Congratulations! You hold in your hands the Canon EOS 40D, a serious peice of photographic equipment. It has a tremendous amount of features and will serve you faithfully for years if you take good care of it.

If you are here, you are probably looking to get more out of your Canon 40 D. You have come to the right place. Michael Andrew is not only an expert at simple explainations, he has been using Canon D series lenses for nearly five years! He is familiar with the Canon 10D, 20D, 30D, and now the 40D. He knows these cameras inside and out, and even better, all of the pictures you see on his websites and on the Canon 40D DVD were taken with these cameras. What this means is, if you know what he knows and are willing to practice, you too can take exactly the same types of pictures. Michael is excited to teach you in a very simple manner, exactly what all those buttons do, and how to get the camera to do what you want.
