 Great Photography With Ease! August 30, 2008
I've wanted a D-SLR for the longest time, and I always knew Canon made some great cameras. However, now that I've had this for over a month... the EOS 40D isn't just a great camera... it's amazing!
The pictures are outstanding (even in compressed mode!), and this bad boy is so easy to use. I've never used an SLR camera prior to purchasing this (I'm a TOTAL novice here LOL), and in just a weeks time, I felt completely comfortable shooting pictures fully manual.
Features:
The 3" screen is awesome for quick reviewing pictures. My friend has a 20D (I think it's only a 2" screen), and it's so difficult to tell whether or not the picture turned out good.
The AF on this is awfully quick, and really shines when shooting multiple frames per second. I took my 40D to the zoo only days after having it, and my goodness... I couldn't believe the quality of the pictures.
Liveview is pretty cool... but I prefer using the viewfinder. Much easier to tell if the picture is focused.
Battery life is great, and when it's time to recharge... it charges up pretty quick.
I definitely like the IS (Image Stabilizer) that's on the 28-135mm lens. I have a pretty steady hand, so shooting pics at slower speeds still turn out great!
Comfort:
The camera seemed a little large at first... but I noticed it fit in my hands very well. Another friend of mine has a Rebel XT... and I HATE it. It's so small, my hands cramp up after using it for a few minutes.
Build Quality:
The camera feels very solid when holding it, which adds peace of mind as far as lasting a long time.
OVERALL:
I really feel that the novice photographer can enjoy this camera, and not feel intimidated with the amount of features it offers. I'm sure the vets out there can REALLY appreciate what this camera can do. I highly recommend this product!
You should appriciate that you can get your EOS 40D only $900.00 August 29, 2008
EOS 40D is still offering best value even EOS 50D is going to be available.
 Canon 40D is a great Camera August 29, 2008
Then Why would I give it 1 star??? Well I had to shoot a wedding and 2 days before the event the camera dies on me with a busy sign on the LCD and the buttons were unresponsive. I had to rent the equipment and the store didn't have anything but the Mark III 1ds!@#$!@ Darn I got to play with an awesome Camera for a while at the same time managed to burn a hole in my wallet. Im pretty sure this IS A GREAT Camera I just had bad luck with mine... (Ive done extensive research before buying this camera and if this never happened... 5 stars for sure)
The EOS 50D Was Announced Today August 26, 2008

The EOS 50D, which is the upgrade to the EOS 40D, was announced by Canon today. It will be available in October. If you are considering the 40D then you might want to also take a look at the new 50D. Specifications are on Canon's web site, canonusa.com. The EOS 50D has 15 megapixels and other improvements. Tks.
40D upgrade from the 30D August 26, 2008
Love this camera. I decided to upgrade the 30D after waiting for a while. The cleaner high ISO images from the DIGIC III processor and the Live View were the two main selling points. I love low light flash free photography. This body meets those demands in ACES.
Build (much like the 30D) is solid with a few physical refinements and improvements. It makes a great second body for my 1D MarkII that is a well tested workhorse.
Much quieter than the 30D (and the MarkII). All those familiar controls that make photography a smooth process (I'm sure Nikonians feel the same about their cameras). Improved sensor density, custom functions and 3" LCD for review are big pluses.
In keeping with all of my delayed decisions to upgrade in the past, Canon followed suite just weeks after my purchase by announcing the release of the 15MP DIGIC IV Canon 50D. I would guess this will drop the price of the 40D even more but I have no remorse. This is a super camera!
