DPReview has a nice gallery of beta shots from the 40D taken with a pre production camera. From what can be seen here it looks like the 40D has a lot of potential, especially in the noise department.
The sample below was taken at iso3200, and sure we can see noise, but that much noise when cranked all the way up to 3200 is our kind of animal. Heres the full DP review gallery.

Wanna blow up picture the size of your house? As is there weren’t enough rumors floating around today it seems that Amazon has also leaked information on the Canon EOS 1Ds MK3 (not to be confused with the regular 1D MK3)
According to engadget This megapixel monster has a 21 megapixel sensor, shooting at 5FPS. At a cool 8 grand it won’t the the camera for most of us, but should help put a stop to purists who still say that film is better, and they only will shoot medium format.

Well like the 40D rumors the Nikon D3 rumors have been floating around for some time, and here we go again
A post over on Digital Photography Blog tells us that the highly anticipated D3 will have 51 point autofocus, 9 frames per second, and a 3″ TFT LCD, with an impressive 920,000 pixel resolution. It’s still to early to tell if this is the real deal or not, but we’ll keep following it and see where it goes.

It seems Amazon.com has been spilling some beans on the 40D. After scouring various places on the internet, and finding some good details over on hiptech blog and engadget it seems that the specs are out, and the release date is Sept 20th. Time will tell, but it looks like it’s about here, and these far more detailed specs than we’ve had before reveal that there are indeed some nice upgrades to the line.
It looks like the 40D sports a 10.1 megapixel sensor (no surprise there) but it also has a 3″ LCD, and speaking from experience on the 3″ LCD from the popular Canon PowerShot SD630 point and shoot that’s a really nice thing. It also has the live view function, which we assume will be similar to that of the 1D MK3. Frame advance had been bumped up to 6.5 FPS with bursts of up to 17 raw files. It also has 35 zone metering, and Canon’s integrated self cleaning technology.
The unit is rumored to be around $1299 for the body only. If you want to read the full click the more link.
