Product Features

Camera Type	SLR
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs. Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.
Resolution (Pixels)	3072x2048
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels. The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.
Screen size (Inches)	1.8
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
3D	No

Memory card slot	Yes
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly. Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Macro Mode	Yes
This mode allows close-up photograpy of small objects such as insects and flowers.
Manual Focus	Yes
Almost all modern cameras have autofocus. Manual focus allows you to override the autofocus and set the distance yourself. This is especially useful if your camera is struggling to focus in a low-light or confusing scene.
Timer	Yes

Weight (g)	790
The weight of the product in grams.
Flash	Yes
Whether or not your camera has an in-built flash. Flashes are essential for fully capturing a low light image.
Shortest shutter speed (Fractions of a second)	1/4000
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
Longest shutter speed (Fractions of a second)	1/30
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured. Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results. Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
USB port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components.
Dimensions (mm)	149.7x107.5x75
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.

The EOS 10D is a high performance digital SLR. It offers the exceptional build quality, image definition and functionality of a high-end analogue EOS SLR, with the benefits of digital photography

6.3 million pixels
At the heart of the EOS 10D is the newly developed CMOS sensor with approximately 6.3 million effective pixels for superb image quality. This sensor is supported by Canon’s unique high power digital imaging core (DIGIC) processor. Thanks to the speed of the DIGIC processor, Canon has extended the number of full resolution images to nine, at a rate of three frames per second. In addition to improved speed, DIGIC also helps produce more accurate colour rendition and reduce image noise.

High quality images
The EOS 10D is able to save images simultaneously in both RAW and JPEG formats. With the option of six JPEG file sizes, you have control over how large the accompanying JPEG file needs to be.

New developments in Canon’s noise control technology allow the EOS 10D to offer a wider set of ISO equivalents. The range covers 100 to 1600, enabling users to get high quality images across a wide range of shooting conditions. Photographers working in poor light can take advantage of an option to extend the range to ISO 3200.

Improved metering system
The metering system on the EOS 10D has improved exposure consistency and stability. It uses the newest metering algorithm available and a 35-zone evaluative metering system linked to all seven focus points.

Colour and light versatility
Canon has included the Adobe RGB colour space standard into the EOS 10D for a greater selection of recordable colours and greater image flexibility.

The EOS 10D shares the same white balance controls as Canon’s professional digital EOS models. In addition to the customer white balance, the EOS 10D provides users with the option to select Kelvin colour temperature settings to suit almost any lighting situation.

Printing on the move
The EOS 10D is the first digital SLR camera to feature direct printing. By linking the camera to any of Canon’s compatible bubble jet or CP printers with a USB cable, photographers are able to see prints immediately—without the need to connect to a computer. Controls within the camera’s own menu system allow users to choose print quality, size and image cropping.
