Jimmy, ignore this troll - he posts to intentionally mislead (for what reason none of us knows, but he's apparently been doing it for years). You're on the right track and you have one of the very best cameras in the business, so you won't be itching for anything (I'm sure you know this already). Just keep working on your skills, because ultimately that will be the most important thing. Mike |

I see my warning elsewhere in this thread was not needed - you are exactly right, and good for you for ferriting this out on your own. Do you have any of your work posted anywhere? I'd like to see it. Mike |

"Georgette Preddy" wrote in message om... Here is a good place to start when using the 10D... - No hot spots in the scene whatsoever (they WILL blow in highlite) - No action requiring servo AF focus (near 100% miss rate) - Nothing that requires review mode for fine tuning (camera too slow) - Nothing that requires MLU or bracking (set up/down too heinous) - Nothing that requires crisp focus (incapable in areas of vivid color) Once again George shows his idiocy, and general lack of experience with ANY camera. |

Any university would fire this idiot before they even hired him. |
