- Worth every penny
- I just received my Canon EOS 40D with the 28-135mm lens kit (Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens) yesterday and haven't been able to put it down since. I contemplated going for either the Nikon D300 or the Canon EOS 40D for portrait work and am in no way regretful. I also ordered the Battery grip. All I can say is... FINALLY!! First of all it is pretty hefty (Not heavy) but is definitely has the 'Professional' feel to the body even without the lens. I added the 28-135mm lens and battery grip and this camera screams 'Hey everyone I'm really serious about photography.' I have absolutely no gripes about this camera. I have used the Canon Rebel XT in the past and this camera is in a league of its own. If you're in-between in your decision, don't be. Just get the camera and you won't be sorry. I know I'm not.

- Amazing camera, best DSLR yet
- I finally upgraded from my well-used, well-beaten 10D that I bought in 2004. It held up very well to my semi-pro use, but I was starting to get frustrated with the start-up lag and lack of exposure range.
The 20D and 30D never seemed that much better than the 10D, but from the first moment I held the 40D I knew it was time to upgrade. The big screen and minimal start-up and shutter lag times grabbed my attention at first. The auto-ISO was also a bonus in the camera store.
Once I got out in the field what really impresses me about this camera (which is at least as sturdy as my old 10D) is the wide exposure sensitivity. These days I have much more flexibility in choosing lighting, and don't have nearly the same problem with blown highlights that I did with the 10D. The images also require much less processing to bring out the best of their colors and sharpness. I've printed many right out of the camera. - 2008-08-13, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- 40D - First DSLR, couldn't be happier
- I bought this kit nearly 4 months ago and couldn't be happier.
The learning curve was a little steep, being that this was my first DSLR, but once picking it up and shooting regularly and reading everything I could get my hands on, I feel pretty comfortable with it.
Interchangeable lenses is my favorite part about DSLRs. Moving from wide angle to zoom is easy and worth the hassle for the image quality you get from the canon 40d.
I originally purchased this camera for its burst capabilities for sports shooting and have since paired it with a 70-200 f/4 L. I am extremely happy with the results. - 2008-08-12, 2 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
