Go with the superior one, duh.
I would get the 40D and spend the rest of the monies on decent lenses. 5D seems exessive for my use.
If you need high ISO performance, go with the 5D
40D is faster5D takes better pictures (if you have awesome glass)
if you dont need lolmp, want good noise performance and dont mind not being able to use cheap crop lens, get the 5D.
