Slightly more in the price range of real human beings is the EOS 40D, replacing the 30D. This has a still-pretty-hot 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and shoots a blistering 6.5fps. The DIGIC III processor handles up to 75 large JPEGs (17 in RAW) without hesitation, repetition or deviation.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System, My Menu tab and 76mm LCD with live view mode are present and correct. It also boasts 24 custom modes. A new addition is a dedicated autofocus on/off button that allows you to enable and disable autofocus with your thumb.

Canon describes start-up time on the EOS 40D as near-instant. It will be available from September and will cost £900 for the body, or £1,200 with EF-S 17-85 IS lens.
