Here are few pics that I have taken with the camera in the last few days that I have had it (I am writing this on August 2.) All of these have been processed in Photoshop 7 and sharpened with Fred Miranda's Intellisharpen action (an excellent tool.)
I took this one outside my house. Of course when I got my camera it was raining so I couldn't go out shooting but as soon as the rain stopped for a bit, I started clicking away.
This was outside the grocery store. I really wanted to pick that leaf off the bumper but I resisted the urge ;-)
Outside my house...
One of my son. The flesh tones on the 10D are excellent.
This is the fountain in front of our civic center. My wife had run inside to the scrapbooking convention so I took a few pictures. Yes the lights are blue -- the white balance is not out of whack :-)
Taken with the 50mm f/1.8 lens. Shutter speed 1/30, aperture f/2.0, ISO 400.
These next two are meant to show the 10D's high ISO capabilities. This picture was taken at ISO 3200. I was using the 28-135IS lens. The shutter speed was 1/8 second (IS was turned on of course,) f/5.0, RAW mode. It's easiest to see the noise that is there in the dark sky. This picture is unedited -- only converted from RAW to TIFF with Breezebrowser, then resized and saved as a JPG in PS7. Yes there is noise there but remember this was taken at ISO 3200! Imagine how much noise you would see in film that fast...
I then converted the RAW file to a TIFF with Breezebrowser and loaded it into Neat Image. I took noise profiles from the sky and from the white hood of the van on the right. After Neat Image did its thing, I saved it again as a TIFF and brought it into Photoshop. I ran Fred Miranda's Intellisharpen on it and got this result:
To me, this is a stunning result. This started life as an ISO 3200 picture and the end result has about as much noise as my E20 did at ISO 160. The original (before noise removal) had a little more than my E20 at ISO 320. That's amazing. One of the main reasons I bought the 10D was for its excellent low light (high ISO) capabilities. I am NOT disappointed. I doubt that I will be using 3200 very often but for those times that it's necessary, I know that I can use it with complete confidence that I will get an excellent result.
