Another happy owner of Canon 40D
I bought this new body for the extra crop factor (to use with my 600IS lens-wild life stuff). At first, i was not sure if i make the right choice or not. However, after a few shot at LA Zoo today, i'm happy with it. Strongly recommend for anyone that looking to buy/upgrade to the new 40D.

i never knew looking through a smaller window was a substitute for magnification.

Technically the 5d does have a larger sensor, that was the flagship in the day... but the 40d has newer generation image processing, digic 3 which is same as the mark iii... for all that's worth.

40D has the DIGICIII processor and 14 bit RAW. The 5D is using DIGICII with a 12 bit RAW.
The 5D does get the edge at higher ISO above 800 but only slightly.
Dynamic range goes to the 5D.
Autofocus edge easily goes to the 40D
For those that don't need the full frame body, a 40D with a 10-22 lens set up is pretty damn good when compared to the 5D with a 16-35.
