Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens
Customer Review: Fantastic Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently wanting to upgrade my Canon 350D, I was undecided between the Canon 40D and 5D. Given I photograph a lot of birds and wildlife, the features the 40D provided in this regard completely outweighed the 5D.
Since using the camera for a few months I will have to say what a great camera this is for the price. The few things of note that I have noticed greatly improve over my previous camera body: fast shutter, image quality, low image/iso noise, sensor cleaning, custom settings, and solid construction (this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the incredible features available on this camera).
So far my only real complaint is that darn red light on the back of the camera that illuminates during exposures (not a great feature for long exposures).
Customer Review: Wonderful Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera has a very professional feel and good ergonomics.
As far as physical build quality, it's very nice; much better than the lower end SLRs that Canon produces. The shooting speed is wonderful when trying to capture fast action. The autofocus works very quickly and accurately.
While not cons, I should point out two details: 1) The camera's live preview is only designed to operate in the advanced modes (not in the point & shoot modes) 2) The camera's heavy duty build comes at the cost of a little more weight. If you are simply looking for a camera to casually carry around, this isn't it... but then again, you probably wouldn't be looking at an SLR. :)
I would highly recommend this camera to anybody wanting durability and quality without the $2000+ price tag!
Customer Review: The best camera I've owned.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was attempting to upgrade from my xTi and found the 40D to be a really great suit for my needs. I could not justify the additional cost of the 50D for my use, but I was not at all disappointed with the quality of this proven veteran. I have found the Camera to be very user friendly and unintimidating. It's ease of use invites you to try more creative shooting techniques and the results are almost immediately rewarding. There are also many reference books available to walk you through some of the more intriguing features. I love the camera.....can't put it down.......I look forward to every weekend shooting opportunity. I never seem to be anything but totally pleased with the results. This camera makes me look like a pro, and I'm a budding amateur, at best.Customer Review: Best buy for me
Summary: 5 Stars
Always wanted one and with our first born on his way and after carefull review and comparing went for the EOS 40D with the 28-135mm lens and until so far (4 months) no regrets whatsover!
If you want to, be the professional that decides on all the settings, and if not, all is done for you making beautiful pictures too. Sports picture mode works like a dream when I used it for a rafting day out with friends as did my wife with a blowcart event.
I took the Speedlite 430 external flash and can recommend getting one because the only downside I have found with the camera so far is the built in flash. It works only for close shots but makes the pictures very bland (white). But that is about all I have found so far.
Customer Review: Awesome camera
Summary: 5 Stars
First off - this review is from an entry-level photographer, I have only had point & shoots prior to this. This is my first DSLR so I don't have a ton of experience...I just want to take great pictures, mostly of the family, pets, vacation, occasional sporting events, etc. This camera is great. I just got it over the weekend and I am so amazed by the awesome pictures that I am already seeing. Anyone thinking of getting this camera - don't worry, you will not be disappointed.
Also, the IS lens that is included in kit is pretty nice too. You can definitely notice the IS at work. I tried out an older zoom lens that my dad had (w/o IS) and there was a noticeable improvement with the IS lens.
