Product Details of Canon PowerShot SX40 HS Black Digital Camera

Description

Canon's PowerShot SX40 HS Digital Camera raises the bar for optical zoom lenses--way, way up. This 35x, 24-840mm equivalent, zoom lens, taking you from a true wide-angle to an ultra telephoto suitable for wildlife and sports photography. And it comes with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer so you'll be able to capture great shots even at super telephoto focal lengths without unseemly camera shake. A Zoom Framing Assist makes it easy to follow a moving subject, even using the super telephoto.

DCRP Review: Canon PowerShot SX40 HS

<p>Overall, the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS is a good super zoom camera, but there are better choices out there. In terms of design and features, it's very competitive. Photo quality is a little better than most of the cameras in this class. Where the SX40 lags a bit is in terms of performance, manual controls, and movie mode. The last super zoom camera I reviewed was the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150,...

Canon SX40 HS review at Camera Labs

The Canon SX40 HS sports the same enormous 35x optical range as its predecessor, equivalent to 24-840mm. The major change concerns the sensor with a switch from a 14 Megapixel CCD to a 12 Megapixel CMOS allowing the SX40 HS to support 1080p video and fast continuous shooting, with the added benefit of lower noise too. But how does it compare against rivals from Sony and Panasonic? Find out in my...

Canon PowerShot SX40 HS Review

While Canon's previous megazoom digital camera was a good performer, the PowerShot SX40 HS is a finely tuned upgrade. With the same startling 35x zoom ranging from 24-840mm equivalent, the Canon SX40 sports a new, lower-resolution sensor and a punchy DIGIC 5 processor, resulting in better low light performance and better corner sharpness overall, as well as reduced chromatic aberration. These...
