On the other hand if you are looking at equipment for a "sports
shooter" maybe you should really consider the Canon 1D MkII. It is a
real "machine gun" for rapid sequence photography, assuming you have
the budget of course.

How does if compare with the Nikon D2H? Does it have the same remote
wireless support?

I don't know, never had the opportunity to use a D2H, sorry.

The other pros and cons don't really matter to me. Both had their
issue of AF backfocusing. The 10D has cleaner images most of the times
but is significantly more likely to blow highlights (typical Canon

Please explain the term "AF backfocusing". New to Digital and learning ...
Thanx

10D has less noise in low light. is that important to you?

I am swithching a dozen sports and portrait photographers from film to
digital. I shoot the Canon digital SLRs and enjoy the technology. Are
there
any real reasons why to choose the 10d over the D70? What are the pros
and
cons? The Nikon rep praises his hardware as does the Canon rep. Can any
users help me? I know they are not apple to apple - but thats why I need
to
discover users experiences. Thanks in advance - please email responses to

The question is then how low? And what ISO,... and will you be using
flash.

Noise appears when under exposing,......using a flash 1600 iso is
measurably less noisy than ambient exposures at 1600.

Why didn't you shoot RAW?

Simple. I believe that when you spend more time fiddling with the
picture than taking the picture, something is fundamentally wrong.

I think RAW is a pain in my buttocks. Some people may have the fetish
to play around with Photoshop, Bibble or the like. But what it comes
down to is: Shooting RAW is fixing the faults of the camera using
another technology. It's like telling analogue peole to always develop
their own film while always applying compensation of whatever kind on
a per picture basis... because the camera cannot do better.

The camera should be able to generate decent JPEG images suitable for
reproduction.

Aside from that, most of the times I don't have the time to do RAW
plus processing.

Yeah...but it doesn't take that much time. When I bring my 10D RAW
images into Photoshop, about all I usually have to do is bring up the
shadow level. Even when more adjustment is required, it takes less
than a minute.

I want the best possible quality. That means RAW. After all the hours
I spent in the darkroom through the years, a few minutes at the
computer is a small price to pay for quality.

I need high quality TIFFs to have large prints made by a professional
lab.
