  1. D-Photo and The Photographer's Mail

    6 November 2011

    The Canon SX40 HS is a little camera that talks big. A 24 to 840mm (35mm equivalent) zoom, the latest DIGIC 5 processor and backlit CMOS sensor which can now do full 1080 HD video, 10 frames per second photos, and shoot in low light with less noise. All this in a mini-me D-SLR package; yours for $750. An upgrade from the previous model SX30 IS, the camera is more of the same but better in parts. Read more

    • Lots in a small package

    • Incredibly long zoom lens, Comfortable shooting feel, Competitively priced for a superzoom
    • LCD screen is small and low resolution compared to other superzooms, No RAW image capture
