Overcooked? Thats just straight from the camera onto the computer, then massacred through powertoys to get that small.
I love the 40D, I was going to get the Rebel XTi or XSi but I settled on one better than both. And I would never look back, the 40D is just so far superior to the rebel its scary. Of course there is nothing wrong with the rebel, its a beautiful camera. But if you have some extra bucks to spend on your camera I highly recommend the 40D. (or if you have even more then just get the 5D
)
