The new Canon EOS 40D is not exactly groundbreaking and we may think it’s just a 10D Mark IV but it’s a complete D-SLR package and that is hard to argue with. A true five-star D-SLR...

The £799 price-tag of the EOS 40D places it somewhere between the Nikon D80 (£510) and D300 (£1299) in the current market. That’s probably where we would place it based on features and handling too, as it’s not quite as rugged as the D300 but has more...

This semi-professional DSLR is the 10-megapixel successor to the EOS 30D, reviewed last autumn, and slots into Canon’s range between the budget 400D and the mortgage-baiting EOS 1Ds Mark III. The 40D is still pricey – at around £900 without le...

Built to last, bridges the gap between entry-level and pro DSLRs, warm colours and plenty of detail in the images, large LCD...

But something odd happened with the 30D. It was a semi-pro camera with an 8MP sensor when the cheaper model in the range - the 400D - had 10 million pixels. Canon's put that right with the EOS 40D, but the improvements in this camera go far beyond a si...

The EOS 40D succeeds the 30D as Canons digital SLR for the discerning photography enthusiast. £930 may be a lot to spend on a camera, but dont be misled by the unexceptional 10.1-megapixel resolution; theres plenty here to persuade you to part wi...

The EOS 40D replaces the 30D, which itself replaced Canons mid-range 20D model. These were all pitched above the basic entry-level 300D/350D/400D series, with metal build, faster continuous shooting and more advanced controls. But something odd happen...

The picture quality from the CMOS sensor and image processor is smooth, film-like and noise free even at high ISO settings. Dynamic range is as good as it gets, with detail well preserved both in highlights and shadows. The mechanical refinement of the...

The larger LCD is a low resolution affair, with 230,000 pixels, compared with nearly one million on the Nikon D300 and the Sony A700. This diminishes the usefulness of live view and also affects picture review. And there is no auto-focus assist lamp fo...

This is a fine camera with worthwhile advances on its predecessor. Canon has dominated this segment of the market for DSLRs between $2000 and $3000, but now faces stiff competition. The Sony A700, the Nikon D300 and the Olympus E-3 are coming soon, whi...

Theres a bundle of easy as pie first-time DSLRs out there but for those whove already ditched their compact cams, Canon and Nikon have just laid out some seriously tempting upgrades. At a whopping £1300 without a lens, Nikons 12.3MP D300 is the p...
