        It is an excellent long zoom camera. I have Canon T2i also and picture quality is almost same for 8X10 picture. Only thing negative is the neck strap. It looks so cheap and very uncomfortable. So, I purchased comfortable neck strap from other place for $5.

        The articulated (tilt/swivel) LCD screen is wonderful for high and low shots & the viewfinder is great for when you're in very bright light situations that make the screen difficult to see. Optical zoom takes great pics inside even without flash.

              A:

              Yes, you are able to attach filters to the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS; the thread is 67mm.

              I apologize; the 67mm filter is not regularly stocked through Staples.com. However, we may be able to specially order it for you. For more information, please contact (800) 333-3330; an associate will fill out a form directed to our non-stock special order department. Your inquiry will be researched and you will be contacted within 2 business days.

            Hi I would like to purchase a canon digital camera for capture the handbag. Please advise this camera to compare to Rebel T3. Thanks
            Asked on 3/15/2012 by Anonymous from New york

            2 answers

            • A:

              Well, the T3 will operate better in low light, and with a 50mm lens will be ideal for travelling in a handbag, but the SX40 is not only smaller, it has a wide zoom range as standard, is lighter, and probably a better all round travel camera, especially if weight and bulk is an issue. The T3 however will take slightly better pictures, but in most cases this won't be an issue, as the extra zoom as standard on the SX40 makes up for the shortcomings.
