  Duration of ownership: 3 Months

  Strengths: 6 frames per second burst rate, anti-dust system, realtime LCD, low noise 10MP sensor, light weight, 1.6 crop

  Weaknesses:low LCD resolution, could be put more cross type auto focus sensors

  Overall Evaluation: I have owned the first generation Canon Digital Rebel, Canon 20D, Canon 5D and now 40D. I would say that 40D is the best 1.6 crop SLR from Canon. I used it along side with my 5D, mostly for sports where its 6 FPS bust rate and 1.6 crop are more advantageous than 5D. 40D has the same sensor density as Canon's top of the line Canon 1DS III. This means that you are actually shooting with Canon 1Ds III but with much smaller FOV. The camera is very well built. The only negative I have about it is that Canon could put more cross type auto focus sensors as well as better LCD on it just as Nikon did on the D300. I hope we can see these futures in the next product upgrade. Overall, I am extremely happy with it and would recommend to anyone who needs a SLR camera one step above the Canon 400D.

  Duration of ownership: 4 Months

  Strengths: -Better, faster auto-focusing system-3" LCD"live-view" useful for certain applications, such as for macro work-updated menu system allows for quicker and easier navigation-bigger viewfinder

  Weaknesses:3 inch lcd has same resolution as the 30D's 2.5" screen, "weather-proofing" is not complete as with the 1-series bodies

  Overall Evaluation: I have used this camera for about 4 months now and have been satisfied with its performance. The kit lens is an awesome all-around lens to use with the camera. Obviously, over time, you may want to upgrade to a faster lens, but I think the 28-135 IS kit lens will serve most people for a good amount of time, since it covers such a wide range, and having image stabilization doesn't hurt either. I use this camera mostly for photojournalism work, but I had recently brought it with me on a three week trip to Toronto, Niagra, New York city, DC, and Philadelphia. The 40D performed flawlessly. Many of my photos which were taken at night at 1600 ISO came out great after a bit of noise-reduction. Overall, I am very happy with this camera, but it is not perfect. Here are my nitpicky criticisms: Some of the newer features have yet to be tested to see any marked improvements, however, such as the DIGIC 3 chip. Another is the sensor cleaning system. Although I think
