Canon 40D

[disfanatiks]

My husband purchased me the Canon 40D for my birthday last week. I had the Canon Rebel XT, but I dropped it and although it still took pictures most of the features were gone.

Any suggestions on the 40D?

Thanks

I also went from the XT to the 40d. There is a book (http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EOS-Guide-Digital-Photography/dp/1598635107/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240766956&sr=1-1) that breaks down the camera pretty well.

I found the feel of the camera to be much better. I also enjoy the fact that most of my settings are accessible with the flick of a finger vs. jumping through menus. It is a good camera. I actually got frustrated showing my XT to my wife as I was now use to having everything right there.
