5 out of 5 stars I got the best!   August 16, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was looking into the Canon Rebel Xsi and came close to buying it when a friend asked, "Have you looked at the 40D?" It was out of my price range, but after testing it in a few shops, I loved how it felt in my hands. I agree with other enthusiasts that the Rebels are too lightweight, and I'm a big guy so I need something sturdy to keep up with me. Had I held the Rebel during beach shoots, I would've been a little overprotective of it, feeling it would drop at any moment (even with the strap). Not the case with the 40D.

I love the 6.5 fps. It captures incredible images. The colors are vivid and professional-looking. Much better than my Canon A620 point-and-shoot. I've moved up to a camera I respect, and the price difference is justified. I love what it does, but more importantly, I love the anticipation of what it will do once I master it.

I just received my Canon EOS 40D with the 28-135mm lens kit (Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens) yesterday and haven't been able to put it down since. I contemplated going for either the Nikon D300 or the Canon EOS 40D for portrait work and am in no way regretful. I also ordered the Battery grip. All I can say is... FINALLY!! First of all it is pretty hefty (Not heavy) but is definitely has the 'Professional' feel to the body even without the lens. I added the 28-135mm lens and battery grip and this camera screams 'Hey everyone I'm really serious about photography.' I have absolutely no gripes about this camera. I have used the Canon Rebel XT in the past and this camera is in a league of its own. If you're in-between in your decision, don't be. Just get the camera and you won't be sorry. I know I'm not.

I could not believe the amount of detail in the camera. Those were taken with the 18-33is lens



5 out of 5 stars Amazing camera, best DSLR yet   August 13, 2008

I finally upgraded from my well-used, well-beaten 10D that I bought in 2004. It held up very well to my semi-pro use, but I was starting to get frustrated with the start-up lag and lack of exposure range.

The 20D and 30D never seemed that much better than the 10D, but from the first moment I held the 40D I knew it was time to upgrade. The big screen and minimal start-up and shutter lag times grabbed my attention at first. The auto-ISO was also a bonus in the camera store.

Once I got out in the field what really impresses me about this camera (which is at least as sturdy as my old 10D) is the wide exposure sensitivity. These days I have much more flexibility in choosing lighting, and don't have nearly the same problem with blown highlights that I did with the 10D. The images also require much less processing to bring out the best of their colors and sharpness. I've printed many right out of the camera.
