Lol I Still Disagree Keith ... I know the Difference's Sir I promise You and You listed
only Half of Them but to say It's Totally different is Still in My Opinion not True,
Bet Your Glad You got that new Dust Shaker eh
... I think You mentioned that ...
Good Ain't It
,
I saw Your Post's about the 40D before You owned One ... You knew then the
Difference between 40D and 30D ... But You were Still Hesitant and Rightly so ...
I won't be a Tester for Any Company and Find the Fault's ... But Once You Bought
One You actually Saw the Difference ... This is What I'm saying with a 400D ... Unless
You Really own One You'll see there is'nt as much Difference as You may think,
As for FPS ... That all depend's on the Light ... I think 1/4000 is good enough for now
and I can Programme the 400d too ... Custom setting's aswell,
Menu Structure is'nt an arguement too ... Once You know the Camera that ain't a Deal,
I would'nt use 1600 never mind Higher ... I just would'nt but that's Me,
I've seen the Noise Level at It's Highest on the 40D and It is Incredible ...
But I'll never generally be in a Position to use that Much ...
800 is Great on a 400D,
Lcd has the same Pixels but the 40D Spread's them Half an Inch more ... So Half an
Inch more but same amount of Pixels, Image Size is also Identical, Mirror Lock up too
is on the 400D Through Custom setting's, There is 11 custom functions with 29 settings ...
Don't think I need anymore as I never use One lol,
Highlight Priority is an Excellent Feature ... That's One Reason I'm Buying It to be
Honest ... But You never mentioned the Drawback of using It Keith ... The Increase of
Shadow noise and of course Lower Dynamic range effect's on Lower end Exposures ...
Not also forgetting that "HP" WILL Effect ISO, These are Fact's that are never
Given ... But We can't have Everything Can we lol,
I'm not sure the 40D has a Proximity sensor ... Hope so as It's great on the 400D,
The 6 FPS, IQ and HP are what I'm after ... The rest i'm not too bothered with and I'm
also Happy that the 40D Has the Same Tab Menu as the 400D ... Better layed out,
We won't argue the 14 Bit compared to the 12 Bit of the 400D, as This IS a let down
on the 40D ... I was Hoping that would be better but It's not ... You won't see a
Difference between the Two, Post Processing is the Only Difference in 14 and 12 ...
Not in the Camera,
I could Go on about the Difference's All Day ... And so could You ... But as
for being Totally different Camera's is not right ... I wonder if the 40D took
any feature's from the 400D ... Truth is ... It did
,
I appreciate your View's All the Time Keith ... But You ain't Right about It
being a totally different Camera ... You need to stop comparing the 40D
with The Prehistoric 30D Layout ( Not Quality of Course, ) and see what a
400D actually does In the Field and of course ... On Paper
,
Hope You take this all as My Opinion and of course the Fact's ... I still Rate
You as a Top Photographer ... But not Your Comparison
,
See You in the Field with My 40D :t: ,
Take Care,
John,
