 Great buy, worth every penny September 25, 2008
Many other reviews cover this product more in depth, so I will bullet point it
Pros
6.5 frames per second, great for sports
Improved color for vibrant pictures
Noise reduction is incredible, noise at 1600 not noticeable
Big Screen, easy to preview shots
10mp for poster quality prints
Ergonomic, big and fits comfortable in hand
Lightweight, doesn't tire out your hand after a long day of shooting
Cons:
Size C image sensor (1.6 crop factor)
Autofocus a little less accurate than the D1 for obvious reasons
Great DSLR!!! Canon does it again! September 20, 2008
Anyone looking for a decently priced semi-pro digital single lense reflex camera, look no more. It's fast ( 6.5 fps ), self cleaning and just downright feels more expensive than it is. I also have a 20D, which is a great camera, but wanted to have a spare because of the number of lenses I now possess (10-22mm, 17-70mm and 70-300mm). Yes, the 50D is coming out now, but unless you are blowing up your pix extremely large, there is no need for anything more than this one. I think the Nikon product is lovely, but not worth the extra $$$ for both body and lenses, when you see the quality of your photos from this SLR.
 5 stars for the body, 3 stars for the lens September 20, 2008

I've had this combo for about three months and have almost 7,000 captures. The body is fantastic! I love the features, ease of use and quality. The kit lens, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired. After less than three weeks use there was a huge chunk (not a speck) of debris on the inside of the front lens element. The build quality is less than acceptable even by my standards - there is too much play in the front element when fully extended and when hanging from a neck strap the lens always extends all the way leaving it more susceptible to damage. If I were to do it again, I would save the money to invest in a prime or L lens.
Fantastic camera. Buy it! September 20, 2008

Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
We replaced our Canon 10D with the 40D which was stated to advance the state-of-the-art for mid-range digital SLR cameras. It does that in spades with a newly enhanced 10.1 megapixel inaging sensor offering a fast 6.5 frame per second autofocus continuous shooting capability.
We primarily use this camera for wildlife photography, utilizing some action shots, and the speed sensitivity for this is fantastic.
A larger 3.0 inch LCD screen increases viewing ease, especially important in wildlife photography. Raised brightness levels allow for viewing ease under bright sunlight conditions. Also the larger font size for viewer window text is helpful. The upgraded viewfinder expands the viewing angle to 264 degrees and raises the eye point to 22mm.
The 40D comes with a durable case (black or magnesium alloy) and weather-resistant construction. With a 14 bit Analog-to-Digital conversion process, the 40D is able to recognize 16,384 colors per channel, resulting in more accurate gradations of tone and color. It also offers two interchangeable focusing screens, unlike its predecessors and its autofocus offers enhanced precision at f2.8 or faster.
Comes with an eyecup, wide neck strap, video cable, USB interface cable, battery pack, battery charger, EOS Digital Solution disc, software and a couple of photography and macro booklets.
Add the wide-angle lens of your choice and you're set to go.
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.
