The Canon 10D was the first xxD series camera released by Canon in February 2003. It has a 6.3-megapixel sensor. The auto-focus system was a massive 7-point system, up from the 3-point system of the Canon D60. This was the first Canon body that allowed automatic image rotation upon playback.
As for performance, the 10D holds quite well, offering 3 frames/sec burst mode, native ISO up to 1600 and 1/4000 to 30s shutter. The body weighs in at 790g, which is actually 115g heavier than the newly released Canon 60D. The 60D is however, is the lightest xxD released by Canon.
Though the APS-C format is still king of the xxD, the 10D only accepts EF lenses [EF-S lenses were not yet available]. Feel free to view the awesome image gallery over at the POTN forums, but beware it has led to many new and nostalgic purchases!
