Trusted Reviews on testing the Canon EOS 40D DSLR came to the conclusion that its “worth its steep price”. The camera impresses with its superior image quality and the ultra fast DIGIC III image processor. The 40D also boasts of a high-ISO noise control and it’s easy to make significant adjustments to exposure in RAW post-processing.

Verdict
“The Canon EOS 40D is facing a lot more competition than any of its predecessors, but still manages to set the benchmark for mid-range semi-professional DSLR cameras. Improvements to build quality, performance and image quality are a significant step up from the EOS 30D, and compare well with anything else on the market. “

Another website to cover the Canon EOS 40D DSLR extensively is Digital SLR Guide. The 40D as expected ended up impressing the website who recommend it for action photographers.

The Canon EOS 40D scored some brownie points for its Live View LCD, its speedy performance, its effective dust control system and its accurate auto focus. However the body of the 40D was found to be large and a tad bulky.
