Product Description
The EOS 40D combines Canon's tremendous know-how in both the digital and photographic worlds, creating a camera that not only does everything one would expect of a traditional digital SLR, but one that incorporates staggering leaps forward in technological innovation. With features like Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System, Live View Function, a more powerful DIGIC III Image Processor, plus a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, a 3.0-inch LCD monitor and more, the EOS 40D elevates digital photography to new heights, enhancing the shooting experience, and delivering images one could only expect from a Canon. + Canon EF 28-135mm standard zoom lens delivers sharp, natural-looking pictures virtually ever time. The lens is particularly handy for places where flashes are prohibited, as it excels in dim lighting without requiring a flash or a tripod. Other features include a ring-type USM for swift, silent autofocusing and full-time manual focusing; a close focusing distance of 20 inches; and a maximum aperture of f/3.5 to 5.6. Ultrasonic Motor for fast, silent autofocus. ++PLUS++ 4GB DELUXE ACCESSORY KIT: Loaded with extremely useful accessories

 Canon EOS 40D Digital Camera July 21, 2008

The 40D is a quality product and all I expected. However, I stepped up from a Kodak DX6490 with 10X optical zoom which took incredible pictures. At this early stage of learning my new Canon, I have yet to exceed the quality achieved with my Kodak. Hopefully, I will soon learn the potential of my new camera.

This is by far one of the best deals you can find online for the Canon40D. This review is for the packaged SLR deal which included the following
- Canon40D (new with warranty)
- 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
- Spare battery
- Monopod
- Tripod
- LCD screen protectors
- Bag
- Lens cleaning kit
- 4 GIG compact flash card
- SLR DVD
- USB reader
Honestly, the purchase is worth the price with just the camera + lens + spare battery + 4 GIG card. That was my main reason for purchasing such a package since this would be my first SLR and I was starting off from scratch. Hence, I would recommend this type of package for anyone interested in purchasing an SLR for the first time and want an excellent prosumer camera.
The bag itself is a standard camera bag. It works well by itself and a single lens attached, but I found it difficult (if not impossible with the out-of-the-box velcro pieces) to configure the inner pocket to hold the camera with an attached lens and 2nd spare lens. You will probably want to upgrade from this in a matter of days if you intend to take a lot of photos. It works though and nice to have if you have nothing to start with.
The DVD is kind of pointless, but it is aimed towards people who are very new to SLR cameras and have little to no understanding of the advanced features that you don't get out of a point-and-shoot. It was worth 30 minutes of my, but if you are really new, you'll probably want to pick up a good book at the bookstore. It's worth the price to pick up either the 30D or 40D Handbook.
The 4GIG card is practically a must if you intend to shoot at the highest resolution. Not to mention that if you even *THINK* about using the rapid shot at ~6.5 frames/second. Your memory goes fast at those speeds!!!
The screen protector is also nice for such a beautiful 3" screen. It comes with the package so you really should just put it on before you even snap your first picture.
The camera has an excellent battery life! Lithium batteries are the way to go for any camera, especially for the fact that they're rechargeable. I have yet to open the second battery because the battery life of a single battery is just so good. You could go a whole day without needing to replace them.
The memory card reader is standard, so I really don't need to comment about it. This is the same for the tripod and monopod. I have yet to even use them, but I guess I have them if I need them.
