So I know there are a lot of threads out there about cameras and shit, but when I used the searchbar nothing came up about the 40D. What do you know about it, I've been doing a lot of research on it and shit but I want to hear what other skiers think about it as an action/sports camera. If you don't like it, what would you suggest?

tokina 10-17 mm
canon 50 mm 1.8
canon 70-200 mm 4.0
and canon 17-85 mm

works like a charm.

My 40D is awsome, it works perfectly in the cold, i have a battery grip with 2 batteries which helps heaps. shutter speed is great for shooting skiing.

awesome camera. its pretty rugged, has a nice 3in screen, 6.5fps (burst up to 75 pics!), self cleaning sensor. perfect camera for outdoors, sports and snow, just go buy it.

Shutter speed? Don't you mean fps? If you have those mixed up you probably don't need a 40d.

my 40D is badass, although I haven't taken any skiing shots yet, I'm too scared it will get broken haha some of my shots go on flickr, but none of the sellable stuff, since people think it's funny to steal it....: http://www.flickr.com/photos/adamfg
