4 out of 5 stars   Probably a terrific camera
By Sasquatch on November 17, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon PowerShot SX40 HS 35x Optical Zoom Digital Camera + Memory Card, Case & More Kit (E2CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Easy To Use, Good Image Stabilization, Small / Compact, Great Zoom, Large Clear LCD
Cons: Poor Image Quality
Other Comments: Camera produced slightly fuzzy photos, like it wasn't quite focused. Returned it yesterday for a replacement. Probably the camera was defective as I have seen photos taken with the SX40HS and they were super sharp.I know Canon builds great cameras as I've had a G1 and an S2IS and they took great pictures. The kit I purchased with the camera was well worth the $10.00.

5 out of 5 stars   Great price for a great step-up camera
By Super spectator on June 28, 2012

Review submitted for Canon PowerShot SX40 HS 35x Optical Zoom Digital Camera + Memory Card, Case & More Kit (E2CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Great Zoom, Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Good in Low Light, Short Lag Time, Large Clear LCD
Cons:
Other Comments: We were wanting a little more features than our previous point and shoot cameras, but weren't ready to dive into worrying about manually operating the camera. This camera gave us some key features we were desiring, including: greater zoom capabilities, good image stabilization, good video quality, good low-light pictures, and crisp, clean pictures. It is very easy to use and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a little more bang from their camera. The camera also arrived in the specified time, in excellent condition, and for a great price.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Zoom, Great Picture Quality
By Andy on March 14, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon PowerShot SX40 HS 35x Optical Zoom Digital Camera + Memory Card, Case & More Kit (E2CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Nice Body Color, Good Image Stabilization, Good Image Quality, Great Zoom, Easy To Use, Short Lag Time
Cons:
Other Comments: The zoom is awesome and you could take picture clearly from far away. The stablization is great, making it easy to use. WHen I'm taking photo of scenary, I even do not have to use tripod. Digic 5 that is built in this camera is effective in removing the noise in the picture. The color contrast is close to reality when taking pictures of people. The LCD is spinnable in 270 degrees. But the resolution of LCD screen is a little bit low. The pictures look much better in the computers.

4 out of 5 stars   An upgrade for the budget minded.
By Steve on February 29, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon PowerShot SX40 HS 35x Optical Zoom Digital Camera + Memory Card, Case & More Kit (E2CNPSSX40HS)
Pros: Creative experiemtation, Easy To Use, Great Zoom, Electronic viewfinder, Mac friendly, Good Image Quality, Adaptable for filters, Large Clear LCD, Video thumb button
Cons: Won't fit in pocket, Small hand grip, Manual flash operation, Non-threaded lens opening
Other Comments: Nice camera! Bought it as an upgrade to my PowerShot A85. Mainly wanted HD video, but will gladly take all other familiar features too! The built in "filters" mode and other creative options (such as highlighting an individual color) make experimentation enjoyable. Zoom is incredible, and focuses well when applied. However, it takes a steady hand to stay on your subject. Starting and stopping video with the thumb button is easy and can be done from any shooting mode (i.e. sepia tone). No need to circle the program dial to video and then shoot. Nice feature! The camera is light in your hands and is easy to manuver for horizontal / vertical photos. The lens opening should be threaded to allow for filters (Cokin or others) but can be easily convered with an adapter sold seperatley. Some corner cropping takes place with a Cokin filter holder attached at full wide angle, but a little touch of the zoom corrects that. The shutter/shoot button can be a bit touchy and you need to be patient for the lens to focus. Wait for the beep before you press it! Shooting more than one frame is pretty quick and the lag isn't that bad. Pressing the review button to see the photos you took without turing the camera on is a nice feature, but I opten hit that button while taking the camera in and out the camera bag. Overall, a great camera for those seeking an upgrade from a traditional "pocket" point and shoot to a more advanced camera without the DSLR price.
