These look incredible!. All the hummers are crystal clear. Not to mention the rest of the pictures. But I haven't seen those little guys that clear. Nice set!

Socrate, whether you shoot with 30D or 40D your images are flawless. Since a 40D is on right hands now, I hope that we can get very accurate assessment with regard to IQ and high ISO shooting capabilities of the 40D. For me if Canon has been able to maintain the same noise as 30D even it is a great plus since 40D have more pixels for cropping than 30D. Looking forward to hear more technical comparison from you soon. Thank you for sharing your images and your experience with 40D.

Beautiful Shasoc! Good to hear that about the 40D. My plan had been to wait for the issues to get resolved with 1DMkIII and then buy one and use my 20D for backup. I still want the 1-series, but maybe I can sell the 20D and throw in a bit more cash to get the 40D as well - very tempting.

Hi, Ed. Thanks. My plan also was, and still is, to get the MKIII once all the issues have been solved. However the local photo store manager, who knows me, invited me to try the 40 D. I tried it and I kept it. I'm getting a lot more keepers with this camera.

Wow ! beautiful images, per usual. I think you may be right about the focus and exposures, however all your posted images seem to have great focus. Now if you want to get rid of that old junker body, ill pay the shipping to PA. Cheers Harry
Hi, Harry. Goof to hear from you. Thanks for the comments.

Wowser! Each one of these is outstanding. If I had to pick a favorite, I could narrow it down to 1, 3 and 8. The female Cardinal is just beautiful with the color combinations and that wild bg.

Thanks, Doug. Cardinals are still molting, and I,m avoiding to shoot them, but that female seemed to look fine and was in a very good spot for a nice picture.

Fantastic shots Shasoc. I was waiting a bit to get a 40D and have really been waiting to see some real life pics on subjects I'm use to shooting. I was in Best Buy today and loved the way it felt in my hand and I had a hard time not coming home and ordering one.
I know the 500mm F/4 adds a lot to the image, but man those look awesome!
Tanks for your comments, Mattbtn. I'm really surprised by the AF performance of this camera. I hope you'll get a chanche to shoot with one soon.

These are really outstanding. Not sure I can pick a favorite. I have been unsuccessful getting such a sharp, well-lighted and well-posed butterfly. Way to go on those. Enjoyed the hummers, cardinal and chickadee too!!
Socrate! Just amazing images! The butterflys and hummers are so very sharp and detailed! The eyes are so sharp I can see your reflection in some! Wonderful work!
