Canon EOS 40D
The Canon EOS 40D is a mid-range APS-C digital SLR introduced in August 2007, using the Canon EF/EF-S lens mount. It was positioned as an enthusiast-level body sitting above the consumer Rebel line and below the full-frame 5D, pairing a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor with the DIGIC III processor and a 6.5 fps burst rate.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the EOS 40D have ranged from about £30 to £150, with a median around £69 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail asking prices. As of today in 2026 the 40D sells for modest money because its 10MP sensor and ageing autofocus have been surpassed by newer bodies, but clean, low-shutter-count examples with the original battery and charger still achieve the upper end of that range. Price is strongly condition-driven, and what a 40D is worth at any given sale depends heavily on cosmetic wear, shutter count, and whether a working battery is included.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Canon EOS 40D worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer prices put the value of a Canon EOS 40D body between roughly £30 and £150, with typical examples selling for around £60–£70.
How much does a Canon EOS 40D sell for at auction?
A 40D body sells for about £30 in rough condition and up to around £150 for a clean, tested example with working battery and charger, based on 2023–2025 UK saleroom results.
Is the Canon EOS 40D still a usable camera?
Yes — it uses the current EF/EF-S mount, so any Canon EF or EF-S lens will fit, though its 10MP sensor and ISO ceiling are modest by modern standards.
Why is the price range so wide?
Condition, shutter count, and whether a working battery and charger are included have a large effect on what the 40D is worth, which is why hammer prices vary from under £50 to over £100.
