Another, another 40D is here thread.. Does the congo'bongo? Now FEAT ISO samples
Okay so I never post a thread regarding buying new equipment because I normally don't see the point however, given the apparent fetish for buying these this week I thought I would do a thread myself given that this cam isn't even a day old yet.
I don't need to buy any camera to get an idea what its like because I research them in so much depth and have handled most on the market anyway but I really do love this camera. Its a new camera excitement I am getting which was missing when I upgraded the 20D to a 30D. This now feels like a dynamite upgrade.
What I love:
Magnified viewfinder (a much needed feature)
Buttons aligned at the bottom of the LCD (helps with viewing the screen with minimal distractions)
AF On (custom set this on AEL on previous models so I am happy its got its own button)
Solid flash hot shoe.
Body refinements are perfect. Feels like a proper piece of kit now.
Battery door is sealed and feels more solid with a cool eject feature.
CF Door more solid.
Body raised so is more comfortable and balanced to hold without a grip.
Canon logo looks nice and not like a massive white underline saying "pop up flash here!"
AF performance is excellent for this series of camera.
ISO viewfinder (at last)
Live view. Really good I find. Will use it when doing product shots and macro (hell of a drain on the battery however)
6.5 FPS (more n more like the Mark II every day. Very quick.
Shutter sound. No more crap slappy slappy that drove me bonkers. I preferred the sound on the 350D over the 20, 30D sound! Drove me bonkers!
What I don't like:
Print Button (Canon remove it or make a custom function so I can make it blink like a crazy disco!)
All images about were taken by its retarded brother... Rest in peace.
