Jun 15, 2007 13:17 | #2 I've compared the two models at canon.com and they seem quite similar. Except the resolution. "Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute" --Gil Stern

More info | You would probably get a better response in the Camera forum, but if it wre me I would but the XTi. It has many advantages over the 10D like resolution, auto focus is newer and better, self cleaning sensor, larger screen, larger buffer, etc. Mike, The Keeper of the Archive

There are quite a few speed advantaged with DIGICII such as camera startup and focus speed and accuracy. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Roger-Walker Member  102 posts Likes: 1 Joined Jun 2007 Location: Tokyo, Japan More info | I keep wondering about upgrading to something newer (from a 10D). But for motorsports, it's 9 frame buffer (in RAW mode) has yet to be beaten without going to the single digit range. Going to a 20D or 30D goes to 8.2MP (from 6.3MP) but that's only 20% more in X & Y, so doesn't actually gain much. 1DX|5D-II|17-40|24-105|70-200 F2.8 non-IS|28-300 F3.5-5.6|28 1.8|50 F1.8|100 F2|2x-II|430EX

Most motorsports events are outside, with an F2.8 lens at ISO 200 I've got good enough leeway, so I don't feel the need to "upgrade". In RAW mode the buffer on the modern camera is only 6 frames, the extra 3 the 10D offers makes up for it's age. The 5D keeps pulling (I'd love a 1Ds, but don't have that kind of money), but the difference to the 5D would buy so many other upgrades... 1DX|5D-II|17-40|24-105|70-200 F2.8 non-IS|28-300 F3.5-5.6|28 1.8|50 F1.8|100 F2|2x-II|430EX

Gives a great overview of the camera and it's features. http://web.canon.jp/imaging/enjoydslr/index.html Well, not quite a duck but I suppose just as general. This is the first image from the camera. I was fishing through the box in the parking lot and swung the door open to take this shot of someone's car. Full automatic setts.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.
