Summary: Canon 40D is a great Camera

Comment: 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)

Summary: The EOS 50D Was Announced Today

Comment: 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.

Summary: 40D upgrade from the 30D

Comment: 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!

Summary: EOS Canon 40D

Comment: I haven't really had the camera long enough to fully test it but so far, it is outstanding. I've always been a Canon shooter so the feel and functions are familiar. I like it.
