      Canon EOS 40D; Redefining The Common Wisdom About D-SLR Photography

      By George Schaub

      Review summary: Common wisdom is what the collective mind creates to make sense of the world.

      Verdict: Now on to Live View. When used in conjunction with the large 3" monitor this is a most impressive-looking feature, and simulates the ground-glass effect of view cameras while having all the drawbacks of shooting with a digicam. For that reason, Canon, ...

      Canon EOS-40D

      By Jeff Keller

      Review summary: The EOS-40D is Canon's midrange digital SLR, replacing their popular EOS-30D, which was introduced back in February of 2006. While the 30D was a relatively minor update to the 20D, the new 40D has some significant new features. They include:

      Pros: Excellent photo quality (with a decent lens attached), with nearly no noise ; Rugged, well-designed body ; doors and ports are weather-sealed ; Cheaper than the competition, especially the D300 ; Huge 3-inch LCD with live view feature ; histogram and ...

      Cons: Tends to underexpose a bit ; Some redeye ; Live view not available in auto/scene modes ; UDMA CompactFlash cards not supported (unlike the competition) ; LCD pales in comparison to the one on the D300 and A700

      Verdict: Something you definitely won't find in the box is a memory card. Thus, if you don't have a CompactFlash card laying around, you'll need to buy one. The 40D supports both Type I and II CompactFlash cards, which include things like the Microdrive (does ...
