Canon announces new camera 40D
After several months of speculation and rumors, Canon announced its new DSLR, the 40D. And that will replace the 30D.
One of the most striking changes is the 3-inch screen, 2.5 inches against the 30D. But the difference is not just the size of the monitor, but also increased the brightness for better visibility outdoors, and increase the range of colors and reducing the viewing angle of 170 degrees to 140 degrees.
Another novelty is that the 40D is that the body is made of magnesium alloy, with a building more resistant to dust and climate, especially near the ports connecting the battery and the gateway to memory card.
The 40D will retain some of the features of the 30D is its speed as 15 seconds to turn, trigger button durable, high speed of up to 1 / 8000 second and a maximum of 1 / 250 flash sync to.
Despite being based on the image sensor of the Rebel XTi camera, is a significant improvement because it uses micro-largest on each pixel to reduce noise and allow use of up to ISO 3200.
The camera system has a process of converting analog to digital, 14-bit, allowing it to recognize 16,384 colors per channel (four times more than the 30D recognizes its ability to convert 12-bit ). This allows the camera images with graduations poduzca tone colors and thinner and closer to real life. It also has the functions of Highlight Tone Priority and noise reduction with high ISO, which were introduced earlier this year with the EOS-1D Mark III.
Another novelty with which this camera is the option of using sRAW format, in addition to JPEG and RAW. SRaw on how the number of pixels is reduced to one quarter of those who used a standard RAW image, which makes the file size is reduced by half, while still maintaining the flexibility and creative possibilities conventional RAW images.
It is estimated that in early September and will be for sale with an estimated price of $ 1299.00 U.S. dollars sale of the body. It also offered a package with a lens EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM an estimated price of $ 1499.00 dollars.
