 Great Camera November 20, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have had the Canon D50 and the 20D. Both of these were great cameras, but the 40D is a major step up! The camera is well built, full-featured and quiet. Love the larger screen and bright viewfinder. I highly recommend this camera! Works great with my 10-22mm, F1.4 50mm, F2.8 70-200mm IS L and my 24-105nn L lenses.
200% improvement over rebel xti(which I own) November 16, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
the "Live view shooting" feature is every reason why I bought it withing my budget. Using my rebel xti after 300+ shots through the viewfinder in one day, my eyes can no longer focus because I cannot shoot with glasses. This feature together with the ability to set the ISO in 1/3 increments (among others which I have not used) should help improve the pics that I take for my entry level wedding, etc. photography venture. I love this camera just for these features mainly.
Pleased! November 15, 2007

I absolutely love this camera. My only lens at the moment is a Tamron 18-250mmm ... BTW an EXCELLENT lens. Pics are as sharp as they say, and I like the program that comes with it.
My only complaint is a lack of an HD output for hooking it right to my HDTV.
January 2008 - Added a Sigma 170 - 500 zoom, and my love for this camera (and my lenses) grows. Spectacular sunset pics in Mexico ... next stop is Egypt, but the ultimate tests will my jungle/island trip this summer.
Tripod needed for use with the long lenses.
Amateur Sports Photog--Thumbs Way UP November 13, 2007

Just bought the 40D w/ the 28-135 IS Canon lens from Circ City, about $1400. I've used the Rebel 35mm before this, and have been using pocket digital for 4 years. Tired losing all sports images of my kids' incredible plays, I decided buy the Canon 40d.
I used it for 2 games so far--one soccer, one football. I kept the mode in the sports (little guy running icon on the rotary) mode. I used it in cloudy conditions on day 1, bright sun on day 2. Excellent results of absolutely stunning photos of the kids in action. The image stab combined w/ extremely frames per second yeilds frozen shots that are amazing: eg: 6.5 FPS will allow you to push the button down about a second before a football punting situation, hold it down through the action, and have 6-12 photos of just before the kick w/ his leg 6 inches from striking the ball, then next will be his foot actually touching the ball, then the ball in the air away from his foot w/ the kicker in the air off two feet--flying if you will. Great stuff, the kids love seeing themselves frozen in the air. So, yes, this camera is fast and it makes a difference being 6.5 frames per second vs 3.5, in my opinion. Just buy at least 2MB memory (gives 400 shots w/ max resolution, but at 10/event, you could burn through it in one game, believe me), I'd say the 4MB would be better.
I just have been popping the memory card out and reading the photos directly into my computer, seems the easiest way to edit, plus doesn't run down the battery. Battery has been good, hasn't run out yet on either day, though I didn't use the flash much. Image Stab didn't take too bad of toll on it.
The camera does many more amazing things, right now I'm looking into aerial photography. Will update results, though I may need a stronger zoom. Very happy so far, sports shots well worth it, and I basically have no clue what I'm doing.
Canon 40D A+ November 12, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am a serious amateur photogapher & I love this camara. The ISO is amazing. Very noise free, good prints in lowlight up to ISO400. In daylight up to ISO800! 1600 a little noisy but still very useable especially with provided software post processing. Autofocus with Canon lenses has been spot on. Love the 3" LCD. Highly recommend for any one looking for a 1.6x crop DSLR.
