Hmm, the Canon Hong Kong includes PDF manuals in Traditional Chinese. Are these available in English somewhere?

Is the the Zeiss 50 f/1.7 that much better than the Canon 50 f/1.8 to justify the cost of the adapter and the loss of AF vs the cost of the Canon - I got mine on eBay 2 years ago for $50 ...

Hey Puppy Face ...

 

Is the giveaway the colour (white vs black) or the bodybuilding required to hold them up that is the giveaway?

I don't know if the 40D is overpriced but I agree that anyone in the market for a Canon DSLR should evaluate their needs/wants against the 40D and the 400D.

 

Let's face it, you can buy two 400D's for one 40D ...

Except for Bob's new camera - anxious to read your review Bob as the 40D looks like a good successor to my 10D ...

"Consider the limited life of digi cams too. Some of my Leicas are 50 years old. My nikon will be in a landfill long before then."

 

"Limited Life" and "Obsolescence" are often mis-used terms. Just because newer more advanced models become available doesn't mean the older ones start degrading or stop functioning.

So, will this Canon 40D be as good as my Instamatic?
