lol - don't you start... i was planning on buying a big tv for nearly as much as the camera (body)

Well, technically speaking the 40D is only faster at writing to the card, faster at starting up, faster fps, better ISO, AI servo tracking for sports, bigger display and has a nicer build to it. However if you take a shot on the 300D at ISO100 and 40D at ISO100 I doubt you'd be able to say which is which. Spend the money on a lens.

Sure you wouldn't want one of these instead?

Infact how about of these better zoom

petemc · 16-02-2008, 22:51

Have to agree with this. When I upgraded from a 300D to a 30D, I didn't do it for image quality. Good job really as I noticed no difference. The 30D is just loads faster and I think I'd be completely lost without my 2 wheels now. Bigger screen was a nice to have too.

The auto dust shakey thing would be useful on the 40D... assuming it works well??? I'm not arsed about the live preview feature because I prefer looking through the viewfinder, so I'm a bit set in my ways

What do you have? I thought it was a 350D. Have you upgraded moddum??

lostkat · 18-02-2008, 19:30

OOOOO!!!!!! I've no idea what I was thinking actually

Perhaps I was thinking of Pebs' camera... she has a 350D, right? I lose track!! I still think my 30D is new and it's well over a year old, hehe.

I do like the 40D, I think I will stick with my 400D for a few more years then hopefully pick up used or sale 40D
