The EOS 40D is a mid-range digital SLR cameras, making it a natural first choice for advanced amateur photographers and entry-level professionals, and an ideal second body for more established photo pros. Indeed, given the level of feature upgrades and improvements, technological wizardry, and user-requested creative controls, the Canon EOS 40D SLR's "prosumer" appellation may refer more to its accessible price point than to the exceptional quality, clarity, and resolution of the images it creates.

EOS 40D: Greatly improved 20D/30D

bytheuerkorn Sep 2, 2007
50 Helpfuls 51 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Improved sensor and AF system, faster response, large viewfinder, flash control, quieter...
Cons Some consider the changes "too little", no integrated wireless flash controller
Recommended it? Yes

One of the most anticipated dSLR cameras in 2007 is without a doubt the new EOS 40D. With the 30D being more of a refinement than upgrade of the venerable 20D, rumors went rampant on what the 40D is going to look like and when it's released. With most of those speculations being nothing more than... Read full review »

Pros Canon reputation for quality and professional features in a unit simple enough for...
Cons Heavier, larger than an entry-level SLR. Buttons can be accidently pressed in normal use.

The Canon EOS 40D is a professional-level Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera that produces very high quality 10 megapixel photos. A 10 MP photo has good... Read full review »

Canon PowerShot G12: A smartly improved G11

bytheuerkorn Nov 2, 2010
32 Helpfuls 33 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 720p video w/ stereo audio, Hybrid IS, front wheel, leveling indicator, excellent sensor...
Cons Somewhat slow AF, overall few significant changes over PowerShot G11
Recommended it? Yes

It has only been last year (2009) that Canon abandoned the MPx race and focused on picture quality in this market segment. The G11's 10 MPx stepped back from the G10's zenith of the megapixel race with 14.7 MPx in such a small sensor. While other market segment continue the mindless race, at least... Read full review »

The Canon Powershot G12 Digital Camera a great point-and-shoot

bytexas-swede Dec 26, 2010
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent picture quality, low light picture quality, HS System, Hybrid IS, HD Video,...
Cons Aperture dial is a little hard to turn, view finder very small.
Recommended it? Yes

My middle son is interested in photography and he is taking a photograph class. We could not find the old family camera (Canon Powershot S3 IS) so we needed to get a new one. The Canon Powershot S3 IS was also not entirely sufficient for the class.

For his class he needed something better... Read full review »
