New digital single lens reflex SLR camera from Canon

E-mail

cannon slr cameraThe new EOS 40D sports a 10.1MP CMOS sensor, 6.5 FPS burst shooting mode (maximum burst of 75 JPEG images or 17 RAW images), 9-cross type AF engine and DIGIC III image processor.

Perhaps the biggest news is the addition of a new 3.0" LCD screen with "Live View" capabilities. This allows professional photographers to frame their images with the LCD screen instead of relying solely on the standard viewfinder like traditional D-SLRs.

Remote Live View can used to control the EOS 40D from a PC. Using EOS utility software, a photographer can have remote access to an EOS 40 to adjust image settings, compose and capture shots.

"The EOS 40D represents an important step in the development of EOS for the advanced amateur market. It incorporates many of the technologies pioneered in our latest EOS-1 series cameras," said Canon Europe's Consumer Imaging Head Mogens Jensen. "For digital photographers, the benefits of upgrading to the EOS 40D are real and significant. For analogue SLR users, there’s never been a more compelling reason to make the switch."

The EOS 40D will launch in September in the US with a price tag of $1,299 USD or $1,499 USD with the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom lens.

The other big Canon D-SLR announcement today comes in the form of the EOS-Ds Mark III. The full-frame EOS-Ds Mark III breaks the 20MP barrier with a 21.1MP 35mm CMOS sensor. In addition, the camera features a 19-point cross type AF engine, DIGIC III image processor and FPS burst mode. Like the EOS 40D, the EOS-Ds Mark III also features a 3.0" Live View LCD.

"Taking image quality and versatility to unprecedented levels, the EOS-1Ds Mark III redefines commercial photography conventions," remarked Karz Suzuki, Head of Canon Professional Services. "The camera will strengthen Canon’s popularity amongst professional studio photographers. Culminating 20 years of EOS development, the EOS-1Ds Mark III represents a definitive moment in our company’s photographic history."

The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III will hit stores in October with a $7,999 USD price tag.

The Canon EOS 40D will go on sale in the UK in September - price to be confirmed with the EOS 1DS Mark III on sale in the UK from October at £5,999.
