 Canon EOS 40D February 15, 2008

This camera is just what I needed, it has more bells and whisle than I can use. It is also so easy to use that I have threatened to allow my partner to use it.

Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
As lots of people have reviewed this camera and discussed the improvements of the 40D as compared to the 30D, I will skip all that.
I previously owned a Rebel XTi a fine camera and a big improvement over my Rebel XT (which I still own). But I found myself missing shots at low light sporting events because the AF (auto focus)speed was too slow. I also found that my hands hurt from holding the XTi for long periods of time.
So I sold my XTi and bought a 40D. I am certainly glad that I did.
The ergonomics of this camera make it easier for me to hold, especially for long periods of time. The larger viewing screen is also a plus for some one like me with aging eyesight.
The layout of the controls is a lot easier for me. It's just so much easier to adjust the EV compensation using the main dial on the 40D.
The increased burst rate is very helpful to me when shooting sports or marching bands.
The AF speed is a huge improvement over my XTi. It's so much faster that I can now use some of my slower lenses in situations that did not work at all with the XTi.
The image quality produced by the 40D is astounding as well.
Let me close by saying that if you shoot sports with a Rebel XT or XTi the 40D would be a great investment for you.

I purchased the Canon EOS 40D body along with the Canon EF 50mm F1.4 USM lens. I am very impressed with how quiet and fast it is. The controls are very natural and easy to adapt to. The camera takes great pictures with jpeg compression, but in many cases they seem to be blurry when shooting in Raw format. I don't know how an uncompressed format can create unsharp results and a compressed mode can create better results, but I am going to research that. Other than that, the LCD resolution for the 3-inch screen is only 230K.
A warning to Photoshop lovers. If you like to shoot in RAW, Photoshop CS2 will not support CR2 files and you will have to upgrade to Photoshop CS3. Lightroom is a popular program used by professional photographers and is supposed to have the capability of supporting the CR2 files.

This Canon EOS 40D camera is an excellent step into the next technology of picture taking. My wife matched it
with a Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM lens. It does everything that she wants. She has been taking pro-amateur pictures for twenty years. All I hear is WOW!!

I've had my 40D for a week. I'm not going to provide a technical review, as many others have already done a great job at that already. I appreciate those reviews, as they helped me decide to get this camera. I'll cut to the point and tell you that this is a great camera. It can be customized for any individual user, or set to one of it's basic modes for those not interested in the details of photography but who still want amazing pictures. The first pictures I took, using some of the simplest settings, came out great. I am also impressed with Canon's software package. Processing RAW images is very easy. As someone new to digital SLR photography, I can assure you this camera is well suited to even the novice photographer. I also purchased a book about the 40D, and am very glad I did. If you're new to digital photography, having a book to provide some education is a great idea. That's it, short and sweet. This camera gets 5 stars.
