Canon Introduces The EOS 10D Digital SLR Camera: 6.3 Megapixels With DIGIC
Technology， Magnesium Alloy Body, 7-Point Autofocus, Direct Print With Canon Printers, and Manual White Balance Highlight Newest Addition to EOS System Digital Cameras

LAKE SUCCESS, February 27, 2003 - Canon U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of
Canon Inc. (NYSE: CAJ), continues to provide professional photographers
and enthusiasts with the highest-quality digital SLR cameras available by
taking the most advanced camera features and combining them with the
latest innovations in digital imaging technology. In addition, Canon is
the only company in the industry to offer a camera with the 3 primary
components: an Image Sensor, Image Processor and Optics designed and
produced by the camera manufacturer*. And with its suggested list price of
$1,999, the new EOS 10D delivers one of the most important features
requested by photographers - affordability.

The new EOS 10D is the first digital SLR to offer Canon's exclusive DIGIC
Image Processor for maximum camera performance as well as direct
connectivity to several Canon Bubble Jet Direct printers and the CP-100
Card Photo Printer. The camera's body, constructed with rigid magnesium
alloy covers, houses and protects a number of advanced camera features
which are distinctively Canon including a very fast, wide area 7-point
autofocus system for precise focusing; 3 frames per second drive speed in
9-frame bursts in either JPEG or simultaneous RAW + JPEG capture settings;
an extended ISO range of 100-3200; manual white balance mode; selectable
color space options including Adobe RGB and sRGB; a scrollable 10x zoom
playback mode; and a Plug and Play USB interface.

The EOS 10D also supports EXIF 2.2, DPOF 1.1, FAT32, and Compact Flash
Type I and II, and is completely compatible with all EF-series lenses,
including the new EF 17-40mm f/4L USM.

"The EOS 10D is as much revolutionary as it is evolutionary," says Yukiaki
Hashimoto, senior vice president, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. "It
represents the perfect combination of advanced features from existing EOS
System cameras and the latest in digital imaging technology such as
Canon's exclusive DIGIC Image Processor. With features not found in other
digital SLRs at this, or any other pricepoint, we are confident that the
EOS 10D will meet and exceed the expectations of even the most demanding
photographers," Mr. Hashimoto added.

Elements of Image Quality
The image quality of any digital camera is not based solely on its
resolution. While resolution is clearly a key component of image quality,
two additional factors must be taken into consideration. First is the
quality of the camera's optics. The second is the quality of the camera's
image processor. Collectively these three units, working together,
ultimately determine the image quality of any digital camera. Today, Canon
is the only manufacturer of digital cameras that combines its own
extensive EF-series line of high-quality lenses, its own Image Sensor
(CMOS), and its own dedicated Image Processor (DIGIC), to help users
achieve maximum image quality.

Canon EF Lenses
Canon's heritage as an imaging company dates back almost 70 years to the
company's founding in 1935. Since then, Canon has worked hard to perfect
the process of creating extremely high-quality optics for its line of 35mm
cameras and other imaging products and is now the world's largest
manufacturer of cameras and lenses. Canon is a global leader in optical
design, with many advanced and original technologies such as aspherical
and fluorite lenses, optical image stabilizers, ultrasonic motors, and
more. Canon currently markets over 50 EF lenses for the EOS 10D,
representing one of the largest selections of interchangeable autofocus
lenses from any manufacturer.

Canon's CMOS Image Sensor
The EOS 10D incorporates a large-area 6.3 megapixel CMOS sensor designed,
developed and manufactured entirely within Canon. This sensor has the same
picture area (15.1 x 22.7mm) and aspect ratio (2:3) as the EOS D60, but
features superior image quality thanks to peripheral circuitry
improvements and a refined manufacturing process. A new amplifier circuit
boosts the S/N (signal to-noise) ratio to provide an extended sensitivity
range from ISO 100 to 3200 and superior noise reduction at all ISO speed
settings.

Canon's DIGIC Image Processor
Every digital camera uses a CPU of some kind to "process" images recorded
by the camera and also to control overall camera functions. In most cases,
this is the same type of general-purpose CPU typically used for video
games, word processors and computer spreadsheets. However, when such CPUs
are applied to image processing in digital cameras they tend to be very
slow.

Canon's proprietary image processor, called DIGIC, was developed
specifically for use with its line of digital cameras and combines the
jobs of image processing and camera function control into one chip.
Canon's DIGIC (short for Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) is much
faster at image processing than a general purpose CPU because it employs
parallel processing rather than the sequential, one pixel at a time
processing methods used by "conventional" digital cameras. The extra speed
of DIGIC makes it possible to incorporate higher quality signal processing
algorithms than conventional digital cameras, while at the same time
improving buffer performance and consuming less battery power because
signal processing is completed more quickly on a per-image basis.
However, DIGIC does much more than image processing. Because it was
specifically designed for use in a digital camera, it is also capable of
handling nearly every digital camera function including JPEG
compression/expansion; memory card control; Auto Exposure; Auto White
Balance control and most other camera functions. In the case of the EOS
10D, for example, the number of consecutive frames is 9, compared to 8 in
the EOS D60 and the battery life lasts approximately 30 percent longer.

These improvements were made possible by the DIGIC Image Processor, not by
any improvements in the camera or batteries themselves.
7-Point Wide-Area Autofocus

The EOS 10D's advanced 7-point AF system is a major upgrade from the D60's
3-point system, and its speed is as fast or faster than the EOS Elan
7/7E's. The 7 focusing points are conveniently and unobtrusively
superimposed on the viewfinder, cover a wide area for superb precision,
and are manually selectable for a high degree of control. Ideal focus is
achieved whether camera orientation is vertical or horizontal, with
moving, still or off-center subjects, and even in low light/low contrast
situations.

Intelligent Orientation Sensor
This new function detects whether the camera is positioned horizontally or
vertically and uses that information in a variety of helpful ways. In
addition to improving autofocus and exposure metering accuracy, the
Intelligent Orientation Sensor enables the EOS 10D to automatically rotate
vertical format images during playback on the built-in LCD monitor, and
add rotation data to the image file header. Compatible software
applications such as Canon's File Viewer Utility, ZoomBrowser EX and
ImageBrowser read this data and automatically rotate thumbnail images
during downloads to accelerate workflow.

Expanded RAW + Jpeg Settings
When a RAW image is captured, the EOS 10D simultaneously records and
stores a JPEG image in the RAW image file. Unlike the EOS D60 where this
mode was only possible for the Middle/Fine setting, the JPEG image can be
set to any of the six JPEG quality settings on the EOS 10D.

White Balance and Color Temperature
In addition to the five preset White Balance modes featured on the EOS
D60, the shade setting (approximately 7000K) has been added for a total of
nine white balance modes. The EOS 10D also features a Manual color
temperature setting allowing for greater color precision and creative
control over any scene. Users are now able to manually set the color
temperature directly from the camera's menu from 2800 to 10,000 degrees
Kelvin values in 100-degree increments.

In the White Balance Bracketing mode, a set of three images is made at the
same exposure level while shifting the white balance up to +/- 3 steps in
1-step increments, to render a cooler or warmer color temperature. Each
step is equivalent to 5 Mireds (Micro- reciprocal degrees).
Bundled Software

The EOS 10D is bundled with an upgraded software package featuring
powerful drivers which are compatible with Windows XP and Mac OS X.
Additional Canon utilities such as ZoomBrowser EX, PhotoRecord, RAW Image
Converter, PhotoStitch and RemoteCapture are also supplied, together with
Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0.

The EOS 10D measures 5.9 x 4.2 x 3.0 inches and weighs 27.9 oz. (body
only). It will be available at authorized retailers in mid-March with a
suggested list price of $1,999.

EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Wide-Angle Zoom Lens
The EF 17-40mm f/4L USM is an ultra wide-angle zoom lens that is being
announced simultaneously with the EOS 10D, but is compatible with all
Canon cameras that use the company's proprietary EF lens mount. The new
lens was developed as a more affordable alternative to the renowned EF
16-35mm f/2.8L USM lens that has become a mainstay for professional
photographers around the world. Featuring 3 aspherical surfaces and 1 UD
glass element in a 13-element optical formula, the new 17-40mm lens
delivers image quality equal to the 16-35mm lens. Like other current
L-series models, the new 17-40mm lens is also built to professional
standards in terms of build quality, with a metallic lens barrel and
extensive gasketing for superb weather resistance. It will be available at
authorized retailers in May with a suggested list price of $1,200.

我想买方１０Ｄ不知目前多少人民币一台！

佳能Eos-10D存在着严重的对焦问题，而且我使用的镜头也是佳能品牌专业级镜头。

小弟用过D30,D60,总觉得画面灰朦朦不舒服,后来换成了1D,果然真的是CMOS和CCD的差别.
试发图请各位DX比较.当然,该图有做适当的PS.CANON EOS1D,EF17-35 F/2.8L

[佳迷 编辑于 2003-04-26 20:07]

我买了一台，确实是标错了。但应该说，不会影响使用。

昨天开会去了，没你说的，现场的10D不少哦,

来自日本的网站报道佳能EOS 10D的CMOS出了问题，但是厂商未告之具体的原因，目前10D的生产受到定影响，已经摊发到销售商和专卖店的产品估计会被召回，但是具体时间也不详细。据小编的日本朋友告之，10D其中一个问题是在中文菜单系统中把“文件名是否连续”错误标志为“是否连续自动对焦”，看来佳能10D在4月1号国内上市的日期会被推迟。

还要知道是什么镜头拍的才好下点儿判断啊。

环境色彩如此！调下白平衡可以得到讨人喜欢的暖调！但喜欢夸张鲜艳的直接买717好了！

pp出来了！

谢皆能，我 用10D的RAW格式拍后用CF读卡器上传，到电脑上用属性检查显示是CRW格式，不知何故？用过的是否碰过这问题？

10D各位玩家,本人用RAW格式拍后用CF读卡器上传，到电脑上用属性检查显示是CRW格式，什么软件都打不开，不知何故？

没有！现在手上有机的应该都是外文的！玩过D60基本你都会用啦！其他中文一看你就知道！

LoneBird你真厉害！不错！大家自己看好了！

心里很痒，但还是打算再观望一年。主要是配镜头不方便，因为1.5/1.6倍率的关系，没有24-85、80-200这样经典的搭配。新推出的广角镜太贵，如果要各焦段配齐，没有4万拿不下来。
现在手上用的是Olympus C4000，升级目标是数码单反，但如果顶级民用数码在降噪、焦段、快门迟滞方面有明显突破的话，将来也不排除上顶级民用数码。
对于民用数码，我认为在性能方面达到数码单反的水平没有任何障碍，毕竟都是电子装置，本质上没有不同。EVF电子取景器可以做到无视差，数码单反唯一的优势是可换镜头。
所以，我认为民用数码在未来也不失为一个选项。
