Title: Review: Canon EOS 40DSummary: There's a lot to like about Canon's successor to the popular EOS 30D digital single-lens reflex camera. Experienced photographers will enjoy the EOS 40D's intuitive design and easy-to-use software interface, not to mention the great image quality. It's not perfect, but it's a DSLR to seriously consider. Read the full review Pros: ; Image quality; great interface with re-defined menu structure; nice customization features; good live view implementation; custom modes. Cons: ; Limited auto-bracketing; inconvenient power switch; lacks some advanced features and customization options. Country:

Title: Canon EOS 40DSummary: This DSLR from Canon performs so well that finding something to criticize about it was difficult. Although it is missing some features compared to other cameras in its class, nearly everything that the Canon EOS 40D does, it does very well. Image quality and speed are great. What is not perfect is its white-balance system which...

Title: Canon EOS 40DSummary: Canon¿s taken a long time to bring the resolution of its semi-pro model into line with the cheaper entry-level 400D. If you shoot RAW, if you need that sensational 6.5fps shooting, and if you want a tough, long-lasting camera, the 40D is exceptional value for money. Read the full review Country:
