Canon PowerShot SX40 HS 1080p HD Video test Review official

London, UK, 15th September 2011 -- Canon today unveils the latest addition to its range of powerful, ultra-zoom compact cameras. Combining an incredible 35x ultrawide- angle zoom lens, full manual control and Full HD movie capture, the PowerShot SX40 HS is ideal for photographers who want the flexibility and control of a DSLR and the versatility of a huge focal range packed into a compact body.

Providing outstanding image quality, the PowerShot SX40 HS is among the first PowerShot models to feature Canon's new DIGIC 5 image processor which boosts the performance of the HS System and offers advanced shooting options as well as supporting Full HD (1080p) movie capture. The amazing zoom range allows any subject to be captured with ease, from high-speed action at the racetrack to distant wildlife on the African plains and abstract close-ups. New Intelligent IS technology also ensures still images are crisp, and video footage is smooth and clear.

PowerShot SX40 HS -- key features :

35x ultra wide-angle zoom with USM
Image Stabilizer (4.5-stop). Intelligent IS
HS System (12.1 MP) with DIGIC 5
Full HD, HDMI
6.8 cm (2.7″) vari-angle LCD, EVF
Smart Auto, Multi-area WB
High-speed Burst HQ
Manual modes
Zoom Framing Assist
Range of accessories

Bile albe:
zoom mare - 35x - printre cele mai mari de pe piata
diafragma luminoasa pentru un zoom compact (f2.7-f5.8)
12mp si calitate foarte buna a imaginii gratie Digic V.
ecran rabatabil
video full hd - buton REC dedicat
video cu audio manual
autofocus decent
ergonomica ok
construit din plastic de calitate foarte buna
butoane dedicate pentru setarile de baza si un buton personalizabil
filmeaza in orice mod (dar mereu auto, cu e+/-)
setare manuala putere blitz
talpa de blitz - mascata foarte elegant de un capac integrat in design
balans de alb custom
stabilizator foarte bun


Bile negre:
usita de baterie prea aproape de surubul de trepied - daca este montata o talpa de trepied nu se poate accesa compartimentul de baterie/ card
video doar auto
rolling shutter (jeleu) exagerat - deranjant la miscari bruste ale camerei
focus manual dificil (o rotita cu o cursa foarte lunga)
nu are intrare de microfon pentru sunet
nu trage raw
fringe purpuriu la wide si imagini cam "moi" la zoom mare



Verdict:

SX40HS este fratele mai mare si bine tunat al deja "vechiului" SX30HS, o camera care se pare ca a reusit sa imbine intr-un obiect atat de compact performante pe care acum cativa ani amatorii de fotografie nici nu si le imaginau.

Daca nu vreti sa faceti pasul la un sistem DSLR si vreti o camera buna la toate, cu zoom mare, filmare full HD, rezolutie buna, versatilitate, ergonomie si calitate buna a constructiei, probabil ca noul Canon SX40HS este din multe puncte de vedere cea mai buna varianta.

Next time try to leave the original sound instead of music! Because of your music I can assume that the original sound of SX40 sucks.

[3puncte]

@probacont2007 well, you are right, the sound is not amazing, like any other sound from a built in mic; since it was a windy day the sound was pretty harsh so that has my choice...

[NoSevenProductions]

@3puncte External Mic input?

[3puncte]

@NoSevenProductions nope

hi i'm planning to buy the poweshot s100 or sx40hs. can you help me decide which one is better? is there anything the s100 can do better in terms of features than the sx40hs other than the obvious small size?

[3puncte]

@mqz4 the only real advantage of the sx40hs is the 35x zoom; if you don't need that amount of zoom, go for the s100.

@3puncte I think your video is awesome! Your purpose of your clip as your title says is of the "video test review" of this fantastic camera, and NOT the sound! Some of the wind can be heard around 3:15 which shows a bit of the original sound!  I did some research on this camera today, and ended up buying 2 bundles (camera, mini-tripod, case, 4 GB memory card) for Christmas, 1 each for my wife and daughter! Your video makes me even happier that I bought this camera! Thanks!
