 Buy the Nikon D300 January 25, 2008
12 out of 33 found this review helpful
I bought the 40D as soon as it came out and was very happy with it for about 3 months. I then had the chance to compare with a friend's Nikon D300. Unfortunately for me and the 40D, there was no contest in terms of colour rendition or noise in low light. I take a lot of pictures indoors and soon became very disenchanted with my purchase, so much so that I sold it on e-bay and bought the Nikon. I've been a customer of both brands over the years so I have lenses to spare, but if you're going for a prosumer model, then save the extra dollars for the D300 if you're not locked into Canon with your lens collection.
 Worthy upgrade from the EOS-30D January 23, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
If you own a Canon 30D, this camera is a worthy upgrade. If you're still working with a Canon 20D, it's a no-brainer. The 40D is more rugged, has a gorgeous 3-inch color LCD, is more customizable than any previous mid-range model from Canon, and has a speedier 6.5 fps continuous shooting rate that's perfect for most sports. And I haven't even mentioned cool features like Live View and the automated internal dust-removal system.
At 10.1 MP the 40D has all the resolution most of us really need, and when bundled with the 28-135mm lens you've got every focal length from normal to mid-telephoto (45mm to 216mm equivalent)covered. Life is too short to be using last year's digital SLR.
The only "defect" I could come up with is the manual for this camera, which is complete in terms of enumerating features and options, but not so illuminating when it comes to explaining how and why you might use these features. The best book available on Canon digital photography right now is Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography. I recommend this camera and this companion book highly.
 My wife will Kill me January 20, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I still like my point and shoot camera, but as I learned more about Photography I was unhappy with the camera noise generated. So I looked for something more fulfilling, and settled on the Canon 40D. Please read all the knowledgeable reviews, and see for yourself why I liked this camera. As earlier stated I am a point and shoot guy because I can slip the camera in my pocket. I got enough personal body weight to lug around, so I really didnt want a big clumsy camera hanging around my neck. This camera only weighs a pound and 1/2, I could live with that. I read all I could about this 40D, and I liked what it would allow me to do. When I decided that this was the camera for me. I was very patient and looked for coupons and deals, and finally found a price I could live with, but my wife would kill me if she knew how much I spent. The camera has lived up to all my expectations, I dont treat it like a fragile china, I purchased it to use it, and thats exactly what I do. I use the camera in all types of weather. I have not been disappointed. the camera noise I complained about with my P&S is gone. My only real problem, is now other people want me to take pictures for them. . .Rats! they never asked when I use my point and shoot. Just like a comfy pair of shoes, this camera is High Priced, but a good buy.
already impressed can't wait to actually learn how to use it!!! January 18, 2008

this is my first digital slr...i purchased without research, but coming from a family of photographers, who have used all the top names in brands...i figured i couldn't go wrong with this camera. i spoke to the sales person in regards to my needs and i finally decided on the canon 40d...i was tossing around the idea of a nikon, but the cost of the lenses and availabilty compared to the canon products helped steer me down the path to the canon 40d. i also purchased the ef 70-300mm IS USM lens which is awesome...i am extremely satisfied with the results so far. thanks to jodi for that awesome, informational review!!! will update as soon as i get to know my camera better...
40d is Amazing! January 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I upgraded from a Canon Xti and this 40d is beyond my expectations.There are several new features that I am just learning about but I love it already. I highly recommend the DVD from Jumpstart on this camera because the manual doesnt tell you everything.
