REVIEWS / POINT AND SHOOT / CANON INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED

Canon EOS 40D

01 Jul, 2008, 6:45 pm IST | Laiq Qureshi | Point and Shoot

The 40D uses the 1390mAh Li-Ion battery, and while the manual claims 1500 shots without flash; I got about 800 pictures with minimal to average flash usage. Of course, you can use the battery extension if you want more.

The camera costs Rs 64,990; this obviously puts it beyond amateur photographers, and into the realm of serious work. The settings are extensive, and the colors are just right, offering the right tonal response. The large screen LCD, fast picture turnout, and lack of artifacts, will be well-appreciated.

Apart from that, the amount of control you have over the various features, along with the small tweaking, is just what you will need. Things like Live View make it an even better deal.
