nice to see you have me on radar lock (i guess you have nothing better to do).

10D is capable of incredibly sharp pics with a good lens and steady hand even wide open.

Nobody said otherwise, but you managed to twist that fact into a snide dig at the OP's excitement in his new camera.

Whether or not another camera could do as well is utterly irrelevant to the point of the original posting - it is, in and of itself, a nice sharp 40D picture.

Nice kit!

Well, now that I see the pic resized for the web posted here it isn't so much a wow after all, the cymballs have little jaggies around them and whatnot. I'm still very happy compared to my 10D

I think you are right - it's a rubbish bad cam you got there - send it to me

Just kidding - a great first pic with no jaggies here either - congrats.

sorry, wasn't meant to be snide or a joykill it's just that a sharp photo is not something unique to the 40D.

the OP has a 10D too... which makes the post quite surprising.

i mean are we total homers here in that every new canon dSLR, lens and accessory is a huge advancement to our photography? i didn't realize POTN is supposed to only work that way so if it is then lesson learned and apologies.

congratulations! hope to see the next nice-shot.
