 Great pro-starter camera.Dec 04, 2008
This is a great camera for someone wanting to get started in professional digital SLR photography. It's going to be a great backup camera for us as well, it does decent in low light and not much issue with noise, though 3200ISO is pretty much unusable due to the high noise, but 1600ISO is quite acceptable if you have to get the shot. Great price now too and well worth it. Though I don't understand why people buy these cameras thinking they'll do better than a point and shoot if they're never going to take it out of Auto mode, and never going to by an external flash. If you plan on using this camera like a point and shoot consider getting the G10 instead, as it's an awesome little pocket camera and does right for the job! :)
 Excellent Camera and Amazon Service!Nov 27, 2008
Excellent price and service. Only minor complaint is the packing from Amazon was less then perfect. Packed in a large box, but camera was packed in one corner of box, all padding was off to the side. Coming from a 300D and 10D, this camera is a big improvement! I highly recommend the 40D with all the discounts available right now.
I LOVE IT!Nov 26, 2008
The quality of the pictures is amazing. The more I use it, the better, the picture. There is so much to learn, but that is what makes this camera so fun to use. Very easy to learn on.

Just what the photographer ordered at a better priceNov 24, 2008
Great camera! Perfect the advanced amateur and the beginning professional. A great camera to grow with as well. the camera is managed by buttons on the back rather than an involved menu. Hence it is easier to learn and easier to make adjustments while shooting. I upgraded from the 20D and it was worth the price of admission. With the introduction of the 50D, prices on this model came down. the bigger LCD is great and so it the option to magnify an image before moving on.
I would highly recommend this camera.Canon EOS 20D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

Custom functions make this camera a breeze to useNov 11, 2008
I have owned this camera since June 2008, prior to this shot with Canon's PowerShot G2. So my review is based on upgrading from an old but still very good point and shoot camera with manual controls to a modern SLR. Since there are obvious difference between the two I'll concentrate on some of the features I like: Custom setting (C1,C2,C3) and the My Menu setting.
The 40D has a multitude of options available, highlight recover, iso noise reduction, mirror lock up, bracketing, live view, etc... but generally you don't need all of these options all the time, that's where the custom setting function comes in handy. Swapping between different shooting profiles is as easy as turning the dial.
Another feature I like is the My Menu setting as you can put your "favorite" menu items on this page giving you quick access to them as some of the settings are a few menus deep in the system.
Learning how to use the 2 features above to your advantage makes the camera that much easier to use.
