Well I finaly got a chance this weekend to go out and actually test my new 40D :D
And I must say, the results came back very noticably better than what I was getting with my XTi. The focusing speed and accuracy really helped with all the BIFs. Cant wait to get the 100-400 to go with it!! :D

Anyways, All CC is very welcomed, I love to learn!
Enjoy!

Wow, sweet BIF images.... :thumb

How much cropping did you do? Just curious, nothing more. I had a 40D for the competition I recently did, but dim lighting and using a longer lens (500/4.5) did it no favors - AF struggled at times. Superb in most other conditions... great stuff... :D

Cheers,
Marc

Very nice Mike. Great shots.

I love my 40D. I'm still learning to use it.

What lens did you use and did you focus manually or auto?

Thanks Docdpp! :D
Yes so far I absolutely love this thing, but also still learning. I used the Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro for these but it has been replaced with a Canon 100-400L (Should be here by the weekend :D)
I used Auto Focus on AI Focus mode.

Nice,

I'm going shopping for a lens this weekend. I too would like the 100-400 IS L if I can get my wife by herself for a minute so she doesn't know what it costs me. :D

Thanks Harry! :D
Indeed they are, quite hard without the right equipment too, they move so quickly sometimes, it makes for great BIF practice though:thumb
