Ok, all nursing mothers need nursing pads.. we don't want any public wet suprises right? I found this brand to be extra thin and comfortable. I started out buying them at Targe or Walmart for $10.99 for a box of 30! I found them on Amazon because I was looking for a filler item (I needed to spend a

EOS Canon 40D
8/25/2008
I haven't really had the camera long enough to fully test it but so far, it is outstanding. I've always been a Canon shooter so the feel and functions are familiar. I like it.

Thank You.

Great Camera, Solid Build
8/24/2008
This camera surpassed my expectations and then some. Great speed and battery life. Damn near instantaneous start up times and lots of great features usefull to pro and semi-pro photographers. Make sure that whatever size CF card you get that its fast. I recommend the SanDisk 8 or 16 gig Extreme III. With this card I have basically zero lag between the card and camera. As quick as I can take the pics, this card is able to write them. Dont get any of Extreme IV SanDisk cards because you are just wasting your money , since the Canon 40d cant even handle the Extreme IV speeds. Rumors are saying the new version of this camera will be out at the beginning of the year , so if you can wait untill then do so, but if your like me and couldn't wait and needed this Camera right away then go for it. Great investment. 5 Stars NO DOUBT.

Thank You.

Worth the upgrade over my Canon 30D
8/23/2008
I upgraded from a Canon 30D to 40D. I felt the extra features, newer technology and the difference in price over a 30D was worth the money. Things I like about the 40D right away were; larger lCD, double the FPS (which allows the 40D to compete with the 5D and older Mark II's for HDR and action shots), improved menus with ISO information, and the new 14bit A/D color sensitivy.

Things I don't like are the LiveView(it's hidden in the menus), the printer button, size of the sensor, and a lack of new technological features.

Thank You.

Just a great camera!
8/21/2008
There's really nothing more that I can add to the already excellent reviews...except to just echo what just about everyone is saying -- this is a great camera. In fact, in the sub-$1000 range, I don't think you could possibly buy another one. I checked three or four of the leading photo magazines and e-zines....and they all rave about this baby. And I have to say, I agree.

I use to shoot for fun with my old Canon AE-1, which started back in high school in the late 80's. That camera eventually broke a few years ago, and I gave it away to someone who could fix it. Since then, I've tried to scrape by with a few cheapies, but they were not the kind of camera that made you really want to go out and take pictures.

Then I started borrowing my uncle's now-fairly ancient 10D, and the love of picture taking came back.

The 10D-40D series are cameras that makes you want to take pictures. That was probably the main reason I purchased the 40D over the Rebel 450D -- this one just feels so much more sturdy in the hands. The higher resolution on the newer 450D (12mp vs. 10mp) really doesn't make a lot of difference for what I want to do. The features on the 450D would have been plenty for my amateur photography, but it just didn't feel as nice to shoot with it. If you are on the fence about 450D or 40D, my advice would be to go to a camera shop (or even a Best Buy, which usually has both on hand) and 'feel' them out for yourself. When I did it, the feel just wasn't there for 450D.

This is a great kit deal too with the 28-135mm lens. Don't mess around with any kits selling you the ultra-low end 18-55mm kit lens, and please don't buy the 40D and then drop another 170 bucks on a cheapie lens. That's like sticking a Mazda Miata engine inside a Corvette. But the 28-135mm is no cheapie. This is 400 buck lens going for 150 less in the kit. The USM (ultra-silent motor) and IS (image stabilization) features make the 28-135mm a very nice, very versatile lens for starting out. The expense is not that much more than 18-55mm, but it's totally worth it in the long run. So if you are just starting out, this is definitely the best kit to go with.

As always Amazon shipping is amazing. I ordered the thing on a Monday morning, added standard shipping (8 bucks extra), and the thing was at my doorstep the very next day. Unfortunately, I ordered my CF card through Newegg (which has a pretty good shipping reputation!), and so I had to wait another 2 days before that arrived.

Thank You.

No Control in Basic Modes, but a Great Camera
8/20/2008
Prior to the 40D I was using top rated point and shoot (Nikon Coolpix 4500, Fujifilm Finpix F30) and the "bridge" camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ50). The program modes are great on these cameras and allow some creativity (metering, drive mode, ISO) and also have manual modes for full creativity (within limits of the camera). I shoot mostly men's softball (afternoon, twilight, and evening lighting). The FZ50 met some of my needs but the images too soft and I couldn't get the large appeture nor the rapid burst speed associated with the 40D.

Right out of the box I wanted to see what the camera could do in the basic modes and found the images to be less impressive than my 4500, F30, and FZ50. The reason is that the 40D does not allow for any changes to the pre-set programs. It forced me to move right into the creative modes and use the features I paid for.

It's very easy to use and figure out -nothing surprising. It feels great in my hand (except that I had to cut my fingernails, ugh!)and the buttons and adjustment wheels well placed.

It's a great camera -I just think the lack of my photography skills prohibit me from working the camera to it's potential. Since becaming familiar with the creative modes, I've been able to get the shots I want. The burst mode is amazing, light to the touch(beware...until I got use to it, I was getting a gazillion shots per burst. I had to spend too much time sorting and deleting).

No problems to date. Cannon customer support has been wonderful. I called late at night and got through quickly. My questions were about understanding the camera better -no question was too small. Extremely friendly service.

After all said and done, it's a Great Camera!

Thank You.
