O.K., just for the fun of it.
You are the person in charge of creating the Canon 40D for release in September.
Will it be revolutionary? Evolutionary up from the 30D? Your bosses tell you they want a winner...just as big as the 350D XT.
What will be the specs?
What will it be and how much will it retail for?
Again, just for fun.
