Customer Reviews

Excellent camera and lens5
I have had this camera and lens for 9 months. Beautiful photos. Love the "live view" for setting up to take photos with a tripod. Large sensor means excellent low-light capability. Fast start-up time. Extremely fast focusing. Love the ability to take 6 photos per second! Manual controls are wonderful and easy to use. Beautiful display. The EFS 17-85 lens is great (remember to multiply by 1.6 for comparable 35mm focal lengths). Am also using a SanDisk Extreme III CF card. This is a fast card.

Best of Both Worlds5
The combination of the Canon 40D and the 17-85 lens is tremendous. You have your normal lens, an excellent wide angle, and that 'little extra' reach with the 85mm range. And with the IS feature, you will always get outstanding shots!
If considering the 40D and want the perfect 'walk-around' lens, this is the combination you want.

great camera for the serious amatuer5
This was purchased as a gift for our son. As far as he is concerned it is all the reviewer promised. The pictures he and his wife have taken are vivid and gorgeous. They do lots of bird photography and candid people shots. The rapid shutter speeds on burst allow for some great captures and the lighting and focus are exceptional.
