Canon's EOS 40D- An Even More Budget Bargain (New photographers need to read this!)

Canon's EOS 40D- An Even More Budget Bargain (New photographers need to read this!)

November 2025, Carl Garrard

Over the years I've written a few words about the Canon 40D on this blog, including a pretty comprehensive review here. But here I am again. And this time it's about how much of a bargain the 40D is in 2025 (six years after that review, 18yrs after its announcement). For those of you who are inspired to learn photography from the fundamentals up and don't want a camera to take all the challenge and reward out of photography by doing everything for you (cough... pretty much all  new cameras), the Canon 40D is a camera I still recommend to this day. It checks off everything a learning photographer would need to start, and, it's a camera that you can grow deep into as your skills advance. Today, it's got to be one of the most incredible bargains on the used market, and don't count out the fun factor either.
