Camera Canon PowerShot SX40 HS

An advanced premium compact, one of those devices that are called "pseudo SLRs". This model stands out primarily for its powerful optics, providing an optical zoom of up to 35x. With a relatively modest 12.1 megapixel sensor, the camera, however, can shoot 1080p video. The display is quite small — 2.7", 230K pixels; at the same time, it is made swivel and complemented by an electronic viewfinder with a frame coverage of 100%. The communications kit includes an HDMI output and a direct print function; an external flash connection is also provided.
