I’ve been considering the Canon EOS 40D for my wife. Most places are out of stock…many have waiting lists.

I found that you can buy it on Amazon.com — according to their web-site they have them in stock and you can get free 2 day shipping.

Here is the link (which is thru my Amazon associates page — which supports the Daily Photo Tips education fund):

The above link is for the kit — the 40D with a 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS (image stabilization) lens. Amazon’s price is $1499 for the kit.

If you just want the body only (and not the kit) look for the drop down and select the “body only” option. The body only price on Amazon is $1299 — pretty much the same price I’ve found on B&H, Wolf Camera, etc.

Photoshop User TV is an educational yet casual and lighthearted video podcast by the “Photoshop Guys” from the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. A typical episode of PhotoshopUser TV is 30 minutes long and debuts each week on Monday. “Why do they call themselves the Photoshop Guys?”. Well… they’re guys and they love Photoshop.

Every week, They post a new episode of PhotoshopUser TV that you can watch, download and keep forever and ever. They’ve archived previous episodes and you can download them for $1.99 per show. Members of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) have access to the entire archive of PhotoshopUser TV episodes as part of their membership.

I really recommend this podcast to those who are new and those who want a little refresher on some of those tools that are either new or do not use anymore.

Go ahead and check out this post cast tomorrow, Monday and every Monday at www.photoshopusertv.com

Let me know how it goes.

New female leopard is quite playful. She looks quite tamed, but you must be very cautious and never put your hand near the fence! She put her paw very easily through those fence rings and if she is not in the right mood, playing can and up in disaster! Today lioness was very playful. I don’t believe, that she was aggressive, but if there was no fence, I would not be there…

The EOS 40D latest digital SLR for advanced amateurs and semi-professionals with a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 6.5 frames per second burst performance, a newly developed AF system and 3.0” LCD with Live View mode, the EOS 40D makes significant advances in both performance and versatility.

The camera benefits from the new EOS technology platform introduced earlier this year with the professional EOS?1D Mark III. Canon’s DIGIC III processor delivers responsive operation, improved colour rendering and near-instant start-up time. The EOS Integrated Cleaning System combats sensor dust, while a strong magnesium alloy body with weather resistance ensures lasting durability.
