Viewed from above (in the shot below: 40D left, 5D right), the grips are virtually identical, as are the resting areas on the back for your thumb. In your hand, the EOS 40D feels very similar to the 5D. We’ve pictured both bodies below, fitted with the Canon EF 85mm f1.8 lens the 40D is on the left and the 5D on the right. Measuring 146x108x74mm and weighing 822g, the EOS 40D is only a few millimetres smaller and 70g lighter than the full-frame EOS 5D when both are fitted with their batteries. Turn both cameras around though and the new 40D is easily identifiable thanks to its bigger 3in colour monitor – and the rearrangement of buttons to accommodate it. It’s virtually the same size and viewed from the front there’s only subtle differences in the head section to tell them apart. Canon’s EOS 40D greatly resembles its predecessor at first glance.
