Canon Eos 40d Slr Digital Camera

I will soon begin doing some photography on the side and am interested in purchasing a good, quality camera. I'm new to the digital SLR cameras and need some advice on which camera is a better purchase for photographers.

A Nikon camera takes more professional pictures.

I've got an older 35 mm Canon EOS SLR. I'm seeing a lot of the 28-135mm zoom lenses on sale that come with the Canon 40D digital cameras. Can I use that lens on my film camera?

You sure can. All EF lenses can be used on both film and digital Canon cameras. The only lenses that your film camera can not use are the EFs lenses these are designed specifically for the cropped sensors on DSLR cameras. For instance many DSLR cameras come with a EFs 18-55mm lens. This would be the equivalent to the EF 28-90mm lens that comes with many film cameras.

The reason why Canon produces these EFs lenses is that because of the cropped sensor (smaller than 35mm film) the field of view is magnified by 1.6

This is great for a telephoto lens. Your 200 mm lens becomes a 320mm lens. On the wide angle end you lose out. This is why Canon has lenses like the EFs 18-55 mm and the EFs 10-22mm.

Bottom line make sure it is an EF lens and not an EFs lens and you will have no problems.

This is a gift I would like to get for myself once the holidays are over. I currently have a decent digital SLR but i want to upgrade. How can I tell which one is better if I can not even tell the differences between the two. Thanks for your help.

Essentially, the 40D is a better camera, but if you want HD video recording, then you will need to go for the T1i. The following buyer's guides compare the features of all the Rebel and Semi-pro cameras.

And two lens hoods. All the above lenses will fit the follow Canon body’s (F-1, A-1, AE-1, T70, etc.) and have a substantial, solid feel (which is lacking in today’s autofocus lenses!!!). Lenses had filters added at the time of purchase so the glass is perfect & the coatings brilliant!!! All the lenses have a buttery smooth focus, and the diaphragm ac

You can use FD lenses on the EOS series of bodies with an adapter, but keep in mind:

-They'll be manual focus only.
-You'll have to change the f-stops manually.
-The camera's light meter can be thrown off.
-You won't be able to use program/auto or shutter priority modes; you'll have to use aperture priority or completely manual settings.

One version of the FD-to-EOS adapter is here:
