Great for first time dSLR'er.Date: 2008-10-07 Rating: 10 out of 10There is not much that I can say about this camera that hasn't already been said by others here on Amazon. What I will add is some personal perspective.
I have been using point and shoot digital cameras for years. I bought an S2 IS three years ago because I wanted a nice digital without spending dSLR money. That camera served me well, but after three years it has started to limit my creativity. After much research, including the reviews by others here on Amazon, I decided to go with the EOS 40D.
For me there was a toss-up between the XSi and the 40D, but what pushed me in the 40D direction was ultimately the size of the camera. I'm a big guy. When I held an XSi in my hands it just felt too small. The 40D felt just right in my hands. Another motivating factor was the kit lens. The EF 18-135 is far better than that which comes with the XSI.
After spending a week with the camera, I can say that I am fully satisfied. It takes great pictures and allows me a large degree of creativity. With the camera I ordered a guidebook that is helping a lot. As for the pictures, they have very little noise. As I take more and more pictures in the different modes, I am able to take better and better shots.
One important thing to mention for those upgrading from P&S is that RAW is amazing. I typically have better unfinished results with RAW than I ever do with jpg. After some finishing, they are unparalleled. I can't wait until I get some more experience. I already have people telling me they're willing to pay me for my shots.

Bewertungenworth the moneyDatum 2008-10-06 Rang: 10 von 10a camera with lots of possibilities, robust and excellent picture quality- for a reasonable price.Best Price on Canon SLR with WarrantyDatum 2008-10-06 Rang: 8 von 10I was a bit worried about buying an expensive electronic item on-line, but I had done my research and I knew I wanted THIS camera. I received it promptly. The local camera store had tried to scare me saying that cameras bought on-line had no warranty or if they did, it would be an overseas warranty. Well, mine came with a warranty from the US of A! I was using this camera within hours of receiving it after charging the battery. It takes beautiful photos and it is easy to learn. Be sure to buy a memory card. I hadn't realized it didn't come with one. I saved money buying this camera at Amazon and it is a great SLR for an amateur with aspirations of becoming a professional.Worthy Upgrade From Rebel XTI? Should you buy the XSI?Datum 2008-10-03 Rang: 8 von 10After using a Digital Rebel XTI since it's release, I decided to upgrade to the 40D. First impressions are 100% positive - extremely well made, balanced feel, excellent viewfinder, fast & reliable. Picture quality is excellent - lower noise levels at all ISO setting over the XTI. Is it worth the difference in price over the new XSI? In my opinion, that depends upon whether or not a rugged, better sealed body is important. (also note that the XSI is a 12mp sensor). My only complaint is the bundled 28-135mm IS lens - the effects of the IS are barely noticeable. If I had to do it over again, I would have just purchased the body. This lens does take great pictures and the bundled price was exceptional though...
Overall, a great camera for the money!Outstanding CameraDatum 2008-10-01 Rang: 10 von 10 I bought the kit. Camera and Lens, and I am glad I did. The value added by the lens is great. The lens has a great range from 28-135mm and I have it on the camera all the time. It is well suited for most situations you will come across in everyday shooting. It has reduced the amount of lens changing I have done in the past. The camera is well constructed and feels like a piece of professional equipment in your hands. The controls are clear and well placed. The only control I wish that had been done differently is the Power switch, but after a little time with the camera I have gotten used to it. The camera takes great pictures and is very fast. I love the way the camera is almost instantly ready as soon as you turn it on. I have not been able to notice any lag or delay between shots.
The 40D has many automatic modes that will take a great picture for you. There are also creative and a manual mode for the more advanced people that buy this camera. As well as three presets that you can program manually to suit your common picture taking needs. The battery has a very long life span. You can take hundreds of pictures on a single charge. Having a spare battery with you is always a good idea and worth the price.
If you're considering purchasing this camera you can't go wrong with this camera. I give it a big thumbs up. The only consideration you might have at this point is to perhaps go to the 50D which just came out to market.
