    Sitting squarely in the middle of Canon's entry-level lineup, the R40 comes with a slightly redesigned look, more Wi-Fi integration, and a new 1080/60p recording mode. It has good image quality in daylight and excellent battery life, plus ample extra features.

    Plenty of zoom and better device connectivity Like the R30, the R40 provides a balance of features, adding up to an appealing package. It includes Canon's Optical Image Stabilization technology, WiFi, 8 GB of internal storage (easily expandable via an SD slot), and quite impressive video quality.
