Pros: Good LCD, Improved overall spec, Decent value for money

Verdict: The low noise, 5fps shooting, and build quality are awesome. Then you admire that amazing LCD. Then you begin to appreciate the depth, subtlety and richness of Sony's new sensor. The Nikon D300 had better be good, and Canon must be glad the 40D is che
