The new Canon 40D has finally arrived. It came via UPS yesterday afternoon. I was excited to see it finally. Upon opening it, I am more convinced that the first one I got was a return that someone bought just to steal the battery. Very frustrating. But, I now have the camera. In fact, I have two of them! I haven’t gotten the prepaid slip to send back the old camera yet. It would be awesome if I could keep both, but I don’t think that will happen.

I took a few pictures with my new camera last night. I was mostly just messing around, so there isn’t so much good stuff. Today though, I took some pictures of the fresh strawberries we picked this morning. The picture above is one of them. So far I am loving the new camera. I think the quality is great, and it functions great. The most amazing thing that I like about it is how quiet it is. I was shocked when I took the first picture. It is so quiet compared to the Rebel XT.

I will take some more pictures and post a further review, but for now, I am loving it.
