 worth the money October 6, 2008
a camera with lots of possibilities, robust and excellent picture quality- for a reasonable price.
 Best Price on Canon SLR with Warranty October 6, 2008
I was a bit worried about buying an expensive electronic item on-line, but I had done my research and I knew I wanted THIS camera. I received it promptly. The local camera store had tried to scare me saying that cameras bought on-line had no warranty or if they did, it would be an overseas warranty. Well, mine came with a warranty from the US of A! I was using this camera within hours of receiving it after charging the battery. It takes beautiful photos and it is easy to learn. Be sure to buy a memory card. I hadn't realized it didn't come with one. I saved money buying this camera at Amazon and it is a great SLR for an amateur with aspirations of becoming a professional.
Worthy Upgrade From Rebel XTI? Should you buy the XSI? October 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After using a Digital Rebel XTI since it's release, I decided to upgrade to the 40D. First impressions are 100% positive - extremely well made, balanced feel, excellent viewfinder, fast & reliable. Picture quality is excellent - lower noise levels at all ISO setting over the XTI. Is it worth the difference in price over the new XSI? In my opinion, that depends upon whether or not a rugged, better sealed body is important. (also note that the XSI is a 12mp sensor). My only complaint is the bundled 28-135mm IS lens - the effects of the IS are barely noticeable. If I had to do it over again, I would have just purchased the body. This lens does take great pictures and the bundled price was exceptional though...
Overall, a great camera for the money!
Outstanding Camera October 1, 2008
I bought the kit. Camera and Lens, and I am glad I did. The value added by the lens is great. The lens has a great range from 28-135mm and I have it on the camera all the time. It is well suited for most situations you will come across in everyday shooting. It has reduced the amount of lens changing I have done in the past. The camera is well constructed and feels like a piece of professional equipment in your hands. The controls are clear and well placed. The only control I wish that had been done differently is the Power switch, but after a little time with the camera I have gotten used to it. The camera takes great pictures and is very fast. I love the way the camera is almost instantly ready as soon as you turn it on. I have not been able to notice any lag or delay between shots.
The 40D has many automatic modes that will take a great picture for you. There are also creative and a manual mode for the more advanced people that buy this camera. As well as three presets that you can program manually to suit your common picture taking needs. The battery has a very long life span. You can take hundreds of pictures on a single charge. Having a spare battery with you is always a good idea and worth the price.
If you're considering purchasing this camera you can't go wrong with this camera. I give it a big thumbs up. The only consideration you might have at this point is to perhaps go to the 50D which just came out to market.
Great Camera in all respects except few flaws October 1, 2008
I've been using this camera for about a year. Overall it has performed really well. Dust reduction works great. After 30D dust problems I can say I have no dust at all after about 12 months of heavy use. I like the live view and the bigger LCD. However the LCD is not adequate for reviewing sharpness even though it has enough resolution for (Live view) magnification (10x). It's got to do with the thumbnail Canon uses to display the pictures. Another gripe is bracketing only goes to -/+2 EV and 3 shots. The print button is still "useless" (dont know why Canon insists on keeping it). Auto ISO is very limited 400-800 only. Pictures are usually a bit on the soft side but not a problem if you use Post Processing. Hi Speed shooting works well and I captured some great shots with it. Overall I thinks this is a very good Prosumer camera which could have been even better if Canon had invested some effort to develop the right firmware to overcome some of these issues.
