Canon EOS-40D, first impressions
November 14, 2007

Mong Kok KCR Station, Hong Kong
After six-hundred frames in HK... I can sort of say the following few things about the 40D improves upon the 20D. I don't have a 5D or 1D-series so those are out of the question.
The Pros:
- Lower noise - Clean images at ISO 3200 plus hi-ISO noise reduction actually works!
- Much quieter shutter - Almost inaudible in the typical environment.
- Full-time ISO display in the viewfinder!
- Image quality is miles ahead of the 20D.
- Picture-styles rock! Overall better tonality and dynamic range!
- Customize!! So easily to customize and save then into presets
- Big, bright viewfinder. Much improved.
- Faster-focus (just a feeling but it's snappier)
- Quicker write and longer buffer.
The Bad:
- Screen is lovely and large but gets facial oils in a hurry!
- Needs firmware fix for Adobe Camera Raw
