Canon EOS 40D Digital Cameras Plus Information
Building on the success of Canon’s perennially popular “prosumer” EOS 20D and 30D models, the EOS 40D advances the state-of-the-art for 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.

Canon EOS 40D Professional Reviews:

• digitalcamerainfo review the Canon EOS 40D and gave out”There’s a lot of competition in this price range. Some of the 40D’s competitors offer very attractive features that Canon has not included. Features such as body-based image stabilization (Sony A700), a commander flash mode (Nikon), and rotating Live View LCDs with better resolution (Panasonic L10) may capture some of its target market.Current 30D owners who use multiple bodies, such as wedding photographers, may be put off by the reassignment and repositioning of the buttons on the top and back of the camera. But for first time DSLR owners or single body shooters, the 40D provides Canon’s characteristically excellent image quality, solid build, and convenience.”

• photographyreview review the Canon EOS 40D and gave out”The 40D fits well in Canon’s current digital SLR lineup, filling that gap between the Digital Rebel XTi / 400D and the EOS-1D Mark III. The size, ergonomics, build quality, and usability are all on par with what Canon users want. While the 40D is regarded as a “prosumer” model, I know of several professionals using it for work. This Canon EOS 40D is a versatile work tool and performed equally well for sports and studio photography.So, at the end of this long review you’re probably if you should you buy a Canon EOS 40D? In short, YES! While there are a few features I dislike about this camera, they are minimal in comparison to the camera’s impressive features and performance.”

• goodgearguide review the Canon EOS 40D and gave out”For at least a little while it appears the Canon 40D is king of the hill. While the Nikon D80 and D200 both provide reasonable alternatives for enthusiasts, and the Nikon D40x and Canon EOS 400D are both more suitable options for amateurs, the 40D’s blend of great pictures, rugged construction and speedy operation make it a great purchase.”
