For elite photographers who accept nothing but the best, the Canon EOS 40D is head and shoulders above competing SLRs in its class. This kit even includes a 28-135mm lens as a packaged deal. Outstanding, 10.1 megapixel detail is captured to the CMOS sensor then processed by the DIGIC III Image Processor. Canon’s large-area CMOS sensor enables stunningly clear photographs with a wide tonal range. A durable, rugged magnesium-alloy exterior makes the EOS 40D a great choice for active field work. Supporting a wide range of accessories including interchangeable lenses, remote controls, and even a wireless file transmitter, the EOS 40D is a step ahead of Canon’s previous SLR models in terms of technology and performance.

EOS 40D Kit: The lens makes it a bargain.

bytheuerkorn Sep 3, 2007

Pros Excellent price, good lens with image stabilization, great for those new to the EOS line
Cons Lens does not utilize full sensor resolution, lens a bit slow, no true wide angle
Recommended it? Yes

Officially released on August 20th, and finally in select stores on the 30th (i.e. Ritz Cameras etc.), the 40D made waves way before official specs were released. In fact, the rumor mill started as early as one year ago and went rampant for nearly the whole time. With such hype, it comes at no... Read full review »

Pros Quality of images,new features like 6.5 fps
Cons none

I'm fortunate to make my living in photography. At the same time,I'm almost unfortunate in the fact that I feel compelled to
dole out big bucks every time my brand of choice,Canon releases a new model camera or lens.

I recently bought the Canon EOS 5D,their full frame sensor camera... Read full review »

Pros Excellent-looking photos, build quality, compact and light for SLR, resolution, HD movie...
Cons Price, 1080p at only 20 fps
Recommended it? Yes

Technology is a great thing. Whether deflation is here is a subject of debate among economists. If properly defined as a contraction of money supply and credit, then it is. But regardless of this, digital cameras definitely provide ever increasing amounts of features and performance for the... Read full review »
