 Incompatible RAW format December 29, 2007
11 out of 93 found this review helpful
Apparently Canon and Adobe aren't speaking to each other. The Canon RAW formats on the 40D (there are two) are both different than the RAW format the 30D and 20D cameras create. Adobe's Creative Suite CS2, which includes Photoshop, can't read the 40D RAW formats.
The whole idea behind the RAW format is to create an archival "negative."
Canon appears to be running off the track and needs to show some concern for its customers. More importantly, it should be leading the way on the issue of a universal digital negative format that will make long term photo storage and retrieval possible.
 Great, Great Camera!!! December 28, 2007

For once I was glad that I procrastinated on the purchase of a Canon SRL camera.
A couple of years ago I was going to purchase the 20D, then the 30D, but time past by and this great camera came along... Definitely worth the wait!
Great piece of art.
 Canon 40D from Rebel December 27, 2007

Love the viewer and fast start and quick next shot speed. But it is HEAVY! Like old film camera. But then, you know you are holding a real piece of equipment.
 Canon 40D December 26, 2007

This camera replaced my old 20D and is an improvement particularly in the menu display. Although it also has a 3 inches LCD monitor, the images when displayed and not clear enough to determine sharpness and when one zooms in to increase detail, still is not possible to determine sharpness. The Nikon D200 and the Sony A700 have quite superior LCD monitors, particularly the later.
The autofocus although claimed improved by the manufacturer, is not better than the one in the 20D.
Mirror Lock Up Comment December 25, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just wanted to address the reviews about the mirror lock up not having a quick button. I have found that using the custom settings (C1-C3), you can create your settings to include the mirror lock up and I have also set the drive on the timer mode for the custom with the mirror lock up. To save these in the custom functions, make the settings on the camera you would like (mirror lock up, ISO, Drive Mode, Picture Style, etc) -> Go to Camera Settings -> Register -> Choose C1, C2 or C3 -> Select OK.
In addition to that you can also customize the "My Menu Settings" and place the mirror lock up on that screen so that you do not have to go through multiple menus to find that specific function.
I have found this to be a fantastic camera and agree with other reviews on the pros and wanted to address the mirror lock up comments if it helps in the evaluation of this camera.
I have upgraded from the Canon Rebel XT to the 40D and also have the Canon Elan 7e and EOS 1N.
