What do you shoot with? What is your dream camera?

I use a Canon Rebel XT and want a 5D.

What type of lens are you using?

I know my Canon Digital Rebel XT has a "sharpness" configuration and I am almost certain that your 40D does too.

But the lens (or filter) can be causing the softness.

I currently shoot with a Nikon D-200. I love being free of film but my dream camera was stolen from me in 1988, it was a Leica M3.

I am hoping to return to film next year with a wide format camera. I am trying to finish one project before i go hog into another!

I shoot with a Canon Rebel XTi. When I first bought the camera, I had trouble with the focus (pics coming out fuzzy, etc). After a lot of practicing, I figured out how to get the focus right. I'm not sure if this is the same problem you are having with the 40D, but there was a lot of info online about the XTi focus along with some settings you can play with. It also depends a lot on your lens. I just have the kit lens and the 50mm prime. These are cheap lenses and seem to be more difficult to focus properly.

I'm probably a little outgunned here, as I still shoot with an Olympus C2100. I would love to get a new Nikon D300, but will probably end up getting a Nikon D40 in the meantime. As long as I can produce what I have in the past with the Oly though, I'm fine.

Those photos are proof positive that size does not matter. My first digital was a Nikon Cool Pix 4300. I shot some of my favorite photos with it. This is one:

Are you using the "L" series lenses with the 5D?

I have heard that you are better off to do that.

I'm shooting an Olympus E-510 digital, a Sigma SA 9 for film and a 5.1 mp Toshiba DC T50 as my main cameras. I will at some point ad a Mamiya or Fugi medium format with digtal and film backs.
