Digital camera reviews of Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Digital camera Review: 40D is simply awesome!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If your looking for a fast camera that has excellent image quality, this camera is for you! 6.5 frames p/second is excellent for sports and any other fast action. It is a very well constructed camera that will last for years. One of the most useful features that I use a lot is the ability to access the menus of the 580EX II through the camera's menus! A lot of the features you see on the Mark III are incorporated in the 40D, such as the ability to work with the 580EX II to determine the proper white balance, set the flash's settings on the 40D menu in stead of having to change them on the flash, and the menu layout itself. I really enjoy this camera and have a lot of fun with it, and I know you will too!!Digital camera Review: 40D is terrific
Summary: 5 Stars
Canon has really done it - the 40D is fast on autofocus, and Live View suits my needs (classroom camera demos and macro shooting) perfectly. Many other tiny improvements add up to an easier and better camera to use. I highly recommend it - especially for the price. It's cheaper than my 20D was!!Digital camera Review: 40D upgrade from the 30D
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this camera. I decided to upgrade the 30D after waiting for a while. The cleaner high ISO images from the DIGIC III processor and the Live View were the two main selling points. I love low light flash free photography. This body meets those demands in ACES.
Build (much like the 30D) is solid with a few physical refinements and improvements. It makes a great second body for my 1D MarkII that is a well tested workhorse.
Much quieter than the 30D (and the MarkII). All those familiar controls that make photography a smooth process (I'm sure Nikonians feel the same about their cameras). Improved sensor density, custom functions and 3" LCD for review are big pluses.
In keeping with all of my delayed decisions to upgrade in the past, Canon followed suite just weeks after my purchase by announcing the release of the 15MP DIGIC IV Canon 50D. I would guess this will drop the price of the 40D even more but I have no remorse. This is a super camera!
Digital camera Review: 40D viewfinder and LEICA lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I would like to share my experience about the advantage of using 40D with LEICA R lens. I compare the viewfinder of 40D, 400D and 5D at CANON showroom. The brightness, contrast and magnification factor are better than that of CANON 400D camera. I am surprised at the fact that contrast of 40D viewfinder is higher than 5D, which is very important for focusing manually. Using the standard viewfinder screen of 40D, I am able to focus successfully with a LEICA 90mm f2 lens. I focus with aperture setting at f5.6 without openning up f2.Digital camera Review: 40D vs 30D
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a 30D and bought the 40D as a 2nd Camera. I like the 40D in terms of color and quality. The thing I do not like about it is that you cannot change the ISO in P/TV/AV mode like on the 30D. It does have great stability when shooting close-up items. I get good clarity. The colors are more vibrant. It seems like Canon was trying to make it think more for you. I prefer to set my own settings in other modes than in M. I do have to fudge with the exposure more in low light situations. Overall, I like it, but would consider a better upgrade in the future.
