Glad you liked it- thanks. I still like the 10D and I plan out going shooting with it again in a few weeks when the weather gets a little better. It's a great old camera, if you have the patience to use it.
Just dusted mine out for a laugh a few weeks back, shoot primarily with 5d's for work, but really have fond memories of the 10d - I agree the quality of the images, they are so film like, really forgot how lovely they look. Been using my 10d for some still life stock shoots, take your time with it, and stick on some good prime lenses it's still a very capable camera. Nice review and nice images.
I've owned two cameras in my life, both Canons: my beloved AE1, which I purchased in 1977, and was my constant companion, all through the '80s and '90s. I used it through art school, it accompanied me all through Europe and elsewhere, and served me tirelessly, until digital photography began to supplant traditional , and then my 10D, which I purchased during the early 2000s, when digital photography took over. I should probably upgrade to something more current with more bells and whistles, but, at my age, quite frankly, I'm a bit intimidated by the technology, and honestly, the 10D is a perfectly decent camera for landscapes, portraits., etc.
The AE1 is a great camera. The 10D is an absolute gem of a camera. I can see why you like the 10D coming from the 35mm film world. I came up the same way. The 10D requires patience, as with a film camera. The 10D provides soft, painting-like images not found in any other camera. Thanks for the note!
Thanks. The 10D is a real gem of a camera, but you need a little patience to shoot with it. It's very slow, which is a good thing since it forces you to think about your shots before taking them. Glad you liked the video.
Great shots.... They are harder to get then they look. What ISO did you use? I know that they probably have to be perfectly still - to get a good clear image. Did you use a tripod? Thanks.
Thanks. I use the lowest ISO possible, which is 100 on the 10D. 200 maybe depending on the light. All the images are hand held.The 10D is a heavy camera so it's pretty easy to hold it steady. I really have a soft spot for the 10D. No other camera that I own produces images like it does. Good luck to you and your shooting!
i got a 10d for free and love it even though i have a nikon D100, D200,D300,D700 i still use the 10D for the more artistic shots with old helios 44 lenses on it
I upgraded from the EOS 10QD film camera to a EOS 10D in about 2004. The culture shock of film to digital was too much and I set it aside, and it was years before I tried digital again. I recently dug out the EOS 10D again, and had the sensor cleaned - I have had some great shots from it that really surprised me
Brian, very cool. Coming from film I'm sure you have the patience to work with a 10D, since it takes a lot. I still shoot with mine. These cameras are just gems.
I’ve been trying to get my 10D camera to take pictures but I don’t know how to get to that feature since i don’t know how to get to that point where I can see what the lens sees
Wolfjuul, if you're starting out use Auto mode and focus on composing shots. You are seeing what the lens sees already, since DSLRs have "through the lens" viewfinders. Take small steps to get where you want to be then change to Av or Tv and play with that. Being a good photographer takes a lot of time and practice, but that's what makes it fun. Good luck!
@@jeffstefan3027 thanks so much! I do have one thing that I’m having a small problem with is that why the exposure is so dark when I take a picture inside for practice. How do I fix that?
No it doesn’t in my opinion. The 30D is close, but there is nothing like a 10D. The 30D is a faster camera and is easier to use. There are also more megapixels. I have both cameras and tend to use the 30D for more casual shoots. If I’m looking to produce art, I usually opt for the 10D.
Press the Menu button in the back of the cameras. The first selection on the top is Quality. Press the set button inside the big scroll wheel on the back of the camera. This brings up a list of options (Large, Medium and Small). Scroll all the way down using the scroll wheel to where is says RAW. Use the set button to select RAW. Press the menu button to exit. You should be all set. When you transfer your files to your computer they will be in .CR2 format and not JPEG. I hope this helps.
Good for you. You will like this camera, but be patient with it. For a first DSLR lens, I would suggest trying to find a Canon EF 35mm or EF 50mm lens on eBay. A "nifty fifty" lens new costs around $125 U.S., so you should be able to pick one up for cheap on eBay. For a rundown of these two lenses, check out the Nifty Fifty video. Good luck!
nice video. i jsut picked up a 300d (or Rebel, as i think its called in the US) for $20 and im using a Yongnuo 50mm 1.8 for another $20. Watching your video as the hacked 300d firmware makes it close to a 10D. Looking forward to seeing what i can get out of this ultra low budget set up. Nice photos btw.
@@jeffstefan3027 just came back from shooting with the 300D coupled with an old Tamron Adaptall-2 35-70mm F3.5 CF Macro OM mount. (old lens from the 80s). Manual focus only. Got some really good photos. Love seeing what some of this old stuff can do and the images have got this nice creamy softness that i love.
Aziz, do you mean transferring the pictures from the camera to a computer? There's a compact disk card in the camera that holds the images and I use a simple card reader plugged into a computer to transfer images from the camera to a computer. The card readers are inexpensive (about 17 US dollars on Amazon) and plug into a USB port on the computer. I'm not sure what you meant by transferring pictures to a camera. I hope this helps!
@@jeffstefan3027 Thanks for the answer Jeff. I was trying to connect to the computer via USB cable, but I got "busy" warning on the camera screen, then it totally stopped working. Battery is full, it turned on but no anything. It's pretty new camera despite being an old model. Do you know how to recover it? I appreciate if you can help.
Harold, check the simple things first. Try adjusting the diopter wheel. It's the little wheel near the upper right of the viewfinder. You adjust this to correct for eyesight. I have to turn mine all the way to the right. Next, be mindful of the f-stop value when you shoot. A low f-stop, such as f/2.0 has a very shallow focus plane. Also, check your autofocus settings. Check out the autofocus videos I have posted. They may help. Let me know how things turn out.
The 10D doesn't support video. I think video was first available on Canon DSLRs on the 60D. The Canon DSLRs were released in a series of the 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D and finally the 60D. All are APSC or crop sensor cameras.
LN, I use Macs so I'm not sure. I would be surprised if win 10 was not supported. The good news is there is software for the 10D available on the Canon website.
No, video only became available on Canon DSLRs with the release of the Canon 60D, which came out in 2010. The 10D came out in 2002, eight years earlier. It took a few years for Canon to incorporate video into their DSLRs.
I have canon eos 10 d, but I have a problem with my camera,, i can not see anything in my camera view finder,,,, my view finder is closed, i dont khow why? Please help me and say to me, why my view finder(visor) is closed,,, thank you so much
There could be many reasons for this. It sounds like the shutter is staying open. Make sure you are not in some mode such as Bulb that keeps the shutter open. This is unlikely. It may be that the shutter is damages or is failing to operate. Make sure the camera is making some kind of noise when trying to take a shot- that would indicate that there is some activity and the shutter button is working. If not, It could be the shutter button but this is unlikely. Here's a UA-cam video on how to fix it: ua-cam.com/video/9vQ6yB7_LxE/v-deo.html Other than that you may need to take your 10D to a good camera technician/repairman to have it looked at. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
@@morganroberts295 I have a 7D and it's a great, underrated camera. I plan on doing a video on the 7D shortly. It's especially good for action photography with lightning fast rapid shutter rates. Also, the 7D is almost indestructible. It can takes tons of abuse and still work perfectly.
Thank you very much. Super nice and neat tutorial.

In the same way Chanel 19 still is an amazing scent better than 99% of modern perfumes, same goes for this camera. You are amazing with it.

I bet it is. I'll have to try it out. Thanks!

No it doesn’t in my opinion. The 30D is close, but there is nothing like a 10D. The 30D is a faster camera and is easier to use. There are also more megapixels. I have both cameras and tend to use the 30D for more casual shoots. If I’m looking to produce art, I usually opt for the 10D.
