Canon EOS 40D on the way? {Engadget}

Feb 25th 2007 2:35AM The 30D, 20D, 10D are all perfect for amateur and college photographers. And so will this new 40D. However they might as well be considered disposable quality for professional use. It’s not if, but when they will fail when in use.

I still heavily use my Mark II’s I bought years ago. In most forums, it’s hard to find someone still writing about how their 10D serves them well in their business today. Plus Uncle Sam compensates me for my Canon gear every year. What does a few K matter anyway?

The 40D is more a product from the Canon Marketing Department than from the Canon Engineering team, unless the later hails from ITT-Tech.
