Even the flash has its own motor instead of just a spring loaded mechanism.


does this mean that the recylce time for the internal flash would be much better than say the 400d...

I think he meant to say the shutter uses two motors for open and close instead of one motor and a spring loaded mechanism. To the best of my knowledge, this would no affect the recycle time for the flash.

sorry if im a bit slow - but is this an internal mechinisim of some sort on the body

or is that just cause the lens is better that comes with the 40d

Internal.

You are not even close to crazy.

I bought my 400D kit in May. Then, EF 50 1.4, sigma 10-20, EF 28-135 IS, EF 70-300 IS, 17-40L and ...............
I bought a 40D today.

i see

i thought it was more the lens / glass

but i guess its both what u said as well
