And i have just gone an purchased a 40D. I would have loved the new high res screen! Darn it.

They have to have done something special to contain noise with 15.1mp on a aps-c sensor. Same pixel density on a FF sensor is over 35mp!

[350Wedge]

And to think i almost bought a 40D this week.... May have to hang on a little longer now to find a backup to my 1D

[BrightYellowTVR]

I ordered a 40D today (very good deal!), now thinking that was a bad move as the price will drop further once the 50D arrives. Tempted to cancel my order and wait (as I have mulled over my purchase for about 4 months anyway), however anyone know when the 50D is due to launch in UK?

Cheers,
Jon

think i will wait till canon announce it before i start getting excited

Indeed, how long has the 5D MK II been romoured to be "just around the corner"?

BrightYellow - where'd you order yours from, i'm thinking of getting a 40D

Hi,

I ordered mine today from www.ajpurdy.co.ukthey have some good deals on the 40D packages. However I have waited for a while to upgrade from my 300D and sods law says the moment I order my next camera its out of date! I then read this thread. I know you can never be ahead with technology, however its nice to at least have the latest model. I expect I will keep the 40D, as it has great reviews and is very good value for money IMO.

Cheers,
Jon

[BrightYellowTVR]

The 40D is a massive step up from the 300D in so many areas that for me it was just a question of value for money. I expect it to last at least as long as the 300d which is still going strong after 42,299+ shots (so far excluding the ones I have deleted!).

Its doing some clever pixel binning for lower resolution but better ISO sRAW's

[RobDickinson]

Its official and up on dpreview etc

RG says it'll have 1 to 1.5 stops advantage over the 40D, not too shabby!

With that reasoning you'll never get a back up at all

Looking at a 40D Anounce 50D so hang on for that,
Looking at a 50D Anounce 60D so hang on for that,
looking at a 60D Anounce 70D so hang on for that,



etc, etc, etc,

True.

This sort of tech moves too quickly to worry about residual values - assume that in 3 years whatever you've bought will be almost obsolete and you're fine!

[jokeruk]

Although, something to bear in mind - i've had a 350d on a semi permanent loan recently, but had to give it back - nothing wrong with it at all. I've since managed to borrow a 20D, and thats a cracking camera too - and its older than the 350D (but still 8mp).

Just waiting till i can afford my new one

[Bee_Jay]

This finally looks like a worthy upgrade from the 20D for me - never really could justify it with the 30D and 40D, not enough of a step up.

15Mp, VGA screen, 9 cross-point AF and 12800 ISO does it for me. I know the 12800 will be pants, but you can bet the 3200 will be amazing.

[350Wedge]

Looks to be in the shops October time so not too long to wait... I'll be buying one for sure although not right away.

Technology does move on at a fair rate but just because something is replaced doesnt mean its no good. I'm still using a 1D MKI with 'only' 4 million pixels which by todays standards many people would deem obsolete, but the quality of image i get is second to none.

A lot of the images i produce you would never know it was taken with only 4m pixels. A4 printing is no problem and even A3 isnt that bad at all, not that i ever need to print that big.

Even the 50D with 15 million pixels i'd still consider it a backup, it would certainly not be my main camera...

[m12_nathan]

I won't be rushing to send back my 10mp camera either, I've never printed at A3, nevermind needing more.

[Bee_Jay]

Agree - been using 20D since it came out and successfully selling prints from it - Tim recently did a 60"x40" canvas for me and it was stunning.

I think the only reason I would like more resolution would be to give me more freedom in cropping in some of my portraiture. To be honest it's the better performance at higher ISOs/quieter shutter/better AF that really make me want to go from 20D - 50D.

A bit o/t, but how do I know how many shots I've taken with my 300D?

[thefloatingfrog]

Yesterday I was in a Curry's store in Harrogate demoing the Canon Eos 40d, love it! I was slightly put off by the megapixel count so decided not to buy it there and then... and after today's announcement I think I made a good decision! I think I'm still gonna buy it, but I'm gonna wait till the price crash. For a cheaper price the 10-megapixels will look more inviting.

Wonder how low the 40D will go, canon won't want it clashing with the 450d.
