canon 40d digital camera review

[SuperMangn]

I just bought a used 40d and I also have a new T2i or 550d. The metal body, better grip, second lcd screen, second dial and bigger and brighter viewfinder make the 40d ten times easier and better to use. When I use the T2i now it is such a pain changing settings, checking your settings or checking exposure meter. The 40d is so much better if you use manual mode, and so much better if you know what you are doing and use the custom functions of the 40d.

You lost even more of your time complaining about it.

[multiverses2009]

that was boring, want my 4:41 of time back

[matteuklol]

anyone having really crap sharpness? on the 40d?

[sarahHeartbreak]

@matteuklol I am!

[walternator2]

Nice video but could have delved into the more technical stuff like how many megapixels it has. Talking of which how many megapixels does it have?

[zxbcx]

10.1

[GameTeve]

10.1 mpx

[needlessdestruction]

hey everyone!

im looking at buying an SLR. The only problem is i can't decide which one to get. at the moment its between the 40D and the 500D. the 500 has more megapixals and HiDef video. but the 40D is more solid and has faster FPS.

[instantvoid]

Faster FPS > Mega Pixels.

[zxbcx]

no that means frames per second lol

[vh280495]

Buy the 40D!!!

The 40D is a much better camera!

Megapix are not important (only if you need to print BIG size)

[andy8016]

40D 100%. 40D is semi pro, better built, more features aside from hd video. Many other things.

[colinstu]

You should go fore the 40D

[needlessdestruction]

yeah i did...its great..thanks

[spaded]

easy go nikon, haha nah umm get watever u want

[AndrewKFletcher]

Thanks. Looking for a camera that's good for video and has antishake feature.

Had an Olympus MJU700 that died just after waranty. Looked on net and found lots more people got the bluescreen of death error number so will never be buying another Olympus, hence my interest in Canon

[zaohad1]

I have a 20d and its a great camera. If you go the canon route the first thing to buy extra is a spare battery. Theyre cheap on ebay.Also some decent lenses and make sure you get the uv filters to protect the lensMylens and accesoory list is

1 spare battery

2 spare cf card

3 28 135 lens

2 10 22 lens

3 580ex flash and the wireless remote off ebay its called T-4

4 1.4 50mm lens

5 100 macro lens f2.8

so far ive got the 28 135 lens lol theyre all expensive items.

[jdfeos]

Tank you for the nice review. :)

[Kileyren]

so you turn off the shutter sound?

[clamcrabber]

i just got mine in the mail and love it, way more advanced than my last two 20d's it has a different shutter sound though

[qureshi80]

what lens are you using in ur video clips

[GologusRIP]

looks to me like some macro :)

60 or 100

[ChillpointNews]

Nah, looks like the 17-85mm to me. You can't zoom with the macro lenses.

[allemyr]

In the beginning it's the 17-85 lens, and after a while, he uses a 100 2.8 USM makro. Great lens anyway

[hanzakbar]

Marriage photographer..

I so wanna learn of how to do it? but i dunno how to learn of how to do it :D.?

[Nobbyknobend]

That Ken Thomson's wonderful so he is, a masterful show of presentation...gie him his own series.

[waytoocoolforschool]

Getting it for my birthday! One week! I've got to pay part of it. Oh well. It's still amazing!

[bifftannen84]

Ooo! I just got this a couple of weeks ago! It's such a fab cam!

[magix93]

i am buying it next month its great

[magix93]

i got it

its great

[thejarred89]

big camera for a 14 year old..

[magix93]

i am 16

[thejarred89]

big camera for a 16 year old..

[magix93]

yeah and you have have a small cam for a 23 year old

[thejarred89]

i actually have the EOS-3 with several lenses, not that small of a cam.. actually weighs a lot. i used a nikon FM2 for 8 years...

..buying the 40D would be a waste of money if you have no experience. and considering you're 16 years old, you don't. might want to consider a smaller camera.

[magix93]

i had the 350d for a few years

great cam

i made some money selling pictures

thats how i saved up for the 40d

i have a 18-200mm lens from sigma, 50mm f1.8 from canon, and the 75-300.

??any suggestions for a third lens??

[zaohad1]

10 22 efs lens for landscapes and interiors especially if you want to sell photos. you can out your cam on a table opposite people and get them all in the shot. keep it level tho as it distorts.

[niokniok51]

i personally own a 10-22 and from my opinion, this is with the 17-55 the Rolls Royce of the EF-S Canon Lenses. for portraits, architecture, landscapes et so much type of photos, this lens is just perfect !

The only annoyed me about it is that Canon didn't give a Lens Hood with it ! a friend of mine sold his 17-40 without the lens hood and gave it to me, if not, I would to pay extra dollars only for a piece of plastic..

[magix93]

i had the 350d for a few years.

i saved up for a 40d by selling photographs.

do you make similar photographs like the guy in the video?

[thejarred89]

no, i haven't taken macro pictures in a while

[sgabara]

can i ask what tripod you use, it seems very user friendly with the ball joint.

[kenneththomson]

The tripod is a Manfrotto carbon fibre, with an Arca-Swiss ballhead. The ballhead was expensive, but it will last forever - I've already owned it for 10+ years.

[Ancho1987jaja]

very good review..

[gingercalder]

you rock ken !!
