Canon EOS 40D 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
The Canon 40D is one of the best prosumer cameras of all time. Well built, feature rich, and quite fast, the 40D is about as much camera as most people will ever need. Even though it has been superseded by the 50D, the 40D remains on many store shelves, making it an excellent buy.
Offering a frame rate of 6.5 FPS, 9 point auto focus, 10.1 megapixels, and a nice, big 3 inch LCD screen, hobbyists and pros who demand a full range of features will be quite satisfied with the 40D. I had the opportunity to use one myself on a wildlife safari in Africa, and was quite impressed with how well the camera performed in getting photos in split second conditions with running animals. The photos were in focus, sharp, and overall very nice looking. A testament to abilities of the 40D.
