Canon EOS 40 D camera review by What Digital Camera magazine

Getting mine next week!!!

what lens are you using?? did all the D family have manual focusing?? like 500D??
tnx..because im thingking what SLR im buying if 40d or 500d..

He is using the Canon EF -S17-85 f/4.5-5.6 USM IS.

Go for the 40D!

OMG, I should have gottent his 40D long time ago. I waited and waited and 40D is wiped out from almsot everwyhere. So glad Adorama still has some.

well when i get the camera should i format the memory card emediatly?

Loving all your comments on all these great cameras! I just bought the 40D with the 17-85 IS. Only a few left in shops here in Ireland. Only problem i had was the price...€999 was the cheapest here and £823 in England which works out more. D90 is again a great camera 50D also but if i had the money i would get the D300. For now my 40D is going to keep me very happy...its an awesome camera and would advise anyone to go out and snap up the few remaining 40D's that are left.

hey camera fans,
im looking at 2 cameras, either the canon eos 40d or the nikon d90.
my backgraound is as a skateboarding photographer (toungue in cheek but thats what im using it for) aswell as everyday travel photos as i go about my life lol
im struggling to dcide between the additional megapixels and aperture capobilities (high speed shooting in low light conditions) of the d90 or the 6.5 frames a second of the canon. soz if i mad any idioty mistakes in this, but all helps good :)

i have the same problem i like the nikon because it just feels better in the hand

Thanks

You're welcome, although success is not guaranteed. If you've not used the card after the format, you should be able to get most, if not all, data back. If you've already shot some pictures with it, chances are that you've really wiped the original data. Fingers crossed. I like the freeware utility pc inspector to recover lost data, but others might do the job just as well.
