📷 Enhanced Canon EOS 40D 10.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) Review

I really have nothing more to add to the already excellent reviews. To reiterate what almost everyone says - this is a great camera. In fact, I don't think you could buy another one in the sub-$1,000 range. I've read three or four leading photo magazines and ezines and they all rave about this boy. And I have to say that I agree. I use my old Canon AE-1 for fun, which I started at school in the late 80's. This camera ended up breaking a few years ago and I gave it to someone who could fix it…

I wanted to buy a digital SLR. Many years ago I bought a Canon A-1 SLR camera. I was very happy with it, but now it's outdated and you won't even find suitable lenses. Long out of production. I chose Canon. I first looked at the Digital Rebel XTi. Canon then released an update for the 30d. I've seen numerous rave reviews about the 40d. Revain had a camera with a 28-135 3.5-5.6 IS USM kit lens. I decided to upgrade my choice and bought this camera. I have no regrets about my choice. I'm a…

As a longtime owner of a Canon EOS Elan IIe (film) with lenses, I was excited to go digital (until the quality and affordability met my needs/budget). I wanted to stick with Canon (yes, my old AF lenses work with the 40D). I did some research, went to the local camera shop, tested my old lenses on the 40D, tried to "handle" them. They could never match the Revain price for this kit. It took four days (yes, four total) for the 40D to get to me (shipping is free btw) and I bought and read David…

I've been using a Canon 40D for two years. This is my second camera (first pentax k100 camera). It's big, strong and tough. I found the Pentax K100d to be quite large, but that's nothing compared to this 40D. The handle is very ergonomic. I feel safe dealing with him. Body and Handling The build quality of the Canon 40D is excellent. It consists of a magnesium alloy body. It is also a weather seal. It's made to withstand a lot of abuse. I dropped the camera on the floor once and it still works…

Digital SLR cameras are trending and it seems like new ones (and no doubt improved ones) are appearing every day. Despite all the choices, the same principles of camera buying remain valid. Buy the best camera you can afford that will give you the best pictures you can be proud of. I have a long history of cameras; I started with all Olympus OM-1 and Bronica ETRSi (medium format) handheld cameras before finally switching to autofocus. With this move, I switched to Canon's EOS system because of…
