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 yet capable, the DSCWX9 digital camera caters to those who like to snap pictures on the go. The 16.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor captures detailed images even in low light. A high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with 5x optical zoom gets closer to the action, and the wider angle is great for group shots. Shoot video in 1080i for the ultimate recording power. And best of all, this little beauty is small enough to slip in your pocket. Less

EOS 40D: Greatly improved 20D/30D

bytheuerkorn Sep 2, 2007

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 »

Santa, err... my stepson purchased this small bundle of technological joy for my wife for the holidays.  I already own the Sony Cybershot DSC-H9 and back in 2007, it cost me around $450 for a mere 8.1 megapixels.  About the size of eighteen credit cards stacked together, this WX9...
