No, a 40D is not a guitar. It’s a DSLR. And I bought it today (technically speaking: yesterday). It will replace my 350D (which I will keep as a backup camera), but boy-oh-boy: it’s a different world altogether. I like the new machine. It has the same processor as my Powershot G9 (a Digic III) and that produces very nice images. The 40D has a bit more megapixels (10 instead of 8) and it has a ton of extra features compared to the 350D. One that I missed from the start: spot-metering. And ISO-settings in 1/3-stops (so 100->125->160->200 and not 100->200). There’s a lot more, but these are the two I missed most when I switched from Fuji S2 Pro to Canon 350D.

No spectacular pictures yet, just a bunch of testing-testing-1-2-testing….

  1. In the mean time you’ve got some pics taken. And maybe not spectacular but surtenly worth showing of.
    And yes I know, my English stinks.
    How is the guitar doing?

  2. The 40D is great and makes great pictures (with a little bit of help by me).

    Don’t ask about the guitar….

  3. Yes C, it’s just ridiculous we’re replying in English while we all speak Dutch.

    Switch, isn’t there a WP-plugin for automatic translation of posts and comments? Can we have double fun.

    On-topic
    Drool (I’m speechless)

  4. A lot of topics I write about only attract foreign readers, so: no I won’t switch to Dutch writing, nor will I install a multi-language-auto-translate plugin. You know I’m Dutch, so you can comment in Dutch if you like.

  5. Hap! (gotcha, but the Dutch word is so much more fun)

    It’s ok Switch, I understand. But it would be fun if you would let your blog be translated from Dutch into Denglish. 🙂

    PS what plugin do you use for your comments?

  6. I don’t use a plugin for my comments.
