Does anyone know how the 10D compares to the 40D? would it be a good back up to a 40D? I currently have a 40D and I am looking for a fairly cheap body as a back up. I am deciding between the 10D and 20D. I have found the 10D for around $120. The 20D is about $250. What would you guys recommend?
I had the 10D along with the 40D, and loved it. If you've been reading up in here about the 10D, you'll know what you are getting into with the 10D. It's slow, has a small and slow-to-load lcd and has a small buffer. HOWEVER, it's color rendition is fantastic. I've printed 13x19s from 10D files no problem. The 10D can still take great photos.Furthermore, if you have EFS lenses in you kit or plan on getting any, they won't mount on the 10D (without modding said EFS lenses).Now, if you need your backup to perform closer to your 40D specs, perhaps the 20D is a better choice for you.Jason C
