“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mark the passing of a giant, a giant that caught us unawares. The EOS 40D was not just a camera, but it was a Canon. Proud, and bold and… wait… What? What? You’re kidding me? It’s not actually dead?

But, it was replaced, by the 50D, which even outperforms it (especially in AI Servo AF), and which doesn’t even have as much noise once you downsample the 15.1 megapixel images to match the 40D’s 10.1 megapixels. That’s a fault of peepachus, not the 50D, right?

And, we can’t even get ahold of any. We have none in stock. But, it’s not dead you say?

Weird.”
