Re: SX40 HS - Cold

Still have and use the SX40 as backup to the SX50.  At 35x vs 50 zoom range I tend to favor the 50.  The humpy look of the 40 was an initial put-off but it grows on you.  The slightly faster lens is a plus but I have never noticed the difference.  Nice to have the 40/50/60 using the same battery.  All in all the SX50 wins by a good margin.

Now, just waiting for the SX70 to drop in price and get a couple major site reviews.  None seem to be in a hurry to review this camera.  Perhaps they realize it isn't going anywhere soon.
