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.
Handling, image quality, ease of use, good dust removal system and prevention, AF, great colour and white balance, low noise, Good software.
Over crowded buttons, fussy button/dial combinations, metering foibles.
