The EOS 50D Was Announced TodayAugust 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The EOS 50D, which is the upgrade to the EOS 40D, was announced by Canon today. It will be available in October. If you are considering the 40D then you might want to also take a look at the new 50D. Specifications are on Canon's web site, canonusa.com. The EOS 50D has 15 megapixels and other improvements. Tks.
40D upgrade from the 30DAugust 26, 2008 Love this camera. I decided to upgrade the 30D after waiting for a while. The cleaner high ISO images from the DIGIC III processor and the Live View were the two main selling points. I love low light flash free photography. This body meets those demands in ACES.
Build (much like the 30D) is solid with a few physical refinements and improvements. It makes a great second body for my 1D MarkII that is a well tested workhorse.
Much quieter than the 30D (and the MarkII). All those familiar controls that make photography a smooth process (I'm sure Nikonians feel the same about their cameras). Improved sensor density, custom functions and 3" LCD for review are big pluses.
In keeping with all of my delayed decisions to upgrade in the past, Canon followed suite just weeks after my purchase by announcing the release of the 15MP DIGIC IV Canon 50D. I would guess this will drop the price of the 40D even more but I have no remorse. This is a super camera!
EOS Canon 40DAugust 25, 2008 I haven't really had the camera long enough to fully test it but so far, it is outstanding. I've always been a Canon shooter so the feel and functions are familiar. I like it.
Great Camera, Solid BuildAugust 24, 2008 This camera surpassed my expectations and then some. Great speed and battery life. Damn near instantaneous start up times and lots of great features usefull to pro and semi-pro photographers. Make sure that whatever size CF card you get that its fast. I recommend the SanDisk 8 or 16 gig Extreme III. With this card I have basically zero lag between the card and camera. As quick as I can take the pics, this card is able to write them. Dont get any of Extreme IV SanDisk cards because you are just wasting your money , since the Canon 40d cant even handle the Extreme IV speeds. Rumors are saying the new version of this camera will be out at the beginning of the year , so if you can wait untill then do so, but if your like me and couldn't wait and needed this Camera right away then go for it. Great investment. 5 Stars NO DOUBT.
Worth the upgrade over my Canon 30DAugust 23, 2008 I upgraded from a Canon 30D to 40D. I felt the extra features, newer technology and the difference in price over a 30D was worth the money. Things I like about the 40D right away were; larger lCD, double the FPS (which allows the 40D to compete with the 5D and older Mark II's for HDR and action shots), improved menus with ISO information, and the new 14bit A/D color sensitivy.
Things I don't like are the LiveView(it's hidden in the menus), the printer button, size of the sensor, and a lack of new technological features.
