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.

Compact, robuste et riche en fonctionnalités, le DSC-WX1 propose un capteur CMOS ExmorR de 10,2 mégapixels. Celui-ci offre une probante réception de la lumière, pour une image irréprochable, même dans les endroits sombres. De plus, le processeur BIONZ du DSCWX1, épaulé par un réducteur de bruit numérique Clear RAW NR, empêche l'obscurité de gâcher vos meilleurs clichés. Des détecteurs de sourire et de visages avec suivi garantissent par ailleurs des portraits réussis. Le balayage panoramique saisit, lui, une série d'images à la volée pour les recombiner en une très large et restituer des paysages à couper le souffle. Le DSC-WX1 bénéficie en outre d'un stabilisateur optique qui contribue à réduire le flou. Ainsi, son optique Sony G avec zoom 20-120 mm (équivalent 24x36) donne un maximum de précision dans les circonstances les plus improbables. Enfin, il vous permet de profiter de modes vidéo et diaporama, pour partager vos images aussi bien sur téléviseur que sur papier. Less

EOS 40D: Greatly improved 20D/30D

bytheuerkorn Sep 2, 2007

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 Sturdy, good flash, good video, easy to use!
Cons Shutter lag.
Recommended it? Yes

I own this camera and the older version and have REALLY enjoyed both. This camera has a ton of options and is easy to figure out. The flash works great, pictures turn out well, the video works well, the battery lasts long. I tend to drop it a lot, so it has scratches, but not only... Read full review »

Pros Easy to Use, Excellent Picture Quality, Lightweight
Cons Short Battery Life, Shutter Lag
Recommended it? Yes

This camera is great for the price. It has easy features to learn and it lightweight enough to fit in your jeans pocket. We have owned this camera for about a year now and really like it. We use it on trips and just when an occassion pops up at home. A great camera to buy. Read full review »
