Editorial Review:
Canon presents the EOS 40D, a high-tech reflex camera designed for both experienced and amateur photographers. The EOS 40D contains all the attributes of its predecessor, the EOS 30D, but has improved performances, including features such as the 10.1 effective megapixel CMOS sensor and larger 3? screen with direct aim function. Inside its sturdy, all-weather magnesium alloy casing, the EOS 40D packs a wide range of technologies to ensure excellent results in all situations. The EOS 40D offers 9 cross-type AF points and a Canon DIGIC III processor to adapt to all your shots, so your photos turn out bright and clear and in perfect detail. Meanwhile, the EOS 40D will reduce backlighting, reflections and shadows. This reflex camera is low on noise and offers a burst mode at a rate of 6.5 images per second. Thanks to the wide range of shooting modes, including night portrait, depth, speed or open priority, the creative possibilities are endless! The EOS 40D even offers Pictbridge connectivity and WiFi technology for wireless file transfer and direct printing (WiFi adapter optional). This Canon camera comes with an EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM lens, which is suitable for all photos, and an optical zoom of 5x, so you can get the most out of your digital camera. Compatible with Canon EF and EF-S lenses, and with Speedlite EX flashes, the EOS 40D lets you take digital photos of a professional calibre!

DM - I love my new EOS 40D Was toying between the new 450D and the 40D for quite a while. After using a 450D which is a great camera I decided to pay the extra and go for the 40D. The 40D in my opinion has a few significant advantages over the 450D. The 40D has a magnesium alloy frame making in very robust. It is much bigger and for me just seemed to be better in the hand (and around the neck). The 40D can shoot over 6 frames a second. Doing this is almost like firing off an M16! Perhaps the most important factor was the picture... more info
Excellent package As a confirmed Canon fan, having previously owned the 350D, I would thoroughly recommend the 40D. The 350D was a great camera and I considered buying both a 450D and a 30D before opting for the 40D. While the 450D has many of the features in common with the 40D the extra size and "feel" of the 40D make it far more comfortable in my large hands. The camera is a pleasure to use and I found the controls and menu system straightforward and intuitive. I debated whether to buy "body only" but the image stabilised... more info
its the best!!! I've owned a 350d for about 2 years now, great camera but i just fancied a change. After loads of research and visits to my locaL camera store i decided on the 40D, this camera is A1 in all departments, you will not find a better camera in Quality and features that actually work for the money anywhere. I already own a Sigma DG 28-300 Lense (not the best of lenses, but its half decent) on my 350D results were good, but when this was twined with my 40D it's a gem, the pictures are much sharper and vibrant.
