Steve, Canon's 10D cameras sometimes come from the factory with a less than perfect focus. Borrow a good lens (like a Canon L series lens) and see if the problem is still there. If it is, you may have to send the camera (and lens, since they are adjusted to one another) to Canon for recalibration. If you want to do a focus test, go to this Web site: http://www.photo.net/learn/focustest/. As they explain on that site, there are other areas of error. You probably should read the site before you reach any conclusions. HTH pax rand
