Canon’s taken a long time to bring the resolution of its semi-pro model into line with the cheaper entry-level 400D. If you shoot RAW, if you need that sensational 6.5fps shooting, and if you want a tough, long-lasting camera, the 40D is exceptional value for money. Read more

, and in that time the market for mid-range semi-professional digital SLRs has become a lot more crowded. While Canon is still the undisputed worldwide DSLR market leader, it no longer has only Nikon to worry about. The EOS 40D faces some pretty determined competition, so is this upgrade of the popular EOS 30D good enough to hold onto the lead? Read more

If this is your first tentative step into the semi-pro photo arena, it's hard to imagine a more complete, trustworthy and versatile introduction, and for the veteran the 40D has some definite improvements to offer over the EOS 30D. Read more

The strengths of the Canon EOS 40D overshadow any minor drawbacks. It is a powerful, scalable camera. This is a great step-up model whose versatility will grow along with a keen photographer. And if you're a more advanced shooter or a pro looking for something smaller and less costly than Canon's top-tier cameras (the 1D and 5D series), this camera is perfect for you. Read more

Recommend to potential buyers: yes Full review I purchased this camera after getting into photography using a Fuji 6500FD. I learnt a lot from my first camera and soon realised I needed something more. I decided on a Canon 40D and was not dissapointed. The picture quality is excellent and with a very large range of lenses and users to share their experience and knowledge it has become a great tool for me. The software that comes with this camera is very advanced and a... Read more

Great camera / lens
Reviewer: paul "paul", Amazon10 March 2008- Overall 10

This is my first "proper" dSLR. After owning a nice Canon film EOS, I bought a small Canon p&s (point and shoot) which is also a great little camera. I bought this camera rather than the 400D because 1) it's a bigger and much sturdier body being crafted from metals rather than plastic. Now some might prefer the lighter 400d but for me the larger 40d is just much nicer to handle and use. 2) the kit lens is better quality than the one with the 400d. Having owned the cam... Read more
