I'm itching to get out and try it with my 100-400mm, coming from an XT it should be like night and day

This camera feels so different and so good in my hands even without the grip.

[Mynock]

Very nice.

hey tyger, where did you get that? im about to buy a 40D myself and haven't found any real good sources online at the moment. how much did you end up spending if you dont mind me asking? im looking at approx $1,300.00 with a lense is the best price i have found.

Grats on the camera, I have a 20d and love the larger body. I have a big hand

*drool*

*wants* :(

My camera wish list includes:
Canon EOS 40D - dSLR
Canon PowerShot S5 IS - Super Zoom
Olympus Stylus 790SW - Compact

I grow tired of my Olympus C-7070. I haven't been shooting in awhile and I don't know if I grow tired of my camera or just too busy. It's a decent camera, but it's a jack of all trades master of none camera. It does have wide zoom which is it's calling, but I don't really have a need for it. It's too big and bulky to be a nice point and shoot, but it's not got enough zoom (4x) to make it worth while for nature shots.

very nice! Grats!

I just got the 400D a couple weeks ago. the 40D would have been too expensive, especially since i don't have any lenses! :)

[Kevined]

Great looking camera!

I don't even have a digital camera yet. The only ones that I can afford to buy are point+shoots, and I'd rather use my 20 year minolta with roll film than have no control.

[WannaBrie]

Jealous!

[marshdesign]

nice camera! but what camera did you take the picture of the camera with? say that 3 times fast!

[Red Kittie Kat]

oh wow Tyger ... congratulations .... I'm in serious camera envy right now. I can't wait to see your photography as it is! Hurry, hurry take some pics!! :D

[Tyger]

cheers guys! I'm stoked!

D-Frag I'll PM you!

Marsh- I still have my Rebel XT :) The wife will be using it and I can still use it as a back up.

I've only took a few shots at home in the back yard but haven't got the chance to give it a good work out yet, but plan to this weekend.

I'm getting more into doing portraits so I felt like I needed a new body, got a few other toys coming my way to get started on a home/on loaction studio.

I'll post pics soon!

[Satchel]

Very nice... I'm also jealous!!

Can't wait to see the shots you take with it!

[deviled egg]

beautiful camera, post some pic you take with it! :)

[Virgo Nightingale]

Nice cam Tyger!

I need a digicam sooo badly. Mine is from 1999, it's only 2 megapixel and eats through batteries like buda at a buffet. I kid you not. A co-worker bought a Disney digital camera for her 5 year old daughter and it takes much better pictures than mine. :(

[cornfed]

Very nice, Tyger! I, too, am jealous!

Don't feel bad Virgo! I lost my digital. I think it's in the wilderness that exists under my teenagers bed. I'm too scared to look.

I think my phone takes comparable pictures...

[Virgo Nightingale]

Yeah, thanks for reminding me Jacki. Yes, there are cell phone cameras with better resolution than my digicam. *sigh*

:p

[Mynock]

I think I could draw on broacher's palm better and have it look better than your photos.

[frankster]

...and Broacher's palms are hairy!
