I've done it again and bought myself a "vintage" in digital photography.
After I get a bigger analog Canon equipment, got paid more by chance I naturally wanted the 3.5-5.6 / 28-135IS USM to try a digital camera.
As I have been photographing in recent years only with Olympus OM-D E-M5 and Pen E-P5, the difference is already severe.
You have to get used with pentaprism at the weight and completely different system.
First, I can say that the Canon will come only from time to time as a collector's item for use, now I know what the Olympus is able to do and what stunning picture quality have the system cameras today.
Nevertheless, the Canon do an honest DSLR with excellent image quality up to ISO 800, more you shall not be.
The menu is simple and clear and there are no gimmicks.
It's a camera without video, countless scene modes, WiFi, GPS or other to take pictures disturbing accessories.
One can thus only take pictures and very good.
The picture quality is perfectly adequate and discounts for 8 years after the introduction of the camera with its 10.1 MP and in normal view top.
Prints up to A2 are safely feasible and of very good color reproduction and sharpness.
100% and more views is something for fetishists pixels and test labs.
Joe Public never does so anyway, who wants to ordinary photos and no poster enlargements.
I had the Canon 550D and 60D, the 40D is that in every way, at least in terms of photography, anything they can not, they need not even be yes a camera and no GPS with GPS or similar.
Get the camera as a "vintage" but must use Collectible Saying System cameras can use it in most areas of photography just as good and sometimes better, the technology is indeed progressed.
Despite full marks because the image quality is great and I even this review, making for me with a camera sense.
It's fun with the good old piece of technology to photograph, only the weight bothers enormously after some time.
For those who desperately want a DSLR, I recommend to zoom to keys with such an "older" camera.
