The EOS 10D digital SLR camera inherits and expands on the advanced features of the EOS D60, offering enhanced digital-performance and improved shooting features to meet the needs of high-end amateur users. The model's imaging element comprises a Canon-developed 6.3-megapixel large-area (22.7 x 15.1mm effective size in a 3:2 aspect ratio) high-resolution CMOS sensor, an RGB primary color filter, and Canon's newly developed DIGIC Imaging Engine, which makes possible enhanced image-processing speed and precision. These advanced features combine to realize increased image quality and definition, and more natural color reproduction compared with the EOS D60. Advanced shooting features include a high-speed 7-point wide area autofocus (AF) with focusing points superimposed in the viewfinder, making accurate framing simple. Featuring Canon's proprietary AF sensor, the EOS 10D utilizes a high-speed microprocessor, an orientation sensor, and an improved AF algorithm to boost speed and subject-tracking performance, ensuring that even off-center and fast moving subjects are captured sharply. The new camera offers enhanced continuous-shooting performance, capturing approximately three frames per second for a burst of up to nine shots, regardless of the recording format, ISO setting or subject conditions. Canon has achieved new advances in its CMOS sensor technology to make possible longer exposures with less degradation in image quality for an extended range of ISO-equivalent speed settings from ISO 100 to ISO 1600. Moreover, the new camera offers an "ISO Expansion" menu setting that permits users to select a maximum speed of ISO 3200
