Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera 4GB Bundle (E1CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Good Image Quality, Large Clear LCD, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Great Zoom, Easy To Use, Good in Low Light
Cons:
Other Comments: I have this same camera and my granddaughter was borrowing it all the time to take pictures of her sister's sports so when Christmas came she got her own. She loves the big screen and the adjustability of it - the way it catches motion - she had one picture of a runner with the dust flying. Totally awesome! I especially love the zoom for wildlife. After you take the picture you can zoom it in even closer. Highly recommend!!

By RV6AV8R on May 10, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera 4GB Bundle (E1CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Small / Compact, Short Lag Time, Nice Body Color, Good in Low Light, Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Large Clear LCD
Cons:
Other Comments: I just replaced a Powershot S3 (six years old, from Buydig) with this one, primarily for the longer zoom. I've had many SLR's over the last 40 years and now just want a point/shoot with great zoom (and no bag of lenses to tote) - this is it. You'll really need to brace yourself for max zoom, but the image stabilization even there is amazingly good. The only thing I miss is occasional macro capability and manual focus, but then this isn't an SLR. For me, this is as good as it gets for this type of camera, hence the 5 stars.

By Photocrazymommy on April 04, 2012

Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera 4GB Bundle (E1CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Easy To Use, Great Zoom, Large Clear LCD, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Short Lag Time, Good Image Quality
Cons:
Other Comments: I wanted a camera that would catch the "cute" things my 5 yr old does before they were over. This camera is awesome, I actually get the shot I want and not the weird "after" pose. I used it this weekend to take pictures at my daughters T-ball game and got some really good shots! The zoom on this camera is unbelieveable, if you're thinking of getting one, do it now!

5 out of 5 stars   Outstanding, Superb Camera
By Larryw on December 25, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera 4GB Bundle (E1CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Super Performance, Best Color, Super Sharp
Cons: none
Other Comments: I've been a NIkon fan but I recently sold my D70 after I got this camera. It does more with less than my Nikon ever could. I have never had a camera this good. Superb color, great sharpness and an easy to use menu system. The 840mm zoom lens is perfection in action when combined with Canon's image stabilization system. Best camera I've ever owned.

Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera 4GB Bundle (E1CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Tremendous Zoom range, Excellent in low light, vari-angle lcd, Small light compact, Full Manual Capable, Smooth quiet zoom, full 1080p video, Auto Multi-Area WB, Very close MACRO, Auto Image Stabilization, Slo-Mo Video Capable, High Burst Rate - 8 shots, One Touch Video On, HQuality Sound Recording, Excellent overall
Cons: No Auto Flash Popup, Moderate LCD Pixel count, Pwr On by Display button, Only 12 MP rating
Other Comments: The SX40-HS works well in all shooting situations from still to action scenes, portraits to landscapes with excellent clarity and color rendition. One of the things I use SX40-HS for is model railroading video and close-up photography in tight spaces. It has very close MACRO capability. It is an overall excellent power zoom camera for indoor and outdoor use. Except for non-interchangeable lens ability, it fits right in next to the DSLRs. Placement of the Display (>) button (used for reviewing what you've shot) along the right edge of the hand grip area is both a plus and a minus feature: It makes for easy access for reviewing. But when the camera is off, accidental pressing of the button turns the camera on. If the lens cap is on and the the LCD display is closed, you don't know the camera is on and you are draining the battery. Battery life is excellent. But get a spare.

4 out of 5 stars   Another Gem from Canon
By Crag2crag on November 16, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon Powershot SX40 HS 35x Zoom 12.1 MP Digital Camera 4GB Bundle (E1CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Lightweight, Many options
Cons: Slow reaction to shutter
Other Comments: This is a great little camera. It has a variety of options to help you get the photo you want. I photograph many performing arts events and it does very well in the low light at capturing the image without blur. The only issue I have so far is that it seems to react slowly to the shutter button being pushed.
