AFAIK, the lens is not covered in 2 Year warranty, but all Canon lenses purchased from anywhere in the world from an Authorized retailer carry 1 year international warranty. |

| ![]() Hi All, I saw a deal posted on amazon for Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera + 18-55mm lens + 55-200mm lens for $585 + free shipping (i 'm guessing for US locations). I have read a couple of posts where people have talked about different deals in this price range. FYI I am a newbie(in the camera and tbhp sense) and I'm looking to start learning more about art and science of photography. Currently own a point and shoot canon SD700. NoMind |

It looks like a good deal. You can also try out the Canon 350D or the Pentax K100D for similar price ranges. | |

| ![]() Hello friends, Its almost 3 weeks since i bought my 40D and i have taken quite a few pictures, for some reason the pictures appear to be very dull and i find my self auto correcting most of the pictures in Picture Manager.I use the standard mode most of the times. I managed to compare it with my friends D40 Nikon and he clicks in the vivid picture mode.The pictures from my 40D appear to be dull & faded. I would like to mention i tried the other picture modes as well and found not that much of difference, this was mainly while shooting in Forest locations, where the scenary came without highlighting any colours. Kindly advice on what the problem might be or what is the settings i need to use. Location of shooting: Open lands, landscapes & mainly in forests. Settings: Tv, Shutter priority mode Shutter speed between 50 - 1000 used. ISO - 200 to 800 Aperture:- 3.5 - 5.6 Lens used : - 18-55 IS Here are some of the pics, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() I agree that a lot of photos need PP and its very important to learn RAW conversion. Why i compared was i took the pictures in JPEG format and the straight out of box Jpeg's both camera gave, i felt very bad comparing the pictures. I have posted the image from both cameras taken at the same place during our safari, and i dont know what setting went wrong but the images out of 40D lacked any colour, Was there something wrong with exposure? Aperture? DoF? I like to mention that these are out of the camera pictures without any PP. Same 18-55 lenses. D40 ![]() 40D ![]() |

I think what happened here was that your friend with D40 caught some good light - because there is sun and shadows in the picture absent from yours. You may have taken the picture when a cloud came before the sun. It's the only explanation I can think of for the dramatic difference in the pictures. The 40D is a very capable camera. I recently shot some pictures with my D70s and compared them with pictures taken from a 40D the same day. The pictures from the latter had significantly more pop and detail. But then I wasn't shooting at the highest quality settings or paying much attention to what I was shooting (it was a work trip) while the other guy was a pro who shoots for a living.

| ![]() Also put a UV filter in front if your lens, if you don't already have one - it is sorely needed in the bright conditions we have in India. The last thing you can try is use another Canon lens and check the results. Perhaps there is something wrong with your lens. Other Canon users can probably help you with camera settings. Im not familiar with those being a Nikon user. Although I still feel that all these tweaks can't explain the difference in the pictures. The pic from the D40 is shot in different light. |
