Just when you finished wiping drool off your chin from the introduction of Canon�s two new uber pro-style EOS Mark III cameras, the photography giant slips in to sate your DSLR technojones with its Mark III understudy, the 10.1-megapixel EOS 40D. Sporting a substantial array of new useful hardware and software advances, the 40D eclipses the performance of its 30D predecessor and propels it even closer to its loftier brethren.
What�s so great about this new pro-sumer shooter? Well, the list of changes and improvements on the 40D is actually pretty long, so let�s keep it to the stuff that�ll really rock your picture making. First, the 9-point focusing system is quicker and more accurate. It shoots six frames per second and, because it�s packing the tech trickle down pro line Digic III processor, the image buffering has more than doubled. Images are moved to the memory card faster and in more bit depth than its older 30D bro. There's been lots of hubbub about the �see what the chips sees on the LCD� live view function. It sounds cool and it works relatively well, but you can�t really shoot from the hip with live view. From a totally practical standpoint you really need to be set up on a tripod to get really sharp, accurate exposures.
