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.
