Chronology
PredecessorCanon EOS D60
SuccessorCanon EOS 20D

The Canon EOS 10D is a discontinued 6.3-megapixel semi-professional digital SLR camera, initially announced on 27 February 2003.[1] It replaced the EOS D60, which is also a 6.3-megapixel digital SLR camera. It was succeeded by the EOS 20D in August 2004.[2]

Despite having an APS-C sensor, the 10D was introduced before EF-S lenses became available and was incompatible with them.[3] The 10D is compatible only with EF lenses. All successive Canon Digital SLR cameras with APS-C sensors can mount EF-S lenses.

The 10D captured RAW images in the Canon CRW file format, which was retired by Canon, although modern versions of Canon's Digital Photo Professional will read it.

When it was released, recommended retail price in the USA was $1,999 (£1,520).[1]
