Pros: Build quality is just amazing. Ergonomics just superb. Speed per frame not the fastest compared to ML cams but for me, it will do the job and I think for 99% of the people it will! Second hand prices are a no brainer in 2024.

Cons: For me none. But I am old, just as the cams I shoot my stuff with.... ISO settings above 800 will cause significant noise but in B&W I do not consider that a real problem as I shoot in RAW only, so post-processing through DPP4 or Adobe Photoshop7.0 ( or another photo editing program) still can produce some nice pictures.

Opinion: Without repeating myself, in my opinion this is one of the best cameras Canon has ever produced. The build quality, ergonomics and especially the color reproduction are top class. Just look at the photos taken here in the 40D section. Maybe my eyes are getting to old for pixel peeping, but personally I don't see much difference between shots taken with a 5D FF or a 40D at "normal" magnification. For a beginner who is just starting to learn how to take photos with a DSLR (perhaps outdated in a few years), an absolute bargain these days. Just buy a 2nd hand 40d between €50 - €100, an EF-s 24mm and/or an EF 50mm 1.8 STM and you're good to go! In short... seasoned photographer don't sell your 40d! In short...beginner photographer...just buy a 40d, it won't dissappoint you! Just scroll below to see the magnificent photo's!!

Pros: Great files, sturdy body, spartan, used price, light files

Cons: It doesn't reach one million six hundred thousand ISO and it doesn't have many functions that I don't need

Opinion: It happened to me by chance and I used it for some time and I also had a lot of fun with it. I was surprised by the results (I always shoot in raw). Having also used the 7D with which I have never shot felling, I must say that I have always preferred this one which I find very pleasant to use. With excellent optics, even cheap ones, and with adapters and vintage lenses, you have very good results. I'm sorry to part with it, like a toy that made us have a lot of fun.

Pros: Complete, intuitive, and nothing else to add perfect

Cons: Unsharp display

Opinion: We are in 2025 and I still shoot with canon eos 40d and I don't regret it because I still find that it is a truly perfect camera for any need, easy to use intuitive and very fast in shooting. Combined with the canon battery grip you can easily take 1 day of photos. The cons are the weight and the main display not sharp and we are talking about dated technology but anyway to date I can still recommend it to many of you.

Pros: Even today (2025) the photos taken with this camera are very beautiful.

Cons: Maybe it's outdated?

Opinion: I got this camera a few years ago and after taking quite a few photos on multiple trips, I resold it. Today I am reviewing and developing the photos and, I must say, the files he gives away are absolutely worthy even today that we are in 2025. I was amazed to see what beautiful photos I took with this old lady. I have several cameras to my credit but I must say that this one does not look bad at all. Even today I recommend it, the photos taken without mental blows, you adjust, take and then review them at home ... and you are happy about it. I recommend it.

Pros: Monolithic body, affordable cost, perfect for learning.

Cons: Sensor dated and yield at high ISO.

Opinion: It is an extraordinary camera: used socket for less than 100 euros with 3k shots, it returns in the hand a solidity of a true professional. Excellent ergonomics - I have quite large hands - each key is in the right place and easy to reach. Sufficiently customizable in the various menu settings. Excellent burst, the autofocus is not at the level of the most modern, except for the excellent central point. The sensor is now old, but I don't find it obsolete. Magnificent photos were obtained with this sensor, it is still extremely valid. Also for this reason I think it is perfect to learn: you can not recover errors in postproduction, but correctly exposing the photos produced are exceptional. The files are really good and light. For the price at which you can find today, you can not ask for more.
