Our quick take
Canon PowerShot SX40 HS - 4.0 / 5
Super superzoom
Back-lit sensor
Bigger burst
Same old, same old
Full HD
To recap
The Canon PowerShot SX40 will keep many a superzoom snapper happy thanks to the huge 24-840mm zoom and great image quality. But the same design and low-resolution screen as its predecessor, paired with a focusing system that can’t quite outdo its rivals, leaves Canon’s latest superzoom feeling like a partial update rather than total success. Good images, but the SX40’s just not quite the best right across the board.
