality is of the 10D.
I love where you recorded in nature, such a beautiful place you live! And the audio quality and production quality has really been amazing these past few videos. Inspires me to do camera gear reviews lol
My 10D is better than the 40D. Whit a L series lenses it is a super camera. The photos printed from this camera are absolutely stunning! Perfect and natural colors, accurate AF, solid.
This would probably be good for someone who already had one or more older EF lenses in the 28-50mm range. Good point about not being able to use EF-S lenses too.
Definitely! When I do these old Canon APSC reviews, my usual go-to lens is the EF-S 17-55mm f2.8. I was so bummed when I went to start this video and remembered this camera was EF only. Lol
I have one of those cameras and another more modern one..for some reason whenever I decide to use the Canon 10D .. I take more photos and I enjoy doing so. Slow buffer and slow card writing but I am not complaining at all .. it was super awesome when it came out and it still is.
Would you say that this is equivalent to the CCD sensor? It for sure got those awesome canon colors and while the CCD isn’t brand specific it also got some nice film like colors! 👍🏻
brother, my i request a deeper view on 300d? i bought one, because im trying to help my friend start with photography... it was the only one i can afford... i wanted that person to start having a career with photography, because this person lost job, and is actually the family breadwinner.. i hope you can make a vid of 300d. thanks
Dude.. im a beginner here..just a quick question, was wondering how the images look very close to Film photos? I love those kinda vibe. Does this camera give out those sort of images? Film - ish
What I like buying these older dslr so I can have my water an underwater photography with the reefs, and etc/ rainy day photography. I dont have to worry to use an expensive equipment.
Any chance on grabbing the legendary Nikon D700 for an overview? Images made from its glorious full frame 12 megapixel sensor is unlike anything else. I still use mine regularly for the unique color and rendition that this camera can produce.
Mark on wrong side was start after Canon did 30D after D30. Back than canon decide to mark semi pro dslr with mark on right side but 10D wasnt 1st semi pro :3 It was taged semi pro when thay made 20D becouse there wasn't any semi pro camera at this point of history ;)
Hi, nice and useful video. I own a Canon T100 camera and I have Minolta digital lenses. What is the appropriate adapter for the camera to use the lens?
EF-S mount lenses physically won’t fit in the camera’s mount. This prevents you mounting a lens designed to cover only APS-C on a full frame and get a bunch of cropping. (Some _Nikons_ however recognize that an APS-C lens is mounted and automatically crop. I think that’s pretty cool!)
Few cameras are bad. But there can be bad camera choices. Usually entry level cameras are less than perfect. On the other hand, glass is usually more important than bodies.
All thees old cameras are good enough for starting any kind of portrait business. My guess 8x10 are fine and 11x14 are also good and 16x20 I would not push it anymore. If I had to start over I buy these old cameras and start a photography business. If I start making good money then I'll buy better gear. If you're skilled you can do a wedding with these old cameras but I rather use something newer because weddings can be stressful.
The 10D was the first digital camera I bought when moving from film to digital. Some of my most favorite images I have ever created were with this camera. I still have this camera, and it still works! I feel like it produces better images than my more modern cameras.
This Canon has one of the best color science available .Very natural colours. Interesting it has CMOS sensor,not CCD,but still great colour rendition.

Thanks so much!
Thanks for the great review!!! After seeing this, I bought a 10D off eBay for $31 and I absolutely love it!! Again, great job.
Yo, I don't know much about cameras, but I will need to think about buying one soon here. Great vid, neat channel!
Definitely, this channel is dope! Underrated.
I've been using my 10D for 3 years now and it's pretty solid!
6MP is enough if you use if properly!
I'd love to see a review of the old 28-70 lens, there's very little info about it.
Love it. Another great review of an unsung hero cam
Thanks Alexis!
Actually is impressive also the colors results in your pictures, seems like shoot with color plus film roll
My 10D is better than the 40D. Whit a L series lenses it is a super camera. The photos printed from this camera are absolutely stunning! Perfect and natural colors, accurate AF, solid.

Very nice photos. Did you use any preset on these?
Another great vid 😎💪
Thanks!

this would be a good choice for gifting to someone small who's interested in photography

Which are the best old Canon APSC DSLR cameras?
Can we record videos with canon 10D ? If not then why it have video option on left side of camera?
I would really consider getting it, if it weren’t for the CF (compact flash)
Mark on wrong side was start after Canon did 30D after D30. Back than canon decide to mark semi pro dslr with mark on right side but 10D wasnt 1st semi pro :3 It was taged semi pro when thay made 20D becouse there wasn't any semi pro camera at this point of history ;)
I have one for a month is an amazing camera
What CF Card are you using? I read that it can only use upto 2gb of storage.
Hi, nice and useful video. I own a Canon T100 camera and I have Minolta digital lenses. What is the appropriate adapter for the camera to use the lens?
Huh why do you cant you use EF-S lenses on this camera? Is the mirror to close or why exactly?
EF-S mount lenses physically won’t fit in the camera’s mount. This prevents you mounting a lens designed to cover only APS-C on a full frame and get a bunch of cropping. (Some _Nikons_ however recognize that an APS-C lens is mounted and automatically crop. I think that’s pretty cool!)
So, what are the bad cameras?
The 60D
Few cameras are bad. But there can be bad camera choices. Usually entry level cameras are less than perfect. On the other hand, glass is usually more important than bodies.
@@nashoke23 why the 60d?
@@puchmaximaximierer1913 no improvements, the 7D is the real 60D
Nikon D600
Just got a 40D (at the third time of trying) 👍 📷
I use canon r6 for my TH-cam videos. It is fantastic camera. I love it))))
My friend just got an R6 and I agree. That camera is amazing!
All thees old cameras are good enough for starting any kind of portrait business. My guess 8x10 are fine and 11x14 are also good and 16x20 I would not push it anymore.
