- Canon EOS 40D
  
  Review summary: 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 ...

  Review summary: Canon upgrades its 30D SLR, with some spectacular results
  
  Pros: Now 10.1MP, Digic III image processor, Useful extras including Live View, New custom modes
  
  Cons: Histogram could be clearer in sunlight, Some menu idiosyncrasies, Still not full frame
  
  Verdict: Bigger, faster and bolder, with genuinely handy new features such as Live View and Digic III image processing. This should be at the top of every 30D owner's Christmas list and will appeal to 400D owners who need more power and flexibility. A great ...

  Review summary: Canon EOS 40D Review - With a chorus of choirboys singing, massed pipers piping and a hundred heralds, er heralding, it's the shiny new semi-pro DSLR from Canon. Duncan Evans puts away the kid gloves and gets out the silk ones with gold filigree he ...
  
  Pros: 6.5fps shooting speed!, Well made, solid body, Fast and responsive AF, Beginner modes, Large, 3in. LCD screen, Colour configurations, Good shutter speed range, Live View works well, Low noise, well controlled, Built-in sensor cleaning
  
  Cons: Some usability weaknesses, AF point system limited, Kit lens not the sharpest, Most rivals offer 12Mp
  
  Verdict: The 40D offers a distinct step up from the 30D in terms of image quality and speed of handling and shooting. It has a very good build quality with plenty of buttons for often-used features, but there are some handling issues, and it's annoying to have ...

- Canon EOS 40D Review
  By Philip Greenspun
  
  Review summary: The Canon 40D gives you the same 10-megapixel resolution as the Rebel XTi for nearly double the price, double the size, and double the weight. The sensor is the same physical size as on the Digital Rebel, resulting in a waste of glass when using ...
