It's my first slr-type like camera and I found it very easy to use. The 35x zoom was amazing, increadible, awesome etc. I bought the camera for a concert and I was very pleased. Got my videos in super clear HD format. And the swivel monitor was very useful since I have to held the camera high enough and I was still able to see what's on the screen. Considering the fact that the concert has low light setting the pictures and videos were magnificent. It's capability to take still pictures while recording video was good idea but it pause the recording and display the still picture. So if you don't want that in the video I advised not to take still picture during video recording. Since I'm a beginner in this type of camera I like the on-screen notes that says if I need the flash or not. I always use the auto button so I haven't explore other functionality yet. I recommend this bridge camera if you don't want to replace lens, want large zoom capacity at affordable price.Read full review
Such a great camera - delivers in every way. The lens quality is superb and has a smooth zoom in either direction, I love the option for eh 'conventional' viewfinder, so much better than just a screen, especially in sunlight! Have used ot for wildlife photography from long distances, and achieved some great images. The only potential downside is the size - it does not pretend to be a compact, but I also use a Canon compact if I need a smaller unit, but obviously has reduced zoom capability!
Well i was tied between nikon p510 and the canon sx40. I chose the canon and its a great camera. the zoom is excellent. I have taken some great picture of the moon. My friend could not believe that i got such close up of the moon with this little camera. Video function is great to. There is loads of other usefull funtions when taking landscape shots and you also have slow motion video which could give some funny results. have a look at some youtube videos, there is some really good reviews and some girl called fatdragon does turials on the model. Overall its a very good camera for some ones that needs great zoom and a all in one camera. I use ti have a nikon d60 with loads of lenses to carry around but now i have one camera only to carry around. The picture quality is not quite as good as a bottom range DSLR but very close. you will have to pay loads of money to get zoom as big as the canon sx40 highly recommendedRead full review
Right now this probably the best bridge camera out there! All the features for the class, It has the latest canon chip Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor, and way better quality than HS30SI. The speed shoot mode and overall speed is boosted. 35x zoom and full HD video. I wont get the quality of a proper DSLR, but its close to the entry levels. Very good camera for people that doesn't want to change/buy/carry additional lenses and accessories in a bag! Recommended Gave 4 stars for picture quality because I am used compare pictures made with mid to high range dslr and compared to them the quality is a bit grainy, and not that sharp. But for its class it gives the best quality together with panasonic lumix FZ150. Better lens on the canon, thought.
This is a fantastic camera. Image quality can be compared with that of professional cameras. Even in the user guide is written that the Canon SX40 HS should be used only for their own pleasure. Together with the automatic mode has full manual controls and many other features, allowing freedom of creativity. Canon has tried to extend battery life (Li-ion) on a single charge, but in this respect there is still room for improvement. It is good that the market has a battery model at relatively low cost. Canon SX40 HS and worth every penny given to him.
