What do you all think of the new 40D? How do you think it will do in weddings? From the very early reviews so far, it seems high ISO performance is equal to or greater than the 30D which is good news!

It looks great...fantastic. The 20D & 30D both had great image quality and low noise...so I can only assume that the 40D follows suit. Not to mention all the other goodies that have been added.

The 40D looks fantastic.

I mean, highlight tone priority, weather resistant, 6.5fps!, 3.0inch LCD, the new AF system, integrated cleaning system, live view, 14-bit RAWs, Auto ISO!, RGB histograms, user-preset modes, wireless available now, so on. You really can't go wrong.

Yup, I think we will be buying one. Now just to decide on a piece of primary glass for wedding shoots...I think I change my mind every day!

40d? There's only one choice, the 17-55 IS.

Put it this way. I have the 24-70L, 24-105L, and 17-55. For the last couple weddings, I've been using the 17-55/30D as my primary, and the 1D mark III and 70-200 for my secondary. The assistant gets her pick of the 24-70 or 24-105.

And then I had to send my 24-70 in to canon. corner softness was HORRIBLE.

Yea, that's what I'm thinking. Just curious, how often do you throw your 10-22 on for some shots? It seems like such a fun lens!

camera is great. Lens choice is not as exciting. The 1.3 is almost like this bastard child that nobody cares about. The focal lengths of your lenses are just... weird. like the 24-70 is a 31-91. Have you ever seen a lens in that range? It's just not wide enough by a hair which is frustrating.

And there are NO canon ultra-wides for it either. sheesh. So I've HACKED my 10-22 to mount onto the 1D3. Finally, an interesting lens to put on that body. They need to make like a 21-68 which would be perfect! But no, canon never will..

as mentioned in the previous post, I love the 10-22 so much that I hacked it to mount onto the 1D3. So it's now an EF 10-22. I use it at every wedding. It's my go to lens for the dancefloor. I probably take over a couple hundred shots with the 10-22 at every wedding.
