Just picked up the 40d minutes ago on Amazon: $1,140.00 (with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens) & free 2 day shipping. I also picked up the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 last week as it was only $85 shipped. After ALOT of practice with these two lens', I will probably eventally get a nice ultra wide angle and zoom...

And I know I elluded to getting this in another thread, but finally pulled the trigger after passing up on some other so called "deals."

 

Awesome!

 

Congrats synth!

 

I really wanted a different lens, but if you break it down...the kit lens was only $230! Couldn't pass it up an IS lens for this cheap!

 

Congrats! Now start playing!

 

It's about damn time!!




Enjoy it.

 

 

Enjoy.

 

nice congrats!

 

So did I.

Must copy Synth19 on everything.

 

What are you guys paying now down there?

 

Stupid slick deals posted http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=1040654

40D for $650 shipped
XSI for $450 shipped

I couldnt resist. Plus my brother keeps borrowing my XT so i figure this way ill just let him have it.

Impulse buy FTW!!

 

Holy cheap.

 

Body only btw.

 

I know. Still damn cheap for what you're getting. You probably paid your XT $500+

 

Paid $490 for the XT with kit lens. Almost 2 years of use, worth it.

OMG 650 dollars for a 40D??!?!?!?

time for a 2nd body?

 

WTF! That is a sick deal. I'm selling my kit lens this week for $250, but even after that, I still $240 below this deal! Damnit....

 

Well that thread on slickdeals is saying it might have been a price mistake. Hope they dont cancel the orders.. guess ill find out tomorrow if they open.

 

Sweet, they gonna honor the price!

Keep an eye out if they get more in stock. They adjusted the price so its still $650!

 

i canceled the order.

Im just not ready for the 40d yet. I havent even perfected the XT i have.

Yep, i have issues.

 

That's a pretty crazy revelation in 12 minutes. You're a bipolar shopper!

 

I don't think most people will benefit much from 40D vs an Xsi, actually.
It's mostly ergonomic differences, which make it easier/quicker to set
things. But most people don't have the need to set things that quickly.

Biggest benefit actually is probably just the size of the grip, which could
even be a minus if you have small hands.

he is coming from an XT thou, imo going from an XT to a 40D is a big difference.

 

Yah, but I was saying if he decided to go to the Xsi instead.

- Frank

 

If i didn't move up the chain I would have stuck with my xti back then.

Only reason i got my nikon d80 was the xti was stolen from my car aka cursed unless i conviced myself at that time to get a 40d.

Right now xsi are look pretty nice for some of my friends. If their pretty crazy i tell em the d90 for some other goodies.

 

Yea on weekends i get bored and always want to buy something. Stupid deals.

I rather practice more with the XT and buy some new lenses instead. Ill upgrade in summer im sure.

 

congrats!!! now go out and shoot stuff!
