My First Digital SLR is Awesome!!!

"I purchased this camera in January 2008 as my first digital SLR (actually my first SLR period). The layout of the controls is so straight-forward with quick access to everything you might need to change on the fly. The owner's manual is well laid out and it comes with a quick start guide to hit the highlights so you can be out shooting pictures quickly. The included kit lens offers a very usable focal range ..." Read Full Review »

Easy to use camera but...

"My Canon is less than a year old and has required warranty service twice. The first time both LCD screens needed to be replaced. One had dust behind the screen and the other screen was discolored. The second time I had to send in the camera was due to a faulty error messege that would not go away...." Read Full Review »

"I switched from the Pentax *ist D and I can't be more happy. The 40d is fast and rock solid. Its menu system is big but easy to learn. I really like the MY MENU, great for getting somewhere fast. Great images with low noise. I just got the Canon 50mm f/1.4 and it rocks on this camera. My Pentax did …"  Read Full Review »

"I swore I would never use the word "awesome" to describe a camera. Well, the 40D is one AWESOME camera. The 40D is just the perfect merger of the relatively) inexpensive price of the XTi,and the features and capabilities of the 5D and higher. Alas, it still has a 1.6x crop factor, but that is truly …"  Read Full Review »

"So far I have taken about 400 indoor sports photos. I've needed to push the ISO to 1600 to keep the shutter speed at an acceptable level. The IS lens also helps. I've taken most photos around 1/125th of a second. I've created posters up to 22" x 28" with acceptable results. The best feature is the a …"  Read Full Review »
