This is an image off my new 10D. It looks good but the problem is it was the only good one out off about 200+ shots. The camera is severely front focusing.

So it's packed up and ready to ship back.

Comments and Suggestions welcome,

Chris

Very nice image. Too bad about the focusing problem. I got lucky when I got my 10D. It focuses OK.

A very nice detailed photo. It might make a great vertical too.

Beautiful image, Chris. With the bird large in the frame, I'd crop to a 5:4 ratio vertical.

Focus looks great to me--excellent picture but I still can't tell a Purple Finch from a House Finch.

Thanks Jill,

I must say, I purchased the camera from Alan's Camera Shop and they are shipping me a new one over nite today. I found out about them on this forum and they are the nicest people I ever had to deal with on any purchase. First class all the way. They will have all my business from now on and I will recommend them to anyone who is looking for camera equipment.

Chris

Hey Steve,

The easiest way to tell them apart is the two white streaks on the side of the head.
