Major upgrade to the EOS 40D that put some clear blue water between Canon's 'semi pro' and 'entry level' EOS ranges.

Opinion: Canon rock the world, long live Canon,
Problems: Canon Rock the world
best
Opinion: bad
Opinion: A big jump from 40D, many improvements.
Opinion: I upgraded from a EOS 30D and this is a wonderful improvement. I realize that 40D owners might not have the same experience.
The auto focus works very well in very bad light (for a camera that is). And it also works a lot better than the 30D on moving subjects as well.
The display at the back is significantly better than the 30D display. Some claim that it is the first good display on any Canon SLR.
It is possible to turn off focus hunting. That is good for bird photographers with long lenses. I've yet to try it, but I plan to.
The auto ISO feature works very well for me. I'm very pleased with it.
The new menu system makes it very easy to configure the camera.
Live view is nice to have since I get a feel of how the picture will look. e.g. whether it will be underexposed or overexposed. In most cases, it will be easier to just take the picture and examine it on the display.
I've had the camera for two weeks and so far it has been fun. No letdowns.
