 So far, so good! September 18, 2008
I got this as my first DSLR. The learning curve is somewhat steep, but levels out quickly. Anyone coming from digital point and shoots will be amazed at how much easier a DSLR is to use; and image quality is breathtaking. This is a tool that will draw you in to the hobby, not push you away. Be forewarned, though; although it is easier to take nice pictures, you instantly are placed farther away from the best pictures you can take!
Build quality is outstanding, the camera is solid. It fits the hand well, and controls are easily accessible by feel while looking through the viewfinder. Battery life is very good, even with AF/IS lenses; I burned through a 8G card while shooting action sports, but never needed to change batteries.
From what I understand, this camera will be marketed alongside the new 50D. Although I can't say which is the better choice, I can say that this tool is very satisfying.
Just buy it. September 16, 2008
After my Digital Rebel XT died on me on the first day of a five day trip to the Amazon, I decided it was time for an upgrade. I have only used it a few times, but I can tell you it's sweet! The best improvement over the Rebel XT is the auto-focus ability - one giant step forward. The focus used to wander quite often using my 75-300 IS lens, but not anymore. Thank you!
Canon 40D & 28-135mm IS USM lens combo September 14, 2008
Excellent camera, excellent lens. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. I just wish I had known the 50D was being announced before I bought it, lol. But, received quickly and I'm quite happy with the purchase.
Good choice! September 8, 2008

It's very nice camera.
High speed shooting, the good quality of shots when the high ISO speed is set, Live View is useful mode when Auto focus cannot provide the good focusing.
Totally satisfied September 1, 2008

I own a Canon XTi camera and was very pleased with it. The 40D is a step above the XTi. The image quality is a step better. When you buy a particular brand of camera, whether it be Canon, Nikon, whatever, you "get in bed" with them because of ALL the accessories. I have more money invested in Canon compatible lenses, than just the camera. The Nikon D300 came out and it is a step above the 40D. I could not consider going for it because of having to start over again with all new lenses, flash units, etc.
The 40D is a very high quality camera and the owner sees this the minute you turn the camera on. I am very picky when it comes to picture quality, and although a $4,000 camera will be better than the 40D, I have to be practical. I think the 40D is the best deal (camera) you can get for this amount of money.
