The quality of the photos is great and the camera is easy to use, even with it's many features. I only have one complaint: My camera model is notorious for a design flaw that causes a lens error, rendering the camera useless. Canon refuses to admit that this is a design flaw and no fault of the customer (I've had my camera for two years and haven't done anything damaging to it once) and they charge nearly half the price of the camera itself to fix it. Camera-wise they're great, but customer service needs a lot of improvement. I currently own a Canon camera and I absolutely love it.

The graph then represents favorites not compared quality or even qualities.But it is an interesting order of cameras "possessed" by responders.

Which one will have the sharpest pictures?" Surely it's glass that determines that? And even then, some would say, ultimately it depends more on the skill of the photographer holding the glass. However, in terms of kit, whilst Canon has it's supporters, and the Sony Alfa system (built by many of the people from Minolta) is coming on strong, the "standard zoom" that out performed all the others in it's class was the Zeiss Vario-Sonnar DT 16 - 80mm f/3.5-4.5 TËš ZA (optical bench and real world tests) Apparently this is achieved through micro - contrast. Macro - contrast needs to be good to give sharpness in major outlines. Micro - contrast makes fine detail equally eye-catching. It also enables subtle colour on small areas, so increasing the plasticity - 3D impression. The availability of this and other Zeiss lenses has to be a strong magnate for the brand. To quote somebody with this camera: "... when I laid my hands on an Alfa 700 it didn't feel that special - but it proved to be brilliantly good and delivers the kind of results that a friend of mine takes time, effort and photoshop to extract from his Canon."

Its not because it take better picture quality than any other brand. Its because Canon is one of the popular, leading and lasting company that manufacture complete high quality equipments for photography from sensors to papers and more. I don't have to look for a third party and to know if it is compatible to my camera. I own canon camera and will continue to own more from this company.

I advise you to buy Canon EOS 50D body only and a good lens. It is far better than 40D and A700. The price will be equal or slightly higher than the 40D. I guess it will be in the market by December or earlier. If you're not familiar with canon lenses, here are some good lenses I know: EF-S 10-22 mm f3.5-4.5 USM, EF-S 17-55 mm f2.8 IS USM, EF 50 mm f1.2, f1.4, or f1.8 USM, EF 24-105 mm f4 L IS USM, EF 24-70 mm f2.8 L USM, EF 70-200 mm f2.8 L IS USM. I assure you it will give you sharp picture than any of the two you mention and a better features in its class. To Jeff,
