Features

The Canon PowerShot SX40 HS is a brilliantly versatile bridge camera whose key feature, that 35x optical zoom, is made all the more attractive by an excellent image stabilisation system. Picture quality is good and overall speed is great. If you can live without the picture quality perfection and improved low-light performance of a DSLR, this is a great buy.

PowerShot SX40 HS Digital Camera has the following features:

35x Zoom Lens (24-840mm Equivalent)
12.1MP High Resolution
CMOS Sensor
2.7" Wide Vari-Angle LCD Display
1080p Full HD Video with Stereo Sound
High Speed Burst Shooting @ 8fps
Use Stabilization & Zoom for Video
Advanced Smart AUTO for 32 Situations
Optical Image Stabilizer for Sharp Pix
Powerful DIGIC 5 Image Processor
Lithium-ion Rechargeable Batteries

Canon's PowerShot SX40 HS Digital Camera raises the bar for optical zoom lenses--way, way up. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a 35x, 24-840mm equivalent, zoom lens, taking you from a true wide-angle to an ultra telephoto suitable for wildlife and sports photography and, who knows, maybe even pictures of the stars (just kidding about the astronomy pix, kids). 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.

The lens uses a double-sided aspherical glass-molded lens, an ultra-high refraction index lens, enhanced negative refractive power, and UD glass to correct wide-angle distortion and suppress chromatic aberration. With the 12.1MP CMOS sensor, you'll get high resolution pictures, whether you're shooting landscapes, pictures of the kids, or those 2 blue herons on the other side of the lake.

The high resolution 2.7" Vari-Angle display screen makes it easy to frame and play back your photos and video--that's right, you also get gorgeous 1080p full HD video, which can be shot using image stabilization and full zoom, and, with stereo sound. The Super Slow Motion Movie function lets you see everything in really, really slooooow motion. There's also Advanced Smart AUTO, which recognizes and sets optimal settings for 32 pre-defined shooting situations. Canon's proprietary DIGIC 5 Image Processor delivers faster, more accurate noise reduction for better image quality, even at high ISO ratings. This little beauty is ready to go out and play.
