I say GO FOR IT!


The 40D is a solid performer, and will deliver great AF performance, especially when used with USM lenses.



I recently made the same upgrade, involving the same decision: What do I need, and what do I want. I found that I didn't need 15MP, and sure, a VGA screen looks nice, but I would never pay >$400 just for the 5 MP and screen. It just doesn't make sense to me.


So I got the 40D. It is an amazing camera - You'll have a lot of fun with it.
