The SLR Camera of the FUTURE!!!
Review of Canon EOS 40D by Mr.Freeman

Advantages: Everything, it's perfection in its most perfect form.
Disadvantages: If you drop, you pay the price!

...miracle in SLR technology. The Canon EOS focuses back to the 'old school' photographers world and can help even an amateur into a new dimension of imagery. Memory storage is not a problem with a fully accessible and easy to use flash space. Weighing less than a kg, the camera can be carried with minimal effort to any location (be it jungle to skyscraper). A fully adjustable shutter speed can help you capture those city lights to moving people. ... Read review

Canon EOS 400D
Review of Canon EOS 400D by montmorillonite

Advantages: Low cost entry to Digital SLR photography. Compatible with all Canon Ef and Ef-s lenses
Disadvantages: Manual exposure fiddly, Kit lens good for cost, but not high-quality

Review EOS 400d The canon 400D is a good camera - for the price it's a great camera. It's relatively compact; lightweight; comes with an adequate lens; has programmed settings for novices - like portrait and landscape modes; but also offers manual control of apertures, shutter speeds, white balance, ISO… so that the more experienced photographers can have fun and be a little more creative. One item to note if you are upgrading from a digital compact ...
...on newer, or more sophisticated Canon bodies, as your skill increases. If you have around £400 to spend on a digital SLR this is certainly one to consider. With this camera and a quality lens you should be able to produce images up to A3 size. For the price and for a first SLR I highly recommend it. ... Read review

40d is it worth the upgrade?
Review of Canon EOS 400D by jake169

Advantages: 3" screen, live view!!!, intergrated sensor cleaning
Disadvantages: low lcd resolution

Probably the best digital slr for the experienced user on the market. The only two things that are seperated from this camera from the 5D and 1 series cameras is a full frame sensor as well as more megapixels. The last camera made previous to this was the 30D. Lots of changes have been changed since that including a higher mega pixel count, a 3inch LCD screen, intergrated sensor cleaning, custom shooting modes and the most significant upgrade is ...
...with its new live view sensor. With all the new technology in the camera, you would expect it to be challenging to use. However a new style menu system as well as the camera settings being constantly shown at the bottom of the view finder as well as the lcd panel, makes it a very easy camera to use. Wether your just an amateur Photographer experimenting with the basic zones or an experienced user experimenting withe the creative zones. This camera ... Read review

My view on the 40d
Review of Canon EOS 400D by jake169

Advantages: 3" screen, 10.1 megapixels, Live view, Integrated cleaning system
Disadvantages: Low screen resolution, could have a couple more megapixels

A really great "pro-sumer" camera
Review of Canon EOS 400D by graeme10

Advantages: Extremely detailed images, ergonomic design layout, huge screen
Disadvantages: May feel heavy to some - no other minus points discovered yet

The 40D is the third Canon DSLR that I've owned (the others being the 300D and 350D) and is by far the best of the three. This, mind you, is not particularly surprising since it's aimed at the semi-professional ("pro-sumer") who wants a robust camera with plenty of bells and whistles, but will also appeal to the interested amateur who desires something more than a simple "point and shoot". When unveiled, the 40D retailed at anywhere between £800 ...
...only - I have various Canon lenses already) to £700. For the build quality alone this was a fair price - taking the images you get with this camera into consideration it's a bargain. Compared with the light-weight plastic "consumer" 300D and 350Ds, this new body could well give you an initial shock due to it's increased size and weight. The two-piece magnesium shell seems to be fairly similar to the earlier 30D but with some of the buttons moved ... Read review
