Canon PowerShot SX40 HS Black 12.1-megapixel PowerShot digital camera

Everything's onboard

Let's see here. Wide-angle, long-zoom lens. Check. High quality CMOS sensor. Check. DiGiC 5 processor for incredible low-light performance. Got it. Scene modes, Auto modes, and Picture Effects for quick creations. Check. Manual modes for the ultimate creative control. Oh, and let's not forget Full HD 1080p video with stereo audio. Vari-angle LCD plus viewfinder. They're there too. So what doesn't this camera have? A high price. The PowerShot SX40 HS is designed for the budding photographer. You've taken some pretty cool shots with your cell, and a little time in Photoshop has some of the pics from your point-and-shoot ready to be framed. This is the next step. With the same form as expensive, interchangeable-lens DSLRs, the PowerShot SX40 has pretty much all the same pro features at more of a hobbyist price. So what are you waiting for? Order this Canon PowerShot and see just how far you can take your photography!
