Canon EOS 40D DSLR digital camera

By Doug Harman

Handling, image quality, ease of use, dust removal system/prevention, AF, great colour performance, low noise, Good software package

Crowded buttons, fiddly button/dial combinations, metering foibles

While it looks very similar, the new model has a host of new features that make it a significant advance over the predecessor

In other words, the 40D is as bang up to date as you'll get in Canon's Prosumer range of DSLRs. The EOS 40D arrives with all the latest high-tech gadgetry tick boxes suitably ticked: Live view? The evaluative metering system on the 40D seems...

Canon EOS 40D Review

Award: Highly Recommended!

The Canon EOS 40D is the newest addition to Canon's extensive range of digital SLR cameras. Canon splits its DSLRs into three separate ranges, identified by the number of digits in the model name. The EOS 400D is the â??amateurâ?? model, the EOS 1D ...

Many people imagine that a better camera will help you take better pictures. Thatâ-'s not quite true. In fact, a better camera simply helps you take pictures betterâ-¦ In other words, the picture quality is decided by the photographer, not the camera. ...

Canon EOS 40D Camera Review

By 411Team Specialist

Canon is known as one of the best digital camera brands out there on the market today. Nikon is the only other company that can even compete with this behemoth, and that competition just got a little more heated with Canon's new release. The Canon EOS ...

The 40D is a great camera if you are looking for something in the semipro photographer range. It has all of the necessary features, and even a few extra features that it didn't even need. The Live View function will come in handy every once in a while ...

Canon EOS 40D! Hands-on! : Akihabara News .com

By Daimaou

One week with the Canon EOS 40D, there aren't many people who wouldn't like that! As we previously had the pleasure of reviewing the 1D Mark III…

The style, Image quality in ISO 1600., Live View., Very quick Auto Focus., Settings possibilities,, ??? and more.

I don't want to give it back!, No AF in LiveView., Buttons under the screen are too sensitive.

The EOS 40D is the perfect solution for those who dreamed of a 1D Mark III but couldn't afford it. It can also be used as an excellent secondary solution for professional photographers. It's impressive to see all the things that Canon managed to put ...

Canon EOS 40D

By Phil Askey

Award: Highly Recommended!

The EOS 40D becomes the sixth Canon 'prosumer' digital SLR, a line which started back in 2000 with the EOS D30, and how far we've come. It's been eighteen months since the EOS 30D and although on the surface the 40D looks like a fairly subtle upgrade ...

Excellent resolution, lots of detail, not a leap from eight megapixels, but certainly from six, Good color with selectable PictureStyles for different subject types, Good dynamic range (more than peers) with soft roll-off of highlights, 'Integrated ...

Kit lens disappointing, better to buy body only and spend more on a good lens, Sporadic continuous shooting once buffer is full, Occasional under-exposure issue with Evaluative metering, Average automatic white balance performance, still very poor ...

Canon changed the entire digital camera market when they revealed the EOS 300D.
