Is there a way to keep the info display on like when you press the info button all the time? The one that shows shutter speed, aperture, etc on the LCD itself.

I don't know why you'd want to do that - it will cut your battery life by a huge amount. Wow, what a nice picture! You must have a really great camera!

It's not like you are working an event and need to shoot continuously for 4 hours. There are no rules for a good photograph and there are no excuses for a bad one.

If all the time then no the 40D cannot do this but if during preview display when you get the desired display stop pressing info and it will always display this view for you.But as for battery life i found that if i had preview display set i would get 800 photos from a battery but with preview display disabled i get 1300 shots, so yes it eats your battery having the lcd coming on all the time. I prefer to be in the bush with the animals than a crowded city.
