Super WEEEEEEEE!
Ugh.. it was supposed to come on friday, but got delayed until monday *sigh* and i really thought the camera wasn't coming in b/c they didn't deliver it until 6:30PM! I waited from 10AM till 6PM and then went to go nap and then I hear a banging on the door... Jumped up and rushed to the door haha.

HAPPY NEW YEARS INDEED!

So far.. impressions are that the weight really makes the camera so much more balanced than the 350D and my keeper rate is MUCH higher. I love it

ooh, nice shot and great get on the camera. I kinda wanted one but I ended up getting the 1D classic...before my teacher emails everyone in the capstone class that we need to print at least 11x14 pics :-( should have gotten the 40D instead but too late. love my 1D. you will love your 40D. have fun!

congrats, I got one too... It's fun to let the motor drive set to astro blast. I love the 1.6 conversion, it helps with wildlife for me...
Happy new Year ... Enjoy

Congratulations on your new 40D!!
I got mine yesterday!! WOOHOO. It is charged and I am going hiking today with a EF 70-200 F4L attached. Only bummer is that it's really cloudy so lighting is terrible.

Cheers.

Help from Admins,

Admins,

Can someone please delete my duplicate posts here as I am not sure how they all popped up. Must of been a key that was depressed when I hit submit.

Thank you.
