4 out of 5 stars   Great for first timers

Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 2.7" Vari-Angle LCD (CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Tilt /Swivel LCD, Large Clear LCD, Quiet, Easy To Use
Cons: Poor Image Stabilization, Lag / Shutter Delay
Other Comments: I'm currently using my camera for my new blog. It takes amazing pictures up close. The only down side is I wish their was a way to make the camera settings easier to access. For example as events are going on lighting, scenary & backdrops change. I would love to be able to change for such settings in a faster way as I am shooting.

3 out of 5 stars   Beware slow shutter speed
By Tenormary on July 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 2.7" Vari-Angle LCD (CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Good Image Quality, Good Image Stabilization
Cons: Poor For Action Shots, Lag / Shutter Delay, Very Slow Shutter
Other Comments: I'll stick with this camera until I figure it out. I wanted something smaller to use in place of my SLR and this may be it, but not yet. Becasue I am not accustomed to this type of camera, I may be too critical. I'll let you know in another couple of months. Another $100 and I cold have an SLR.

5 out of 5 stars   A bridge camera as good as an SLR
By Charles of the lake on June 17, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 2.7" Vari-Angle LCD (CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus, Good Image Stabilization, Tilt /Swivel LCD, Viewfinder
Cons:
Other Comments: I found out about this camera from my brother-in law. He raved about it as did others. We also own a Canon SX260, which my wife now uses. Both cameras are excellant, but I would rather take the SX40 with the viewfinder in bright conditions. The images are some of the best I have seen. I recommend this camera to anyone. (substitutes are SX30 (older) & SX 50 (newer) with a 50X zoom.

2 out of 5 stars   Not What I was Expecting
By Stevia the amateur on June 13, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 2.7" Vari-Angle LCD (CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Tilt /Swivel LCD, Good Image Stabilization, Easy To Use, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Quality
Cons: Bad Macro Hard To Use, SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED, Poor In Low Light
Other Comments: I bought this to replace my old Powershot which had lots of buttons on the frame for macro, portrait, etc. I like to be able to do closeup of flowers, bugs, etc. occasionally. While this camera focuses really great at a distance, the macro feature is really complicated to use so your subject may fly away before you ever get your photo. Hard to focus. I really liked my old camera and this one is a big disappointment.

Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 2.7" Vari-Angle LCD (CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Quiet, Good Image Stabilization, Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Tilt /Swivel LCD, Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus, High ISO Performance, Fast Shutter Speed
Cons:
Other Comments: I don't have a car, so I've had to get creative in my yard with the camera. It does a wonderful job of "seeing" what I see & capturing it. I enjoyed capturing sunlight streaming from behind clouds with my Canon 40D, but it is too heavy for me now. This camera is perfect & I really like the 35X zoom esp during a full moon. I bought a tripod, but don't need it bc the IS is so good! Takes way above average photos of clouds w/o any special filter

5 out of 5 stars   Tops in Sharpness
By Dave on March 02, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 2.7" Vari-Angle LCD (CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus, Sharpest Lens - Amazing, Good Image Quality, Tilt /Swivel LCD
Cons: H, Control Settings
Other Comments: After reading reviews, the fast lens, long zoom, AND IMAGE QUALITY, I purchased this camera. The controls are a nightmare, easy to change by accident. The lens more than makes up for any design flaws. It is the sharpest lens I've ever used. The manual is on the computer. Prepare to spend a few hours learning to change the settings. "Program" setting works perfect. I recomend this camera to anyone who desires the very best image quality, at any price.
