Canon 40D
Amazon has leaked out the specs of the eagerly awaited 40D that many Canon shooters have speculated about since (or actually even before) the release of 30D. Looking at the specs, it looks like I will be missing out on 2 of the 3 features I had on my wish list. 3″ LCD yes, ISO 50 no, and channel histogram… well it isn’t specifically mentioned in the specs so I assume that it’s missing, otherwise they’d mention it as a new feature (or was it already included in 30D? I don’t know actually). But what I’ll get instead is improved weather sealing, I hadn’t even dared to hope for it. My camera rain guard has worked well, but it’s reassuring to know that some stray drops won’t damage the gear.

Considering that my 20D is still working fine and the increase from 8 to 10 MP is no big deal and I won’t get all the features I had hoped for, it’s a fair question to ask why I would want to upgrade my camera now. Well, a fair question for anyone who isn’t a photographer! I know I’m in for some serious queuing to get a new 40D…
Amazon pulled out the 40D page while I was writing this post, but someone over at dpreview was kind enough to take a screen shot. Canon should officially announce the camera tomorrow.
