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 »

Canon SX230 marginal benefits for $

byceztom2 Jul 25, 2011
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Bigger, heavier than SD790, due to zoom probably, but will fit in pocket
Cons Auto exposure, dynamic range, battery life, ergonomics, screen size, touchy playback dial
Recommended it? No

I am not that impressed with the Canon SX230 yet, after a month or so of use (2500+ photos). The stitching help feature is not that useful as it uses an extremely small part of the screen to work with, put at least locks the exposure for all the shots.

The movie mode at 1080p seems to work... Read full review »

Strong performer, for photos with a few flaws

Pros GPS ability, great zoom, excellent photo quality
Cons Slow GPS signal, Bad battery life
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this Canon SX230 HS to replace an older powershot camera. I got it for 2 main reasons. I wanted to use it in situations where I did not have my DSLR, and also wanted to take advantage of the build in GPS so I could geo-tag my photos. The Canon SX230HS takes some great photos, particularly... Read full review »
