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.
