40D is out here in the shops already

Is it? Sheesh… goes to show how easy it is to lose touch with this stuff 🙂 In any case, if airshow photography is your main goal, definitely wait till a few weeks before the first airshow of 2008, so you have the optimum in choice and price.

I am happy with my 400D for now. It’s a big improvement over the 300D, which served me well too until it died. I particularly like the sensor cleaning feature and the bigger buffer allowing for more continous shooting.

Don’t forget Duxford today!

I got the same birthday prezzie a year and a half ago, and had to wait 2 months before the airshow season started.

Keep your 300D for now, I’d say. Served me fine. I only got a 400D when my 300 died on me. Next year there may be a new model (40D) so why buy the last model now and have it stored in a closet over winter?

Thanks for bumping this thread and the heads-up on the exhibition!

Such a shame that 90 years Dutch Naval Air Service will be without the P-3 Orions… 🙁

Beautiful skin!
Had any luck yet with the code letter?
