Anyone with a Canon 40D

Nice!

Me thinks the 40D performs well as does the handler.

The 50D's main advantage is an improved rear screen with a higher resolution display and the higher pixel count, although as dpreview found that's not always a good thing. That's a lot of cost for relatively little improvement.
I long ago gave up the pixel count race. To me my 20D 8 Mpixel gives me more than enough quality. The 10 Mpixel 40D should be just fine for most users.

Cheers NigelT to be honest I'm really shocked how little noise there is at the ISO level that was taken at. Not the sharpest by any means the otters just don't stop moving! (Needed 250th plus really) Add a little noise reduction and to the layman you would have a decent enough print

Hi all

I have just at end of last week purchased a 40D - VERY NICE - I am hoping that this weeks good weather will last so I can go out and have a blast.

Loads of interesting features. It is going to take a little while to come to terms with I think after the 350D. Cant wait.

I have mounted it on the 50-500 Sigma and find it much more worthy of that lens. The 350D looks like a gnats bite on the end of such a big lens and cant handle the image I found. This I hope will return some good results.
