Canon 10D vs. Digital Rebel?Posted By Robert Watters |
The 10D and 300D have the same sensor, I'm not sure about the processor. The mirror lock up really doesn't come into play unless you are taking planetary or lunar shots and even then it won't make much difference, unless you have a flimsy mount. The other customizable features the 10D has over the 300D are not in use in the "Bulb" mode so it's really a non issue unless you plan on using it for normal photography.
Most of the guys that are taking astro shots with the 10D are using the TC80N3 programable remote. The 300D does not have anything like this so the exposures have to be done manually one at a time, **UNLESS** you want to modify the plug on the TC80N3 to fit the 300D which can be done. There is a diagram floating around on the net and it sounds fairly easy to do.
I have the 300D but have not been able to get out with it because of the weather. I've only taken a couple tripod shots of less than 30sec and it looks good. I plan on shooting the comets with it.
