As for sound, I tend to agree the low end Canons don't have same sound shutter. But the 40D sounds good. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dRMyNrmWvvg
Not exactly a good reason to chose one camera over another though? |
The paper differences between xxD and xxxD canons is far less obvious in real life usage. High ISO noise is really good on ANY canon DSLR that has the CMOS sensor, and the real world differences between the systems in that respect is not all that obvious. Build quality and ergonomics are better on the xxD.... less plastic used in the contruction. I've used a Canon 300D on and off, which is quite old, and in the right hands it can still produce results that do not distinguish it from it's upper and more recent sibblings.
Shutter sounds do very a great deal bewteen systems, but the quieter it is, the better.
