Canon PowerShot SX40 HS Digital Camera

Canon's PowerShot SX40 HS Digital Camera raises the bar for optical zoom lenses--way, way up. A Zoom Framing Assist makes it easy to follow a moving subject, even using the super telephoto.
The lens uses a double-sided aspherical glass-molded lens, an ultra-high refraction index lens, enhanced negative refractive power, and UD glass to correct wide-angle distortion and suppress chromatic aberration. With the 12.1MP CMOS sensor, you'll get high resolution pictures, whether you're shooting landscapes, pictures of the kids, or those 2 blue herons on the other side of the lake.
The high resolution 2.7" Vari-Angle display screen makes it easy to frame and play back your photos and video--that's right, you also get gorgeous 1080p full HD video, which can be shot using image stabilization and full zoom, and, with stereo sound. The Super Slow Motion Movie function lets you see everything in really, really slooooow motion. There's also Advanced Smart AUTO, which recognizes and sets optimal settings for 32 pre-defined shooting situations. Canon's proprietary DIGIC 5 Image Processor delivers faster, more accurate noise reduction for better image quality, even at high ISO ratings.
