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
49 Helpfuls 50 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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
Recommended it? Yes

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 »

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

byaloofyouth Dec 19, 2011
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best bang for the buck DSLR camera in its price/size bracket
Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
Recommended it? Yes

My user experiences are marked in italics.

The Nikon D5100 is a DSLR camera ("digital single lens reflex" so what you see through the optical viewfinder or on the LCD screen is what you get in the photo; you are literally seeing through the lens, so there is no parallax error). I bought it... Read full review »
