Based upon hearsay by those that have used it and weren't happy but at no time did I "rip" the product, I simply asked a question and now your looking for a fight.
I honestly had no sarcastic intent and mean no slight to hawkeye1.
He tends to say stuff like that and there'd be less noise here if
the rest of us just let it go on by.

Hi John:
First, I’m grateful to the salesperson who persuaded me to try the
Sigma. It pays to shop locally (I think).
I’ve only had the lens for a couple of days, and I’m still waiting
for better weather so I can do more shooting with it, but the
simple tests I did with it so far really impressed me. The 8x10
prints look very good – and I’m talking about no sharpening being
used. At 15mm (24mm) the edge sharpness is so much better than the
Tamron 14mm (which is what convinced me to sell the 14mm). It
appears sharper than my 28-135 IS. The only other lens that is
sharper (of the lenses I’ve used) is my 20-35mm USM. I don’t want
to take the Sigma off the camera!

Photography – you gotta love it. All kinds of flavors and enough
for everyone.
--I honestly can't fathom threads that start like this one. Here are
shots from my first outing with my 10D. Famous Mission Inn in
Riverside, California.
These two shots are straight from the camera, converted from RAW
without any adjustment, and resized to 600 vertical, only for the
web. No other processing. No USM, no color adjust, no exposure
adjust, no adjustment whatsoever. Didn't take time to bring out
the shadows a bit for web display. This color is spot-on. Just
like being there. On my printer, paper combination (Epson 1280 and
Epson Heavy Matte) the printed output is better than what I see
on-screen in terms of dynamic range.
My 10D is perfect, and a very significant improvement over my D60
(eBay disposal 10 days ago).

A person can only have a fight if there's a willing participant. You need two hands to make a clapping sound. The sound of one hand clapping is silence.
I'll ask anyway I find fit. But thank you for trying to control me. Have you sought couseling for this control problem of yours.
Sure you are. There's no doubt about it. The fact you keep carrying on like this proved you want a fight.
My basis was the comments by others that have the camera. If you need a fight, get counseling.
Well since I don't have one, I have to take what you and others say which is the hearsay that you don't like. Gee, what a concept, taking other people's experienced opinion into consideration.
At know time was this an issue about the D30, it was a reasonable issue about the characteristics of the 10D. "....don't have a 10D." Wow! You're sicker then even you realize.

That must be why I like the vivid box checked when I print with the
S9000
off or printing on matte paper but most of the time it's "glossy"
and "vivid" for me
Thomas,
Sounds like the color is all over the place and dialing in the system for accurate color is a must do
I don't know if I could "sell it". That would be like sending a loyal animal off to the glue factory. I'll just make a shrine to it and let it gather dust
I've been fine with the slow/bad/horrible AF of the D30, as my subject matter is always static. Oak trees and street signs don't run very fast
But the low light, low contrasty subjects do cause troubles when there shouldn't be problems. It seems the much better AF of the 10D makes it worth the price. Amazing how Canon did this. We'll make the little critters suffer through a couple of years of bad AF and then "WHAM!", we'll give them decent AF and watch them hit the hip Yepper, it's a marketing ploy that's working marvelously The next body will have a 1.3X crop and nine megapixels. Just enough to make you want to hit the hip and nothing more. That's their marketing plan.It will be nice to get some accurate color. I've had no complaints with the color of the D30. I shoot in JPEG/fine and saturation turned off/low/0 or what ever the lowest setting isThe nonsense I hear from people who say that the colour is not as
punchy as in their D30/60 - tweak it in Photoshop or turn the
saturation up in-camera! I actually appreciate having more accurate
colour as I have never has skin tones look this good straight out
of my D30, or my friend's D60...EVER! In fact, sometimjes I could
never get the skin tones to look just right - no such problem with
the 10D!
As I read some of the postings by owners, comments have showed up as to a dislike of the color the 10D produces. Well, as I'm in the process of clearing out the plastic so as to be able to pick a 10D up, people start spooking me with their comments. Ooos!Could this possibly, based upon varying positive/negative, be a sensor that was not accurately set in the assembly process?
