 Very capable digital SLR Feb 02, 2010
I have owned the Canon 40D for more than a year, purchased from Amazon. It is a very capable DSLR with excellent image quality (I use the 24-105 L zoom). It is relatively easy to use, especially using the custom menus. The biggest improvement for my photography is due to the very quick autofocus and very rapid shutter - as fast as I can press the button, it takes a good in-focus picture. This lets me capture many shots that I couldn't get with a slower non-DSLR. Also, naturally, you can use other lenses and a longer telephoto zoom is in my plans. One drawback is the somewhat dim LCD display, which can't be used to determine critical focus after the shot because the image displayed on the LCD is not full resolution.

 Excellent DSLR, now a bargain Nov 12, 2009
There are a significant number of technical reviews on this camera so I'll be brief. This is an excellent camera. Only upgrade that it lacks & I wish it had is in camera lens correction. The camera is very fast. It easily takes 6+ frames a second. Auto focus is very fast also, even in less than perfect light. You'll be able to use for virtually all sporting events. But it also has good depth & coloration for landscapes, portraits, etc. It does only have a 12 bit color processing system but color is very good. AND don't let the ONLY 10 megapixel issue throw you. Although 10mp may seem light compared to the newer models, I believe that is one of the reasons the camera is so good at processing light. The pixels are less compressed on the sensor and really seem to pick up light much better than some of the newer camera's. And you will find that the 10mp is more than you'll need even if you like to crop your photo's several times or blow them up large enough to frame & hang on the wall.
AND the biggest plus? This camera is a bargain right now. With the new 7D & 50D out, people are unloading this model very quickly. If you want a camera to use for several years, try this one & take the money you'll save and buy a couple of very good PRIME lens. You'll get amazing results out of even marginal camera's if you use good lens. And if you match up a couple of good lens (TRY USING PRIMES, not telephoto's! Save the telephoto's for sporting events, etc!) to this camera you'll be very, very happy with the results. Fyi, I would give this camera 4.5-4.75 stars if I could. I would give it 5 if it had in camera correction (for some lens aberrations) & a 14 bit color processor. Good shooting!
CanonEOS 40D camera Nov 04, 2009
My son has the same camera so I knew what to expect. I'm just learning but so far it is much easier to handle than I thought! In short, I love it so far!!
40D is a classic Nov 03, 2009
This camera was given to me as a gift nearly two years ago and I am still thrilled with it. It replaced a 350D and I have never looked back - the larger body size, picture quality, much improved controls and all around utility make this camera a winner. A friend of mine recently picked up a 50D and I don't have the heart to tell him that I think the 40D is a better deal.
This camera was a steal when it was selling at $1300 and the lower prices make this a no brainer. If you want a C sized format, do yourself a favor and get it.

 great for outdoor Oct 29, 2009
I'm a professional photographer with my own studio and quite a few years of experience under my belt. I was looking for a third camera to have as backup/gruntuserfriendly/thirdangle. I use religiously my 5D's and the ever sturdy, ole' pal-o-mine, 20D (which I may never get rid of.) I wanted a camera that was worth it's value and easy to use. (I use this mostly for my 3rd hands that are just learning.#
I have been very impressed with the quality of photographs the 40D comes up with when doing outdoor photography. I honestly was quite surprised and cannot say enough good things about it. When it comes to indoor/low light though, #ie. no flash ceremonies), I have found it lacking. I wish it had been designed with more custom function options. Mirror lockup is a godsend.
I love canon and strongly recommend their cameras. I AM a canon girl. What's that saying? "Owning a nikon doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a nikon owner."
The 40D is a great camera! Just don't expect it to blow you a way in low light.
