01 May 2009 Great camera. Great camera for the price. It's not often you can get a prosumer/semi-pro camera for less than $1,000.

The camera is comfortable to hold and has a sturdy magnesium alloy body. It takes better pictures than my Rebel XSi even though I use the kit lens and 55 to 250mm IS telephoto lens I used from my Rebel.

  • "But as we keep saying, megapixels are just one factor to consider when buying a camera. The 40D is a case in point: Improvements in sensor design, color accuracy, noise reduction at high ISOs, image processing, dynamic range, and AF accuracy have had a greater impact on image quality and performance than merely boosting the megapixels would have."
