Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: great quality at reasonable price
Cons: Full written user manual not provided with camera
Great so far. No problems except hard to learn to use without a printed user manual. Great quality at the price. The best feature is the high zoom in a camera of the type. Would recomment to beginner or somewhat more advanced user.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: unique features for a camera in this price range
Cons: less photo settings than I'd hoped
This camera is pretty good in low-light conditions. Has some unique features and settings that are actually useful, and some settings that are more of a novelty than anything. I wish it had more 'scene' options, like one for blurred backgrounds, or a sport setting that -doesn't- take multiple shots. But it does have a macro option that can be applied to any setting, rather than being a setting by itself, which is nice.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: Exellent picture quality
Cons: Flash doesn't pop up automatically
Got this camera for my girlfriend for Christmas. Has exellent picture quality even while handheld at the highest zoom. There's a ton of features which are easy to use once you learn what they are. When paired with a 32 GB memory card, we couldn't have run out of space while on our vacation if we tried. The battery life lasted all week without a recharge. The "auto mode" for determining type of picture worked very well also. If we had to find some cons, the flash has to be manually opened for it to operate. Also, when trying to take self pictures, some of the buttons on the back of the camera could get in the way and accidentally pressed. There was some shutter delay which we noticed when trying to take scenic pictures from our moving bus to and from the hotel, but the scenery that we did get photos of came out clear. We can not comment on the video, because we didn't use it. Overall, we loved the camera and would definately recommend it to others, especially for the price.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: Very long zoom ratio.
Cons: Lots of noise (grainy appearance) even at ISO 400
I have been a loyal Canon user for over 20 years (I've bought more than 12 of their cameras). I was so disappointed when I looked at the picture quality from this camera. I exchanged it for a Nikon P 510 > much better picture quality and has about the same features.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Cons: Not able to select focal point in sport mode
We have two of these now. Our daughter bought one, we liked it so much we also upgraded to it. Great zoom, nice screen, easy to use & good quality/value like all Canon cameras we've had.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: The zoom is unreal, I could read my buddies t-shirt at 400 yds!!, Picture clarity and definition is as good as it gets
Cons: Price around $450+ is alot but once ive mastered this camera im sure i will forget the price
I bought it for taking pics of game animals while hunting, I hunt a field where I can see 400 yds and you can &quot;clear as day-no question&quot; count points on deer at 400 yds. The 1080hd video is also unbelievable.. i only have shot a few videos and taken pictures on mostly the auto settng and i'm very satisfied.. its gotta be the closest to a professional camera you can buy but $500-$1000 cheaper!!<br />Pic quality 10/10<br />video quality 10/10<br />Zoom 11/10

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: I use it for many things, but like doing videos as well as take pictures of children, birds and dogs
Cons: Nothing. I love it!!!!
I asked for this camera for Christmas and found it very user friendly. I am not a techi, so it had to be easy for me to use. I even understand the menu and can choose which scene I want to shoot. I don't always let the camera do it for me.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: Easy to use, great zoom, good price, great picture quality
This camera is really easy to use and great for beginners. I bought it for our family vacation and it took amazing pictures. The autofocus works really well and the zoom comes in handy when trying to take shots from far away. The size isn't too big for a camera of this quality. I originally wanted a DSLR but it was too expensive so after looking, this was perfect because it is in the shape of a DSLR and also has a very similar photo quality. I also love all the features on it like the toy camera effect, fish-eye effect and color select.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: Great quality photos and movies
Cons: Nothing yet
This camera replaces a Canon S-3 I have used for several years. The features and controls are very similar, making the transition seamless. I love the higher resolution and the great zoom on this camera. The results have been outstanding, with sharp images from widest angle to highest power telephoto. The Image Stabilization at max zoom is very good. Videos are sharp and very little jitter. Overall, I would rate this camera at the top of the Point and Shoot class. It has plenty of adjustable action to satisfy the most ardent amateur photographer.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: Great price. Excellent quality picture. Easy to use.
Cons: So far no issues.
Haven't had a lot of time with camera but so far it has performed better than I expected for a non-DSLR camera. Good camera for those who want something better than a basic point and shot and not have to pay high cost for a DSLR.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: SLR Format, price, features
Bought it for my daughter. She has been using it for school projects, fun projects with friends and is trying videos. No complaints from her. Battery life is fine and she is teaching herself the features. I like and trust Cannon products. My first SLR was a Cannon AE-1 I bought in 1982. It still works just like it did when I got it.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: Easy to use, has optic viewer plus LCD
Cons: Too easy to push buttons with right hand while holding.
I'm very happy with the performance of this camera. It's is easy to carry, easy to frame and shoot the shot. With so many optional scene modes, it's hard to remeber how to use them and where to find the correct controls. So, I try to take 6 shots a day, using a different mode and recording the result. (Great tip from an instuctor on digital cameras.) I believe this camera will always be in my arsenal, even after I add a DSLR in the future.

Canon SX40 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD
Pros: Simple to set up & use, discounted price
Our second digital SLR, the first retired after 10 years of use. This one is about as simple as it gets, but also offers advanced features for the more sophisticated photographer. It's lightweight, has very good battery life, easy to use zoom lens and we really like the view screen. Relatively recent purchase, so we're still learning about all it can do.
