Nope, I am the proud owner of a SX 40 and love it. The article says:

Let me tell you all one thing: If this 'replacement' is for real, my personal replacement for my SX40 will be... another SX40, to be kept unused until called into action in case of trouble-loss-stealing of the one in use.

It's a marketing gimmick, posted by a retailer. I'm sure there will be uneducated people who will believe it and buy one. Sucks to be them.

Canon will sell the SX500 by the boatload - to the average person looking for a travel/wildlife superzoom to take on vacation - not to many people on this forum. It's got all one needs for bright light shooting and it's smaller and cheaper than the competition. Sure it doesn't shoot fast, but as Ghandi said, "There's more to life than going fast."

oops Adorama

That has to be embarrassing (or a blatent lie to get sales) as its never been advertised as the sx40 replacement, and nor would it be.
