Photo Grind!

Getting mine next week!!!

He is using the Canon EF -S17-85 f/4.5-5.6 USM IS.

Go for the 40D!

what lens are you using?? did all the D family have manual focusing?? like 500D??
tnx..because im thingking what SLR im buying if 40d or 500d..

OMG, I should have gottent his 40D long time ago. I waited and waited and 40D is wiped out from almsot everwyhere. So glad Adorama still has some.

well when i get the camera should i format the memory card emediatly?

Loving all your comments on all these great cameras! I just bought the 40D with the 17-85 IS. Only a few left in shops here in Ireland. Only problem i had was the price…€999 was the cheapest here and £823 in England which works out more. D90 is again a great camera 50D also but if i had the money i would get the D300. For now my 40D is going to keep me very happy…its an awesome camera and would advise anyone to go out and snap up the few remaining 40D’s that are left.

i have the same problem i like the nikon because it just feels better in the hand

hey camera fans,
im looking at 2 cameras, either the canon eos 40d or the nikon d90.
my backgraound is as a skateboarding photographer (toungue in cheek but thats what im using it for) aswell as everyday travel photos as i go about my life lol
im struggling to dcide between the additional megapixels and aperture capobilities (high speed shooting in low light conditions) of the d90 or the 6.5 frames a second of the canon. soz if i mad any idioty mistakes in this, but all helps good

You’re welcome, although success is not guaranteed. If you’ve not used the card after the format, you should be able to get most, if not all, data back. If you’ve already shot some pictures with it, chances are that you’ve really wiped the original data. Fingers crossed. I like the freeware utility pc inspector to recover lost data, but others might do the job just as well.

Thanks

yes, search google for recovery software.

This is a fantastic camera.

if you format your memory card on your canon camera can you get pictures back?

second hand 30d is also good with L lenses it will have very good images
30d sensor better than 40d

i skate as well and i have taken skate photos for a while. my advice is to get a camera that is pretty rugged because you dont want to be worrying about breaking it since when you take photos you are very close to the floor. I am using a canon 300d at the moment and it works fine for me but the processing is to slow so my advice is to buy a camera with a very quick processor since when people are trying tricks its pretty rapid

Yea it’s better to buy a 40d and use the money saved towards an L series lens. That’s what I did and I don’t regret it =0)

i am saving for a 40d or 50d

after watching all these videos im thinking the 40d is better because you can save the 310 bucks for better glass everyone has said get L series beacuse there the best

NICE CAMERA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You talk the talk, but can you take better photos with the D90 than the 40D?

If you think you’re a better photographer because of what camera you have, you are clearly a moron.

i am also a skateboarder who is into photography and such. i am planning on getting the rebel ti1. it has a fast shutter speed and also takes HD video. the framerate at full hd is only 20fps. thats where a vx1000/2000 comes in handy.

I’m going to a school on filmmaking, and am very into photography. I skateboard, and I want to take skateboard photography. I want something with a fast shutter speed, good picture quality, and not terribly expensive. I’m not a pro but have moved past amateur range. Any ideas on what I should get? thanks…

I have the 40D for a few months now. I got it with the kit lens EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM. This lens is a good “starter” lens but to really get the most out of the 10.1 MP CMOS Sensor get L lenses as soon as you can afford it. Canon L lenses are really fucking expensive… but worth every penny… the first image from L glass you take, you will immediately see a difference from the kit lens. Overall, I’m really happy with the 40D’s performance.

Hey, i’ve waited months to get the 40D at a good price, the 50D is out since some months now and the 40D is disappearing from stores every weeks till the sold all their 40D. I’m so gonna get mine the next week ! i’m so impatient, it’s gonna feet perfectly with my EF-S 10-22 USM

hope you like yours

I bought a 40 D today, pleased so far! Just going through initial stuff.
Word of warning – Though the shop I bought it in had some models left other shops didn’t have it because this model is no longer in production!
I suggest you be quick if you want this model!

I have the 40D and am glad I bought it. I take sports pictures for my local club and it has a very fast shutter speed. The EF-S 17-85 IS USM Lense bundled with the camera is good but not indoors I’d look at what lense suites your needs and go for that with the camera. I later purchased an EF 50mm f/1.8 lense which gives better pictures indoors and is ok for sports pics too (its cheap but good). Don’t forget the 40D uses EF fit lenses.
