Advantages: Strong, built to last, great quality

Disadvantages: Heavy!

I love my 10D, it is my favourite bit if kit. Sure it is weighty but that's because it is built like a tank and can take things that cheaper plastic Canon's can't. It is definitely built to last. It produces great pics and I find it's controls a lot more instinctive than many other cameras I've used, they aren't put in silly places and are quick to access (again not like many other cameras where you have to go through a million different screens just to change the ISO). I actually own two now as I shoot weddings and like to keep a different lens on each. I did have a 300D as it is based on the 10D and it's lighter but it just didn't compare. Great camera for photographers wanting to progress towards pro level but can't stretch to the prices of a 5D or 1D. Usually can be picked up really cheaply second hand now but they don't tend to lose their quality because of their rugged build.

Summary: Much better value then any of the plastic Canons
