Shoot like a pro with Canon's remarkable EOS 40D. This feature-rich SLR camera offers the ruggedness, speed, and versatility needed to satisfy even the most demanding photo enthusiasts. Its powerful 10.1-megapixel image sensor and sophisticated image processor work together to deliver highly accurate and detailed photographs. And it comes supplied here with a top-notch Canon 28-135mm image stabilizing zoom lens. This combo offers plenty of advanced shooting options, plus the superior low-light performance and blur-fighting capability provided by image stabilization technology.

Self-cleaning 10.1-megapixel image sensor
At the heart of the 40D is Canon's advanced CMOS sensor. The CMOS design provides a wide dynamic range, allowing you to preserve subtle photographic details of complex subjects, like sunny highlights on a subject with plenty of shadow. Canon also engineered it with special on-chip noise reduction to produce less visible grain, resulting in sharper images over a wide range of ISO (light sensitivity) settings. You'll enjoy clean-looking shots even in low-light shooting conditions. Plus, an integrated cleaning system ensures your images remain spot-free by using ultrasonic vibration to remove dust particles from the sensor.

Lifelike color and fast shooting
Canon's sophisticated image processor delivers natural-looking color and accurate white balance levels. It also allows astonishingly fast continuous shooting — you can capture up to 75 high-res photos in a single burst at a blazing 6.5 frames per second. Save your images to optional CompactFlash® memory cards (no memory included).

3" LCD with live view capability
The feature-rich 40D offers plenty of other cool extras as well. You get a huge 3" LCD screen that provides clear views for sharing pictures with friends. It also boasts a live view mode that lets you compose photos on-screen in real time — just like you would with a point-and-shoot cam. And you can easily magnify any portion of the image by 5X or 10X for more precise manual focusing. Canon's colorful menu system provides easy, intuitive camera operation.

Rugged SLR design
Canon wraps all this versatile technology in a durable magnesium alloy body. This gives the cam a solid, substantial feel and protects it from the rigors of heavy use. And the 40D's SLR design means you can expand your shooting options. There are dozens of impressively sharp Canon EF and EF-S lenses, and several powerful external flashes available separately that are all fully compatible with this camera.
