 FIRST DAY OWNER . . . I'M STUNNED! Aug 19, 2008
As a long-time Canon EOS Elan IIe (film) owner, with lenses, I've waited to move to digital (till the quality and affordability met my needs / budget). I wanted to stick with Canon (yes my old AF lenses work with the 40D).
Did my research, went to my local camera store, checked my old lenses on the 40D, tried nicely to "deal" with them. They still couldn't touch Amazon's price for this kit.
In the four days (yes, only four) it took for the 40D to reach me (free shipping, incidentally), I bought and read David Busch's book dedicated to the 40D. Highly recommend it. So I was ready.
My camera arrived early this morning. Battery fully charged. I waited till later this afternoon, when the light is better, and took it shooting.
Nature stuff. Children on playgrounds. Birds. Animals. Speedboats on the river. A volleyball game. Portraits of my nephew's wife and their one-year-old daughter (no-flash shots and built-in fill-flash shots). Some with IS on, most with IS off.
Just basic stuff to see what the Basic Modes did on default. Looked at some histograms as I shot, but didn't make any adjustments. (Now that I've looked at the defaults, I will start tweaking the settings for my own preferences.)
Over 300 shots, in JPEG Fine only. No RAW (yet.)
Got home, plugged the CF card into the reader (both from Adorama, though after the fact I realized I could have gotten a slightly better deal from Amazon).
Using FastStone's free Image Viewer (which I wanted to try), I started sorting through my shots, comparing them side by side, tagging those I wanted to delete, batch renaming the ones I kept, etc.
I must have examined my first shot for five minutes, minutely examining the details. Stunned! STUNNED! At HUGE magnifications!
With every shot, I just kept shaking my head in amazement. Virtually FLAWLESS exposure! (One or two had slight clipping in highlights (on the histograms), yet still with incredible detail. One or two were slightly soft on the subject's focus (my fault). Incredible color!
Continuous bursts on the volleyball players and the speedboats and the bikers on bike trails were jaw-dropping! PERFECT focus! PERFECT exposure! At 6.5 fps! (Unheard of, even just a few years ago, at this price point.)
I'm fluent in Photoshop, but prefer to get it right the first time, in the camera.
I've yet to scratch the surface of the 40D's capabilities. Can't wait to get into the "Creative Modes" tomorrow. And then move on to "Custom Modes," etc.
I'm a semi-pro. Got my first SLR when I was 15. I'm 64. I've had 'em all, and loved 'em all.
But I haven't been so immediately impressed, FLOORED actually, by a camera system in my life.
Particularly at this price point, the 40D system is a remarkable achievement.
Outstanding Colours! Aug 18, 2008
After upgrading from the 350D I am truly impressed. I recently shot a wedding with the 40D and I was ecstatic with the results! The richness in colour is simply amazing. I do not regret this purchase. Two thumbs up for the 40D!

Canon EOS 40D Aug 17, 2008
This is an upgrade from the EOS Rebel XT. I am very pleased with the quality and features in the 40D. Image quality is top notch. I had considered the Nikon 300D, but it's additional features are not worth a cost of 50% more.

I got the best! Aug 16, 2008
I was looking into the Canon Rebel Xsi and came close to buying it when a friend asked, "Have you looked at the 40D?" It was out of my price range, but after testing it in a few shops, I loved how it felt in my hands. I agree with other enthusiasts that the Rebels are too lightweight, and I'm a big guy so I need something sturdy to keep up with me. Had I held the Rebel during beach shoots, I would've been a little overprotective of it, feeling it would drop at any moment (even with the strap). Not the case with the 40D.
I love the 6.5 fps. It captures incredible images. The colors are vivid and professional-looking. Much better than my Canon A620 point-and-shoot. I've moved up to a camera I respect, and the price difference is justified. I love what it does, but more importantly, I love the anticipation of what it will do once I master it.

Worth every penny Aug 15, 2008
I just received my Canon EOS 40D with the 28-135mm lens kit (Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens) yesterday and haven't been able to put it down since. I contemplated going for either the Nikon D300 or the Canon EOS 40D for portrait work and am in no way regretful. I also ordered the Battery grip. All I can say is... FINALLY!! First of all it is pretty hefty (Not heavy) but is definitely has the 'Professional' feel to the body even without the lens. I added the 28-135mm lens and battery grip and this camera screams 'Hey everyone I'm really serious about photography.' I have absolutely no gripes about this camera. I have used the Canon Rebel XT in the past and this camera is in a league of its own. If you're in-between in your decision, don't be. Just get the camera and you won't be sorry. I know I'm not.
