This pic can't be real, can it? That D40 looks WAY Small!
Seriously, I have HUGE hands, and an un-gripped 30D looks like a toy in my hand, but it doesn't look close to that small lol...

Let me answer that with another image:

1D mk III w. 24-70L and flash (w. fong bong) next to the D40 w. kit lens.

I'm a big guy myself, but I like my 40D. The D40 is a TOY! Makes great images, no doubt, but I was afraid to break it! :lol:

Yeah, the D40 is tiny! and yes, it's much smaller than an un-gripped 30D. It also weighs like nothing. My ipod is bigger than it...

That guy must have huge hands though. I've held a D40, and yes, it's really small, but it's about the size of a Rebel.
