I think there's someone who has hacked the USB port to be used for a remote shutter. <br /><br />Here's a discussion:<br />http://www.flickr.com/groups/canonsx30/discuss/72157625533178730/<br /><br />Charlie has got the inside scoop on this. Looks too complicated for me. Too bad Canon hasn't supported this camera as a full system camera.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10628622073155424195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699241.post-21529147426325268922011-11-28T03:36:21.026-08:002011-11-28T03:36:21.026-08:00Great review.

It already is very versatile so would these add value or simply weight to the bag :).

Very handy to use, and some shots that just aren't possible with other cameras.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10628622073155424195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699241.post-77235137346752590682011-11-06T12:32:28.881-08:002011-11-06T12:32:28.881-08:00Have my SX40hs now and like it a lot. For what it...Have my SX40hs now and like it a lot. For what its worth, I discovered a useful rapid focus tool for wildlife photos where the camera will not autofocus on the subject. I have the shortcut button set to AFL, and the focus will re-adjust and then lock each time I hit the shortcut button. This way I can accurately adjust focus on something in the same plane, and then move to the subject. Then all other adjustments that I want to be automatic will re-adjust keeping the desired focus when I press the shutter button.10Stroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395819122644331296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699241.post-12547726498563450602011-10-18T14:41:46.480-07:002011-10-18T14:41:46.480-07:00I'm loving it at the beach.

Just right for some situations--especially when I'm carrying the 2 year old on my back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10628622073155424195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699241.post-90083900731400630472011-10-17T19:49:26.068-07:002011-10-17T19:49:26.068-07:00i do not have the SX40 at hand yet, but greatly en...i do not have the SX40 at hand yet, but greatly enjoyed the review. not only a professional one, but a lover of photography to boot. thx a lot, my mind is set, now the wallet has got to follow ...<br /><br />Amos Shvueli<br />Haifa, Israelogaldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714793632536113528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699241.post-44193626207486608962011-10-13T08:37:02.823-07:002011-10-13T08:37:02.823-07:00Peter, my SX10'S focus does not change smoothl...Peter, my SX10'S focus does not change smoothly as the focus wheel is turned. As the wheel is turned, the focus does not change for a period, then jumps to a different setting. This can be seen as well as the focus bar in the viewfinder jerkily moves. The other issue is that often in trying to move the wheel, a little forward pressure causes a switch to another function like ISO. Bad ergonomics. Oh for a focus wheel. I thought my camera was defective until I tried another and experienced the same problem. I'm eager to try the later model to see if this is improved. Sorry for the whining...10Stroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395819122644331296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699241.post-23467178691962518772011-10-11T23:52:00.864-07:002011-10-11T23:52:00.864-07:0010Stroy, I have never used an sx10.

What makes the sx10 manual focus unusable? I think I'd have to know that before I could compare it. <br /><br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10628622073155424195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699241.post-66422054418601495232011-10-11T11:00:17.933-07:002011-10-11T11:00:17.933-07:00I like my SX10is a lot, except for the virtually u...I like my SX10is a lot, except for the virtually unusable manual focus. Yes, I am a birder, and really need the focus overrride abilty. I have not found an SX40 locally, and would like to know if they have improved this feature.
