I have an MIII and also IIN and 20D bodies. It somewhat is a pain in the butt that they all have totally different controls. Has anyone been able to compare the 40D and MIII controls to tell if they are pretty much the same? If so, I very well may go ahead and get one to make my life a little easier while I wait out the AF issue before buying another MIII (mine seems to be perfect, but not wanted to mess with success).

What I'm concerned about is image review, zoom, settings, etc.

I have both and they are very similar. I went through the CFs of the 40D and tried to set them to as close as possible, there are still some differances, but its close enough for government work.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. Trying to use a 20D with a Mark II in the past wasn't a fun thing to do.
