Cons:
None that I am aware of Going from the rebel XT to the 40D is a Dream !
The controls are perfectly placed .
After set-up you don't have to look away from the viewfinder, everything is easily accessible .
The focusing is easier , the images are sharper,
the camera is easier to use, the battery lasts longer,
and it is an overall sweet camera for less than $1500.
This camera has pro features without the pro cost.
I stand 100% behind this wonderful camera and would
suggest that this is the new camera you have been shopping around for .

price but wot the heck I was a former Nikon-man till my brother told me about the Canon-series cameras. I tried once back in the early 90s and haven't looked back. This is my fifth digital camera, my first being the DCS520 (still available for purchase). What can I say about this that you haven't heard from others? I like the feel of it, very comfortable and easy to use. The controls are a bit strangely placed, but it just takes a little getting used to, as in any new equipment. I adore the heavy weight, as - IMHO - it adds to the stability of the control and balance of a good camera; you just cannot handhold a tiny/thin P&S too well. I especially LOVE the high-speed shutter and it's also sooo quiet! I wish I had this camera months ago while shooting a ballet performance!! This is a quality camera that was well thought-out and am pleased with the results!

Pros:
Greta Value for Money - A Real Semi-Pro |

|

Cons:
Lower buttons on rear may be activated when carried round neck. OK dealing with the negatives first - There are so few, but if the camera is on and I'm carrying it on th eneck strap there is a tendency to operate the buttoms on the rear bottom. Not a major issue, but sometimes annoying.
Having got that out of the way - this is an awesome camera in its price range. As with most cameras, you really do need to invest in a good lens but with my limited budget, I have still been getting way above average photos compared with previous cameras. Like computers, you need to future proof yourself as far as you can afford and this is a great choice if this is your budget.

Cons:
None that I know of. I upgraded from the Canon Digital Rebel XT. The 40d is just a great camera it has a good solid feel, the controls are easy to figure out and well placed, the shutter speed is fantasic fast at 6.5 fps, battery life is darn good at about 1000 shots or so.
I just cant say enough about this camera!
I will and have recommended this camera to anyone that wants a good professional level camera.

Cons:
None yet I'm getting to know my new camera and have fallen in love with it. I'm a veteran Canon digital user, and have the Rebel XTI, 30D, and guess what? I want the 5D next. I can only imagine what it would be like, because this one is PHENOMENOL and it's hard to get me to say that.
I love the fact that there's virtally no camera shake! In low light, sometimes things are a bit blurry, but that's not from shaking. I've gotten so many shots with this camera that I wouldn't have gotten at all, let alone as good, with another.
Two thumbs up, Canon. You have outdone yourself this time.

6.5 Frames a second, superb build quality, size, professional feel. |

Cons:
None so far I moved to the 40D form the EOS 350D expecting a far superior camera and I wasn't disappointed. The 350D now feels like a toy camerain my hand. I have never been a fan of small DSLR's and the 40D is a perfect example of a camera that just feels nice to hold. Superb build quality (not the creaky design that the 350D was), 6.5 frames per second (ideal for wildlife photographers like me), 10.1mp, live view (ok, I am still to use this but I am getting my 60mm Canon macro lens in a couple of weeks and I am sure this will come in handy).
Overall if you are a 300D, 350D or 400D user and fancy a more sophisticated, professional camera but can't afford to look to the single digit camera range (1D, 5D) the 40D is the camera you have been dreaming of. Highly recommended.

Just darn fun to play with! |

Cons:
autofocus at night I've done some just amazing shots with my 40D and I must say, it's just absolutely fun to play with. There are so many cool features to play with from the Live View to the picture styles. Picked up a few new styles from Canon's website and they have made some really spectacular shots siginifcantly cutting down on post production.
The 3-shot AEB is great for producing HDR's and combined with the 6.5fps, you can actually do hand held HDR's if you're still enough.
Combine this puppy with a 2.8f L series lens and you'll be smiling.
As for compairing this to the XT, the speed will be the first thing you notice, the lag between shots is siginificantly reduced and the shutter operates a lot quicker and smoother. Next you'll notice that your photos will also be a little clearer too, color seems duller, but more consistant and cleaner. But you can use the picture styles to modify that if you want more contrast.
The only two down sides I've seen is that in low light the autofocus will just keep adjusting and the shutter will refuse to fire. But if you switch to manual, it'll work fine. Also, some of my pictures appear to have a red cast over them. However, since I'm using my 40D in a desert and the temperatures tend to climb above 104F, that might be my fault.
The 40D has taken my photography to the next level without doubt.
