I noticed the the main page picture was made from a 40D. New review coming Michael?

I like the face in the window as well - nice image

I'm working on it now. It will probably be up later this week.

"A look at the specs shows that the first noticeable difference is the chip resolution. The 40D is 10 MP while the 30D and 20D before it were 8 MP. The difference isn't that great, but at least Canon's mid-range prosumer camera no longer has the same resolution as their entry level 350D / XT. (It's a marketing thing.) "

Michael, wake up and have some coffee , the 350D was replaced last year with the 400D which has a 10 MP sensor. What marketing thing?

OK. I'm awake now.

Nice review, but I think you've misunderstood the sRAW format. From what I see in the release notes, it's a 2.5 MP RAW format with files about half the size of a full RAW. To which I say 'WTF?' Seems like an extremely rare occasion where that would be useful.

On another note, the ISO example is interesting. Not just that it has nice low noise, but that the noise is color-less as far as I can tell. I've always found the chroma noise to be the most noticable and luminance noise more something that we're kinda used to seeing. I wonder if they have something that reduces the chroma, or is it just the way the sensor is? Is this the same sensor tech as in any other camera, and if so, do they have similar characteristics?
