I had the opportunity to test drive a 10D yesterday.
As a 1Ds owner I am considering this camera as a
backup and carry around body.
The camera performed flawlessly and although it seemed
to resolve fine detail less than was possible with the 1Ds,
it had noticeably less noise that the 1Ds.
The only thing that is holding me back from buying one and
maybe one of you guys can shed some light on this is how
the files can't seem to tolerate any manipulation after the
fact. I tested in RAW using the Adobe98 setting working,
obviously, in 16bit. As I am a Mac user I was forced to use
Canons RAW converter. Images converted well,but slow,as
expected and histograms looked good in Photoshop.
The problem,to my way of working,occurs when I try to
perform relatively simple corrections,such as a moderate
curves or levels adjustment,after the fact. The histograms
are now completely fractured or 'combed' as if the corrections
had been applied to an 8bit file.Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mark
