Title: Canon EOS 40D | Our Review | TechRadar UK
Pros: Huge LCD screen, Impressive continuous shooting speed, 10-megapixels
Cons: No great advances in image quality

Cons: No status LCD; no live view; cumbersome button placement; in-viewfinder status display doesn't show ISO; rear LCD screen turns on at inappropriate times
Verdict: The Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 is close to being a strong competitor in the DSLR market. It can produce good images, but it's obvious when using the camera that Sony does not have the legacy of interface development that Canon and Nikon have. The DSLR-A700 has
