HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Who wrote this crap? When it comes to semi-pro and pro DSLR's Nikon has been swimming in Canon's wake for many years.]]>Sep 20th 2007 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/i love that the 5d fangirls are having a hissy fit with the reviews comparing the iq of the 40d and 5d as being on par ~_~

The 5D is full frame, true, but it's well out of this price range and really shouldn't be compared here. I would say these cameras (Canon x0D series and Nikon Dx00 series) represent the semi-pro market - and here, Canon is the one doing the catchup. Stop spreading unsubstantiated FUD.]]>Sep 20th 2007 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 20th 2007 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 20th 2007 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/
Have you used them? I'm thinking not.

The frame is magnesium, with rubber where it needs to be (the battery door is plastic, tho). There's dedicated WB and ISO buttons, and has been all along, which allow very fast changes (unless you're talking about setting a specific K value for WB, which does require a menu adjustment).

They're solid.]]>Sep 20th 2007 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 20th 2007 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 20th 2007 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 20th 2007 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 20th 2007 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/
If you have a supply of Canon lenses, you'll of course pick up the body only, but this is my first DSLR and will do as a mid-range lens. Of course, there's a few other lenses I need to grab as well.

- Live view is nice. Some don't like the resolution, could be higher, but it works for me.
- The burst is fantastic. I've got the 430 flash and with fresh batteries that thing will snap 30, before starting to miss.
- I tried out some 2gb compact flash cards and a 4gb microdrive in the camera. All work well, even with the burst. Of course, the faster/newer/bigger cards are written to faster. Currently 16GB are available. (Note: RAW+JPG photo = 16MB, which is the highest setting for the camera.) So, 16GB = almost 1000 photos. - No, I have not tried the 16GB card yet myself, but math is math.]]>Sep 20th 2007 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 20th 2007 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/
"The Nikon D200 satisfies a market that the Canon series does not?"

What market would that be? I hope you don't say Wedding/Photojournalist market, because that's not true at all. The 20D and now 30D and 40D have done a fantastic job in terms of performance in this market. I've used them for almost 3 years and at almost 100,000 pictures taken with each, my 20D is extremely reliable. I hate to sound like a Canon enthusiast, but it really is a fantastic camera for the price. Moving up to the D200/D300, as someone else mentioned, means your spending $500 more. If I'm going to be approaching $2000 for a camera, I'd MUCH rather spend just a little more than that and get a 5D, which offers a full frame sensor--which the D300 does not. ]]>Sep 20th 2007 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 21st 2007 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/Sep 21st 2007 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/canon-eos-40ds-early-review-roundup/
