Canon-EOS 40D

Canon - EOS 40D Review

Price (MSRP): $1299
Megapixel: 10.1
Type: Digital SLR
Submitted by: Reviewer from Gastonia, NC
Date Reviewed: 4/3/2008
Months Owned: 1-5
Photos Taken: 2500+
Skill Level: Amateur

What's Hot: Great fps speed, fast autofocus, built like a tank

What's Not: A little less weight and $$ in price would be nice, but otherwise it's about perfect.

Review: My first digital SLR, the 40D is everythign I thought it would be and much more. I wanted to get into sports photography, and the 6.5 fps speed is wonderful. There is still so much I have to learn about the 40D, but so far I am 100% satisfied with it!
