40D User Group


I got my 40D is a gift from a good friend:)
with EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM & EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM
Speedlite 430EX
also having a FZ50


ANW what lenses is good for outdoor shooting???


You don't know how envious I am...
Anyways, 17-85mm and 75-300 are good lens for outdoor shooting because of its range. It also depends specifically what you want to shoot outdoor but with a range of 17-300 i think you are well covered.
 

HAHA
em so no need to buy new one

I am going to japan which one should i bring along? only want to bring one.
 

yay! add me to the list got my 40D today! :)

Hi.
I'm having a problem... when I use the live preview mode, I've not problem taking photos in whichever settings, ie AV, TV, etc. But when switched live preview off, and only make use of the view finder, the shutter seems to be forever no matter what my settings are... Anyone encounter this problem? Is it some settings that I missed out? Please advise...

Thanks in advance!


Hi,

I'm just on a 400d but had a similar problem with extended shutter times and not storing the images. It turned out that while I was 'familiarising' myself with the camera I had set a custom setting. While on full auto camera worked OK but on any of the 'manual' modes the custom setting was envoked, once I cleared the custom setting - the camera performed as normal. Don't know if this helps but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Hoope you get it sorted OK
 

Does 10D,20D,30D owners count as well?
There aint any dedicated thread for them AFAIK
 

pauche, yes AP and TCW cheapest.
Got mine at J3:16 for a bit more but with more peace of mind and after sales service.

yeah.... most impt you are happy with ur new toy.
happy shooting :thumbsup:
 

HAHA
em so no need to buy new one

I am going to japan which one should i bring along? only want to bring one.

if can only choose one from your current setup, i'll take the 17-85.

if not carry on waiting for canon to develop an EF-S 10-300mm f/2.8L IS USM kit lens that cost under $1000 and weight less than 1kg!!! :D *carry on dreaming*
 

in the matter of fact, im just giving you a reply. this is not flaming.
 

Guys keep your cool we are all gather here because we have the same thing we like we shall not spoil it.;)
Friendship and Photography forever
 

I have this problem with my 40D once.

I switched on the camera, it says something like this: "Sensor cleaning error, Please proceed to canon for assistance(something like that i think)"

Then i offed the camera and on it again. All was fine.

Scared the crap outta me!
 

Totally fcking overreacted.
