A new era is born. Say hello to the Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR. It may be 3 years old now but its still a kick ass camera. And thanks to the Japanese fondness for newer models and the marvel that is Yahoo auction I managed to aquire this beauty for a mere 44'000 yen! which is cheaper than my old camera. I will still use my old Canon s2is, I mean its been with me through jungles, waterfalls, river rapids, rock concerts and many a drunkeen night out so I can't just abandon it. But the 10D quote '' is a 6.3 million pixel digital SLR with a seven-point autofocus system and 3 fps burst rate—all contained within an ergonomic magnesium alloy body shell.'' Which means even a muppet drunk in a chicken coop can take awesome pictures! I dont have a CF card yet so I'll have to wait till friday before I can pop its cherry. And yes I know I do sound like a geek or as we say in Japan Otaku.
