This photo of the back of the Canon EOS 40D shows some of the new external functions. The large 3 inch LCD screen is immediately noticeable, especially for owners of the EOS 20D (20D has a 1.8 "LCD). There is a new dedicated AF button on the top right and" Picture Style button (the button right of the screen below). Otherwise, the layout of controls should be very familiar to users of EOS 20D/30D.

True to the line, the Canon EOS 40D is very similar to their predecessors, especially the EOS 30D and 5D. From the rear, but there is one big difference: The 3.0-inch LCD. His influence on the design of the control is returned if he had four big buttons that normally move to the left of the screen, dressed down, below the LCD screen. When it comes to displaying images, Live View composition or change the settings menu is the large LCD.

The top cover of the Canon 40D is more familiar with only minor differences. The mode dial on the left has some additional icons, C1, C2 and C3, which are areas of convenient storage for frequently used settings, a welcome addition. optimized on the right side of the main difference in a special section on the status LCD on permanent display in the current ISO standard, the word "car" is another interesting addition to the 40D Creative as’ specific skills (is Auto ISO is the default in Full Auto and scene modes).

Although none of the cameras to support AA batteries (which some, including myself, prefer) of the box, which support some of their optional battery grips.

Would the battery life better? Then take the battery grip BG-E2 news. This has two BP-511A or six AA batteries, twice the battery life of the camera alone. You can use Grip BG-E2 of the age and use - the difference is that new watertight compartments with climate. Both clips are additional buttons that are practical for inclusion in the portrait orientation.

If you shoot in portrait mode, especially when taking in that long, a portrait of accessories / vertical grip is a great victory. It gives a much more comfortable and stable "dslr battery grip" on the camera body. There are many shooters for the Canon EOS 40D are (they attach to the bottom of the unit as shown above). The first 20D/30D to handle - the Canon BG-E2 (now deleted). The second is new at this time Canon BG-E2. Add This handle is not surprising that the "AF-ON", but a little time stamping.
