EOS 40D: Greatly improved 20D/30D

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: No matter what heated blogs suggest, the 40D is a solid choice for enthusiasts at a good price.
Review: One of the most anticipated dSLR cameras in 2007 is without a doubt the new EOS 40D. With the 30D being more of a refinement than upgrade of the venerable 20D, rumors went rampant on what the 40D is going to look like and when it's released. With...

Professional Capabilities that an Amatuer can Appreciate

Date of Review:  Oct 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Simple enough for an amateur, powerful enough for a professional: this camera will satisfy anyone.
Review: This review is intended to help an amateur evaluate the 40D to decide whether or not to step up to this professional-level camera.

The Canon EOS 40D is a professional-level Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera that produces very high...

The lenses make it better

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: While the body doesn't surpass other offerings, when paired with Canon's legendary lenses, this body all of a sudden gives the competition a run for their money.
Review: I don’t always do things in the right order, and don’t always follow the typical pattern. My entry into the DSLR market is an example of just that. I purchased the Canon 40D after several years of using a point and shoot Sony F828. While the Sony...

Canon EOS 40D vs Canon EOS 50D (actual user report) :-)

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: The quality of the pictures made me keep the Canon EOS 40D.

I’ll leave all camera body details and the list of features for the magazines and get right to the question: Which camera should I get?

All the camera any amateur could need

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: The camera's performance is five star.  If image quality is important to you, this is your camera.

If you want the freshest features, or need more than 10 MP, keep looking.
Review: This body is tough, but not weatherproof.  Its heavy, in a confidence-inspiring way.  And it makes GORGEOUS images.  Its not the newest in Canon's prosumer DSLR lineup, so its more suited to the serious amateur looking for value, not the gear hound...

Fantastic Entry Level and Above DSLR

Date of Review:  Oct 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Impressive and easy to use DSLR camera, with a lot of new useful features over previous models.
Review: I would consider myself a semi-pro when it comes to photography. I've spent the last three years using the 5D and have finally worked up enough business, to where it's time that I purchase a backup camera. The 40D is an obvious choice. I had...

Amazing Camera

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2008
Review: I've had this camera for about 6 months and I am very happy with it. It is my first digital slr. I've coupled it with two high end Canon E lenses and the results are impressive.

I recommend that you buy the separate canon flash for bounce...

Excellent Camera

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2008
Review: The Canon 40D is my first digital SLR camera. I have had it for 2 months. I upgraded from the Lumix DMC-FZ7 as my interest in photography escalated and I wanted more out of a camera. I love this camera. The photos look professional. It focuses...

the best bang for buck

Date of Review:  Sep 3, 2009
Review: This is an advanced (semi-pro) body camera.
The response is great (huge improvement over the rebel or any other entry level slr), large view finder (brighter than the D300), snappy auto focus. Very clean images at 400iso, 800iso also good for...

Nice camera for pro-consumer

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2009
Review: It's a nice upgrade from my old 20D. The bigger screen is great for all those "chimping" moments. High ISO is clean and I'm not afraid to go pass 1600 now with minimal noise. AF is also an upgrade from the 20D. Overall, it's a very nice, sturdy,...
