No, a 40D is not a guitar. It’s a DSLR. And I bought it today (technically speaking: yesterday). It will replace my 350D (which I will keep as a backup camera), but boy-oh-boy: it’s a different world altogether. I like the new machine. It has the same processor as my Powershot G9 (a Digic III) and that produces very nice images. The 40D has a bit more megapixels (10 instead of 8) and it has a ton of extra features compared to the 350D. One that I missed from the start: spot-metering. And ISO-settings in 1/3-stops (so 100->125->160->200 and not 100->200). There’s a lot more, but these are the two I missed most when I switched from Fuji S2 Pro to Canon 350D.

No spectacular pictures yet, just a bunch of testing-testing-1-2-testing….
