Reassigned buttons on top of camera
Non-customizable Picture Styles and Direct Print buttons

Lacks body-based image stabilization

Kit lens doesnt really reach ...
Over crowded buttons
Fussy button/dial combinations

Relatively sluggish low-light focus.
Heavy
Gets noisy above 800 ISO
Live View—I still don’t get it

Still very poor under incandescent light

Not absolute)

In de zeven modellen van EOS D30 tot en met 40D is heel wat veranderd. De beeldsensor en processor zijn met sprongen vooruitgegaan en ook de DSLR camera zelf is sterk verbeterd. Kun je nog voorstellen dat je met een 1,8-inch scherm achterop de camera helemaal blij was...

Abstract: Vid första anblicken är det inte så lätt att se vad som är så speciellt med nya EOS 40D. Efterföljaren till EOS 30D ser inte ut att skilja sig nämnvärt från föregångaren. Knappar och reglage är placerade på nästan samma ställen, skärmen är visserligen ...
