Canon 40D Review

A new Canon 40D Review has been posted by Sydney Morning Herald. The Canon 40D review praises the extra megapixels, the larger LCD screen, the internal cleaning mechanism but gives the verdict that Canon EOS 40D faces stiff competition from Nikon, Sony and Olympus E-3 DSLRs. Here's the verdict (but you should read the full Canon 40D review):

This is a fine camera with worthwhile advances on its predecessor. Canon has dominated this segment of the market for DSLRs between $2000 and $3000 but now faces stiff competition. The Sony A700, the Nikon D300 and the Olympus E-3 are all coming soon, which means four superb cameras to choose from in the price range. Camera shops have already discounted the 40D to about $2600, so expect some serious price cutting.

PS: I am not going to be happy with price drop. Plus I think the battery unit on Olympus E-3 makes it look like a caveman-age camera.
