Canon 40D Digital Camera
The Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR keeps the exact same 35-zone metering sensor as previous models. There are many patterns available such as Evaluative metering, which is linked to all AF points and is automatically set in the Basic Zone modes, Centerweighted average metering, Partial metering, and Spot metering, covering about 9 percent or 3.8 percent of the viewfinder at center, respectively. The camera’s E-TTL II autoflash and 12 exposure control modes (11 AE modes plus manual) are the same as the EOS 30D SLR model. Based consumer research and feedback, Canon has added three Custom exposure modes. As an added convenience, particularly for wireless flash operations, users can adjust the flash settings of the Canon Speedlite 580EX II directly from the camera.
Pros: Fast, sharp, very flexible, intuitive and handles all situations well. Great picture quality for the price.
Cons: no integration of wireless flash controller
The Bottom Line: The 40D is a great step up from previous incarnations and gives you everything ambitious photographers needs to raise their skill to near professional level.
