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:

LCD screen¤ Colour configurations¤ Good shutter speed range¤ Live View works well¤ Low noise, well controlled¤ Built-in sensor cleaning Cons: ; ¤ Some usability weaknesses¤ AF point system limited¤ Kit lens not the sharpest¤ Most rivals offer 12Mp 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...
