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 ...

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. There ...

I Compare Canon 40D with 400D.
You get another feeling folding the 40D its gives you Confidence.grip is very good, compared to Canon 400D. And with the 40D you get sharper pictures and a wider field of vision.
This camera is good if you take alot of sportpictures. Batteris on the 40D is good enough, you can fill a 2GB card with .jpg photos without charging the battery. I think that the price is to low for this kind of camera. This is really a powerfull camera with almost everything you need to get does professional photos. Canon has really worked hard on 40D compared to the 400D almost everything is improved. And i can say that this is really an exelent camera for professionals and new begginers.

Advantages: Build quality,features,price Disadvantages: Needs at least a 1Mb memory card,size of instruction book
I have now owned my Canon 40D for just over a week and I'm still finding my way round the features,comparing it to my previous camera,(Canon 10D)is like comparing a a carthorse and a racehorse.
10.1 megapixels,a 3inch screen and 6.5 frames per second shooting all combine to make this the best digital camera I've ever owned,(and I've owned a few,mostly compacts)
Shooting at 6.5 frames per second for the first time is an awesome experience,it made ...

Advantages: Great professional camera fast 6.5 frames per second Disadvantages: Costly with diffrent lenses.
...I decided on a Canon 40D and was not dissapointed. The picture quality is excellent and with a very large range of lenses and users to share their experience and knowledge it has become a great tool for me. The software that comes with this camera is very advanced and allows you to edit Raw images and even have a live view of what you are shooting on your computer screen with on screen camera controls. This was great for someone like me who really ...

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 there's a lot that makes this an even better camera. Of course we expect a step up in megapixels, and so the 40D comes with a ten million pixel CMOS sensor with the same sort of dust reduction as the EOS 400D, an ultrasonic platform which shakes the low pass filter. Other improvements bring the EOS 40D closer into line with the EOS-1D series, these include a move to the same page-by-page menu system, both RAW and sRAW (2.5 MP), 14-bit A/D converter and 14-bit RAW, cross-type AF points for F5.6 or faster lenses, a larger and brighter viewfinder, interchangeable focusing screens, a larger LCD monitor (3.0")

Advantages: Top quality, fast in use, reliable Disadvantages: Heavy for some.
...to every expectation. The Canon 40D replaced my 400D and is so much better in every respect apart from the additional weight! Personally I don't mind the weight as I know it will deliver the quality images I want and the weight adds a certain stability and balance to picture-taking. I use the Canon 17-85mm ef-s zoom lens which suits me (and my pocket) really well.
The many and various options provided in this substantial camera take some learning ...
