Digital camera reviews of Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Digital camera Review: dissatisfied
Summary: 1 Stars
I've paid the full price for a new camera, instead, the file numbering shows that's been used a lot before it got to me. I am dissatisfied in the way that the camera works, but I can't return it because I moved to Europe a week after bying it.Digital camera Review: Excellent choice for Digital SLR
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research on digital SLRs before my purchase. Based on those findings, I chose the Canon EOS 40D. So far it has performed as advertised and the photos are very good to excellent even in the "point-n-shoot" mode. I would definitely recommend this camera to my family and friends.Digital camera Review: novice photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
I read many reviews on amazon before purchasing this camera and its one of the best purchases I've ever made. I know very little about cameras but have learned a fair amount just reading about the functionality this camera offers. My wife and I went on a safari and peopled raved about our pictures. You will not be disappointed with this camera. Digital camera Review: Great for first time dSLR'er.
Summary: 5 Stars
There is not much that I can say about this camera that hasn't already been said by others here on Amazon. What I will add is some personal perspective.
I have been using point and shoot digital cameras for years. I bought an S2 IS three years ago because I wanted a nice digital without spending dSLR money. That camera served me well, but after three years it has started to limit my creativity. After much research, including the reviews by others here on Amazon, I decided to go with the EOS 40D.
For me there was a toss-up between the XSi and the 40D, but what pushed me in the 40D direction was ultimately the size of the camera. I'm a big guy. When I held an XSi in my hands it just felt too small. The 40D felt just right in my hands. Another motivating factor was the kit lens. The EF 18-135 is far better than that which comes with the XSI.
After spending a week with the camera, I can say that I am fully satisfied. It takes great pictures and allows me a large degree of creativity. With the camera I ordered a guidebook that is helping a lot. As for the pictures, they have very little noise. As I take more and more pictures in the different modes, I am able to take better and better shots.
One important thing to mention for those upgrading from P&S is that RAW is amazing. I typically have better unfinished results with RAW than I ever do with jpg. After some finishing, they are unparalleled. I can't wait until I get some more experience. I already have people telling me they're willing to pay me for my shots.
Digital camera Review: worth the money
Summary: 5 Stars
a camera with lots of possibilities, robust and excellent picture quality- for a reasonable price.
