Camera Labs‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Canon’s EOS 40D features many improvements over its predecessor and finally shows the pesky Nikon D80 who’s boss – albeit one which costs almost half as much again. Canon’s delivered a superb DSLR which handles beautifully, is packed with useful features and delivers great-looking images.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The new Canon 40D offers a very mature set of features in a camera that's priced lower than its predecessors. It also offers as much value and image quality as competing designs that are hundreds of dollars more. Canon's pro SLR designs have always been conservative, and they didn't try to leap-frog the market with a higher resolution sensor; instead they stuck to a 10-megapixel sensor size that would deliver the quality that Canon fans are used to.

While I'm on the subject of lenses, I'll answer another FAQ. Yes, the 40D (and XTi) can make use of the higher quality lenses available. These bodies have the highest density DSLR sensors Canon currently makes - They need quality glass to take full advantage of their capabilities. The Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens is my most-frequently-recommended lens for the 1.6x bodies (I keep one mounted on my 40D for immediate use).

Many people imagine that a better camera will help you take better pictures. That’s not quite true. In fact, a better camera simply helps you take pictures better… In other words, the picture quality is decided by the photographer, not the camera. But if the camera suits you better, your pictures will get better too. The fact is that the picture quality you get from the Canon EOS 40D is not significantly better than that you get from the EOS 400D or indeed any of the other 10-megapixel SLRs on the market right now. What you’re getting is a camera with more scope, more sophisticated controls and a better design and layout for those who already know one end of a camera from the other.

Great photo quality and excellent continuous-shooting performance are just two of the Canon EOS 40D's many attractions in the digital camera marketplace.

LetsGoDigital‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The seven models, from EOS D30 to the 40D, have changed drastically. The image sensor and processor took huge steps forwards and also the DSLR camera itself improved a lot. Can you still imagine how happy a 1.8-inch monitor on the back of a camera made you? The difference with today's cameras is evident and the EOS 40D is a true example of where we stand now and how the technique has advanced. If there are still people who are not convinced of the fact that modern DSLR cameras exceed 35mm cameras, I suggest they work with the Canon EOS 40D for a while!

DP Review‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Seven years since the EOS D30, the sixth incarnation of that camera displays all of the advantages of a progressive evolution in both features and quality. With each step up the evolutionary ladder to the EOS 40D Canon has demonstrated improvements in image quality, performance, usability and features. They also demonstrated that as well as meeting the 'requirements of the market' they also listened to owners and reviewers by implementing the most commonly requested feature changes. With the EOS 40D these include permanent display of ISO sensitivity on both the top LCD and viewfinder status bar, the warning message with the CF compartment is opened during a write process and the addition of the AF-ON button.
