  • The £799 price-tag of the EOS 40D places it somewhere between the Nikon D80 (£510) and D300 (£1299) in the current market. That’s probably where we would place it based on features and handling too, as it’s not quite as rugged as the D300 but has more ...

  • But something odd happened with the 30D. It was a semi-pro camera with an 8MP sensor when the cheaper model in the range - the 400D - had 10 million pixels. Canon's put that right with the EOS 40D, but the improvements in this camera go far beyond a si...

  • Abstract:  If this is your first tentative step into the semi-pro photo arena, its hard to imagine a more complete, trustworthy and versatile introduction, and for the veteran the 40D has some definite improvements to offer over the EOS 30D. Canon - EOS 40D pri...

  • Abstract:  Canon EOS 40D Canon upgrades its 30D SLR, with some spectacular results Canon has taken a while to refresh its popular 30D SLR for keen amateurs and semi-pros, but here it is. The 40D is a big, serious camera, one that will instantly appeal to buyers ...

  • Abstract:  The EOS 40D succeeds the 30D as Canons digital SLR for the discerning photography enthusiast. £930 may be a lot to spend on a camera, but dont be misled by the unexceptional 10.1-megapixel resolution; theres plenty here to persuade you to part wi...

  • Huge LCD screen, Impressive continuous shooting speed, 10-megapixels
  • No great advances in image quality
  • The EOS 40D replaces the 30D, which itself replaced Canons mid-range 20D model. These were all pitched above the basic entry-level 300D/350D/400D series, with metal build, faster continuous shooting and more advanced controls. But something odd happen...

  • Abstract:  Superb build quality and performance make this a worthwhile upgrade for serious amateurs. Theres no denying Canons success at the amateur end of the DSLR market. The EOS 350D (web ID: 72900) and 400D (web ID: 97741) made good impressions when they a...
