Almost started to get the 10D

Now what I have taken two mounts trying to decide on the Nikon D70 or the
Canon 10D I was almost one day from buying the Canon 10D from a local Store
for $1299 Plus the damn tax, or e-bay used ones from 999 to 1175 not a good
deal for a used one but the bidders were buying them up as fast as they
could for top dollar. What gives. New camera from a local dealer equals
better deal with local people. NOW what new decision, now weight for the new
Canon 20D a few months away, 8 mp, better performance in some areas, now
I will be without again for some time. All ****.

Some of the best photos I have ever taken (and quite recently too) were
taken on a 26 year old camera. My 10D is fantastic for what I do with it
and I don't intend to soon replace it just because a more dense sensor
arrives on the market. I might however, get one of the new 10mm zooms!

Look closer, Canon’s new zoom is EF-S, you can’t fit it to a 10D!

Personally, if I were buying now I would put my name down for the new 20D
which will be available next month.

Will the 20D take the older lenses as used on the 10D.
Now since it looks I will be waiting for the new 20D ( really might take 5
months for the bugs to be worked out ), I will be looking over the choices
of lenses that could be used. Again another hold up, But I really like the
10D but the cost is now too close.
I am starting from scratch. Need flash, Lenses and camera body.

OOOOHHH hold on, I am seeing that a Sigma new 3hrd gen 3X tech is coming
out even better.
but on the second thought I pass. Ha Ha

Hurry and weight.

Then you need to replace it. The 10D don't have an EF-S mount.

Once the 20D is out and shipping, I wonder what will happen to the price for
the 10D ?

My bet is it comes down quite a bit...

Best,
