Canon Powershot SX40 HS Digital Camera 

 

 

The SX40 HS features a 35x zoom stretching from an ultra-wide-angle 24mm all the way to 840mm, 1080p AVC videos and 10.3fps burst shooting. There's a hotshoe underneath a plastic protective cover, an electronic viewfinder and an articulated LCD screen.  The full complement of manual exposure modes is included, and the preview image becomes brighter or darker to reflect exposure settings.

Focus control is particularly important in an ultra-zoom camera, as telephoto shots have a shallow depth of field so choosing the right focus point is critical. The Canon SX40 HS has a dedicated button for moving the focus point around the frame. There's also a track focus option for tracking moving subjects.
