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.

I don’t know what is more difficult, hitting a round baseball with a round bat OR photographing the bat making contact. 
Both require practice and an excellent eye.
This is the story of John Burgess, photographer for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat and his efforts to snap Barry Bonds’ record breaking home run. As the article states, it took him 16 days, 13 games, trips to Los Angeles and San Diego and one postponed family vacation.
