"Negatives? We're always more critical of cameras such as the EOS 40D, which come with such a strong heritage, but even with that in mind it's truly difficult to find any serious issues. Automatic white balance in artificial light is still pretty poor, there's no indication of the tone curve applied by different Picture Styles and continuous shooting speed wasn't quite as fast as specified, but really, we’re splitting hairs here."

What no mention of the continuing lack of a mirror lock up button!!

Looks a stellar camera that canon seem to have perfect for the price.

You could always use a custom mode option for that mate, it's a great little camera, had mine a few weeks now.

[poah]

looks like the negatives are kinda pointless and only put in for effect which is basically the same as anyother review I have seen. not sure why they test it against the D200 though as its not in the same group IMHO, like wise people will compare it to the D300 when its released but the D300 will be significantly more expensive than the 40D

Oh I know (I have a 350d) but its one of Michael Reichmann's (LL) perpetual gripes...
