Video: Canon EOS 10D Exploded View

Matthew Farrell, Michelle Pang, Michael Tom, engineering students of Engineering 128 class from University of California, produced an exploded view (and re-assembling) of a Canon EOS 10D [shoplink 13933 ebay](eBay)[/shoplink] with a 24-85mm F/3.5-4.5 lens to show how complex a digital DSLR is. The video was made 4 years ago. It is not entirely clear if they used blue-prints from Canon but I guess they did the whole modelling on their own. Kudos!

The EOS 10D was introduced February 2003. It had 6.3 MP sensor, a 7-point AF system, magnesium alloy body, ISO 100-1600 (3200), 3fps.

UPDATE: It turned out there are more videos (click here) testing the EOS M auto-focus with the upcoming firmware 2.0.2. The AF is tested both in the FlexiZone Multi and FlexiZone Single settings. 12 videos, I posted 6. Thanks to reader spy-spy-spy for this.

Thanks to the reader who sent me the links, greatly appreciated!

Have a look at the videos (by YouTube user Daero Lee) below to see what the upcoming firmware update (ver. 2.0.2) for the [shoplink 6091]Canon EOS M[/shoplink] is going to deliver :) The [shoplink 6095]EF-M 18-55mm IS STM[/shoplink] is tested with the old and new firmware, as is the [shoplink 6095]EF-M 22mm f/2 STM[/shoplink]. And – YES! Helluva! – the Auto-Focus is much faster than with the current firmware. Flexizone-Multi AF was used for the tests. You can see that AF using firmware 2.0.2 is a bit faster in the 18-55mm.

Let’s start with the firmware 1.0.6 (first video) vs 2.0.2 (second video) comparison using the EF-M 18-55mm at 18mm:

More videos after the jump.
