    i actually have the EOS-3 with several lenses, not that small of a cam.. actually weighs a lot. i used a nikon FM2 for 8 years…

    ..buying the 40D would be a waste of money if you have no experience. and considering you’re 16 years old, you don’t. might want to consider a smaller camera.

    i saved up for a 40d by selling photographs.

    do you make similar photographs like the guy in the video?

    Nah, looks like the 17-85mm to me. You can’t zoom with the macro lenses.

    In the beginning it’s the 17-85 lens, and after a while, he uses a 100 2.8 USM makro. Great lens anyway

    Excellent introductory video.

    Personally I would also like to see another video focusing on using the 40D for night shots.

    Thanks. Looking for a camera that’s good for video and has antishake feature.

    Had an Olympus MJU700 that died just after waranty. Looked on net and found lots more people got the bluescreen of death error number so will never be buying another Olympus, hence my interest in Canon

    I have a 20d and its a great camera. If you go the canon route the first thing to buy extra is a spare battery. Theyre cheap on ebay.Also some decent lenses and make sure you get the uv filters to protect the lensMylens and accesoory list is
    1 spare battery
    2 spare cf card
    3 28 135 lens
    2 10 22 lens
    3 580ex flash and the wireless remote off ebay its called T-4
    4 1.4 50mm lens
    5 100 macro lens f2.8
    so far ive got the 28 135 lens lol theyre all expensive items.

    10 22 efs lens for landscapes and interiors especially if you want to sell photos. you can out your cam on a table opposite people and get them all in the shot. keep it level tho as it distorts.

    i personally own a 10-22 and from my opinion, this is with the 17-55 the Rolls Royce of the EF-S Canon Lenses. for portraits, architecture, landscapes et so much type of photos, this lens is just perfect !

    The only annoyed me about it is that Canon didn’t give a Lens Hood with it ! a friend of mine sold his 17-40 without the lens hood and gave it to me, if not, I would to pay extra dollars only for a piece of plastic..

    hey everyone!
    im looking at buying an SLR. The only problem is i can’t decide which one to get. at the moment its between the 40D and the 500D. the 500 has more megapixals and HiDef video. but the 40D is more solid and has faster FPS.

    Faster FPS > Mega Pixels.
