Snapsort rates the SX40 higher than the Canon T3!

Not to sure about what geo is saying, over at dpreview a couple of guys tested the sx40 against the g12 and favored the sx40's image quality, And it handles higher iso shot amazingly well for a bridge camera.

Geo is right about the G12 having the better image quality of the two, for my photography the zoom range of the SX40 was is more important!

Geo, let's see your images! The camera did a good job for me during my trip to AZ and at home it is great for birds and flowers photography!

It's trying to be a dslr, but doesn't quite have the balls. Many people will buy it simply for the zoom range, but is that really a reason? The quality of shot might be okay for the money, and for a digicam, but a half-decent dslr and lens leaves it nowhere in terms of photographic quality. It may well be digic 5, but I'm still seeing some images (at present) that are slightly soft, could be a tad sharper, and there's a blurry look to many shots too, so how good is the IS really? It's one of those cameras people will end up buying cuz they'll see it as "jack of all trades", in that it takes an acceptable photo, does HD video and has that enormous zoom. Personally, I'd rather see some great image quality, and 'then' think about the other stuff. I see this camera's role being more of a backup for the pro (maybe), and a taster for the novice and wannabe dslr user. That said, it's a good price for what you get and many people will not expect top-notch dslr quality. I've paid much more for just a lens, so it seems like a fair deal. I guess being a dslr user, I am sorta biased, but I do have to say I'd like this camera a lot more if it just showed a little more sharpness.
This model will certainly assist any budding photographer out there in as much as it will allow the user to work with a camera that is 'almost' a dslr, but doesn't carry the price-tag. You could do a lot worse than this camera if you are a student on a budget.
It should do well and sell loads. It fills a long-awaited niche and to many the specs will be mouth-watering and too hard to resist. I personally prefer the image quality of the G12 with it's 10 MP and digic 4, but like I said, many people will fore-go the image quality of the G12 in favour of the SX40 IS zoom range. At the end of the day, it's not that it's a bad camera I suppose, it's just that it 'could' be a lil better.
So, will I buy one? Hmm. Still undecided as yet and still looking at the G12 and the awesome Nikon P7100 with it's outstanding image quality. Maybe I'll be swayed, and if I do, I'll post my shots on PBase. Really looking forward to seeing loads of pics from this camera as I know there will be tons from users who can take great shots with the lowliest of digicams and might even prove me wrong in my opinion of the SX40 IS.

Come on guys, get your photos up! :)
