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 Easy to Use, Compact, Great Design
Cons None submitted
Recommended it? Yes

The latest as of now in the Inter Changeable lense cameras....the GF2 strikes out as one of the most compact of them all. Amongst other things the GF2 has touchscreen controls, 1920x1080 HD movie mode etc.

So how did my images turn out? Pretty good! For everyone who's naturally afraid... Read full review »
