5 out of 5 stars My best DLSR yet...   May 17, 2008
I use to have a Nikon D70... the Canon 40D is 1,000x's better.
I use to have a Canon 20D... the Canon 40D is an excellent replacement.

The live view is great. The self cleaning sensor is a nice feature, although not sure how well it really works. I still find myself cleaning the sensor every few hundred actuations. The 3" LCD is great for reviewing pictures, altho, some of the newer cameras have much higher resolution than the 40D's LCD, but I'm not bothered by that. The size, weight and feel of the camera is top notch. Menus are easy to navigate and I love the available custom settings that you can just dial in. Every one has already offered their .02c about this camera, I just thought I'd share my experience through a short short short summary compared to some of the other great reviews already present.



5 out of 5 stars Good lord!   May 14, 2008

I just got my 40D. I have an XT. I did a couple of comparison shots - good Lord, what a camera compared to the XT (and from what I have heard the XSi is not that great of a leap up but in megapixels, build quality even down some say). I knew it'd be good but my goodness, I haven't even played with some of the settings yet and out of the box - out of the box - I put it on Manual and played around. Contrasted shots with the XT. CONTRAST - no comparison at all. So this is how all those guys take such great pics, hum...? : )

Get it. You'll love it. You won;t be sorry.



5 out of 5 stars WOW   May 14, 2008
I love it. I own Canon's Rebel XT & G5 cameras. This 40D has not dissappointed me and only reconfirms my faith in Canon. I love both of my older cameras but this feels like driving an Acura versus a Honda. The familiarity of the old with a tremendous boost of confidence to produce even better photographs for years to come. Great price as well through [...] as well! You won't regret buying this camera, esp with the 28-135 MM lens.


5 out of 5 stars from a rookie   May 14, 2008

I am having so much fun. I have no idea what all you tech people talk about in your reviews. I do know, I bought a camera above my ability and I never will use all its capabilities - But, I don't care, the beauty of these pictures and the 6 frames per second are incredible. The shots I've gotten at softball games, I just start laughing. They are so good, it has made me a pro. just kidding. I am loving life, the camera is so worth the price, cannot wait until snowboard season with the kids.

5 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this camera & make sure you buy from Amazon   May 11, 2008
No doubt this is a great camera. I bought body only along with 50mm f1.4 lens and images are extremely sharp. Live view is great although I prefer looking thru the viewfinder and the camera body feels very solid and professional.
I was very impressed with Amazon's fast free shipping and great price. I looked everywhere (online & retail) to find lower prices but no one could beat Amazon. Free shipping is extremely fast, it arrived 6 days faster than the expected delivery date. I was glad I didn't pay for faster shipping. I highly recommend this camera.
