Well about as close to new as possible - just received my "Factory Demo" 10D from Cameta Camera in Amityville NY. It was an Ebay Auction with a "Buy it Now" for $799. Super great service from these guys - Paid Monday, shipped yesterday and arrived today! Got the complete body kit with a 1 yr warranty. I had ordered the lens ( A used EF 28-70 3.5-4.5 ll) seperately - since it did not ship with the body I decided to pick up a new EF 50 mm 1.8 ll on the way home! Battery is charging now - I can't wait!
Really am impressed with the size and feel of this unit- I tried the Rebel at Best Buy and it just didn't feel right for me. I never saw a 10D "live" didn't realize how big it was!
Any way pics should be coming soon!
who me?

The 10D is the best in terms of feel for a consumer dSLRs. It feels better then both the rebel and the 20D, it has a perfect size and weight. You will really enjoy this camera.

Cheers.

I tried out a friends 10D and loved it. I used it to shoot a soccer game and had a blast taking pictures. When I tracked the subject right, the pictures came our very nice. I bought the 20D because I liked the faster shooting rate and quicker turn on time. But the 10D is a very nice camera too.

Have fun with it!!!

Wow! Cannot believe how much faster this is than my S1 or other P&S cameras that I have used! I still have to get use to the interface & settings - but here are a few shots of my daughter- camera set on auto with flash - wow, finally some bokeh! Really liking the 50mm 1.8 too!

Enjoy, you are going to have a blast.

Hopefully your children will continue to smile like that for you. I know mine got a little perturbed afterwhile.

Put "learn how to process raw" next on your "to do" list, right after "memorize the manual".

Congrats on the 10D. And I ageee with Persian-Rice that in terms of handling the thing just rocks. I was sorely tempted by the 20D, but there's just something about the 10D that feels right. Even if it's slower by every measure, you put an L lens on it and you feel like you're ready to shoot in a warzone.

Welcome to the world of dslr... I own a Pro1 & recently added a 10D to the collection. The Pro1 hasn't left the camera bag since. Gotta love how fast the focus is!! I got a 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM for my first lens & I'm looking at a 70-200mm f/4.0L for my second. The 10D has opened up a whole new level of photography for me. Have fun with the 10D... I know I am!!!
