The larger LCD is a low resolution affair
With 230
000 pixels
Compared with nearly one million on the Nikon D300 and the Sony A700. This diminishes the usefulness of live view and also affects picture review. And there is no auto-focus assist lamp fo...
Some minor auto focus problems in low light The Final Word For at least a little while it appears the Canon 40D is king of the hill. While the Nikon D80 and D200 both provide reasonable alternatives for enthusiasts
Abstract: This 10-megapixel digital single-lens reflex has several evolutionary improvements over the EOS 30D, including the extra 2 million pixels, a larger LCD screen and what is called "live view" function. Live view is using the LCD screen as the view...

Generally superior shooting speed among dSLRs, First-rate photo quality
Large spot size for spot meter, Relatively sluggish low-light focus
Great photo quality and excellent continuous-shooting performance are just two of the Canon EOS 40Ds many attractions in the digital camera marketplace. ...

Abstract: Before I start writing my review of Canon’s EOS 40D camera, I’d like to you ask you, the reader/consumer, a few questions. Please answer them honestly. What would you rather have in these features? Reflex viewing- Pentamirror or Pentaprism? Viewfinder-...
Heavy, Confusing controls, Manual focusing in Live View
In a world gone crazy over slim and light, full-sized digital SLRs like the Canon 40D ($925-$1300, body only) are behemoths. With the 28-135mm ES zoom included with my review unit, this EOS model weighed a hefty three pounds, and it gave me a whole new pe...
