The SLR-inspired SX40 HS is neither pithy nor light. It measures 3.6 by 4.8 by 4.2 inches (HWD) and tips the scales at 21.2 ounces, or about 1.3 pounds. Nikon’s similarly styled Coolpix P500 ($399.95, 4 stars) is slimmer and slightly lighter, measuring 2.3 by 4.1 by 1.3 inches and weighing 1.1 pounds, with a shed weight wider 22.5-810mm (35mm equivalent) 36x zoom lens. The SX40’s 35x lens isn’t certainly as wide at 24mm on the short end, but it does extend to 840mm to give you a little ancillary reach on the long end while still keeping a wide angle. Stepping away from the numbers, there isn’t much of a judicious difference between the two—you can take a few steps forward or back to make up the difference on either end, and the 12-megapixel obligation gives you some room to crop a photo without sacrificing quality for online sharing or a sample sized print.

The Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM is one of the latest telephoto and wonderful-telephoto lenses to hit the market, or perhaps we should say to clobber it, given the size and weight of the 300mm and its even bigger 400mm fellow-citizen.

A fully professional telephoto lens, aimed predominantly at sports and wildlife photographers, the Pock-mark II edition of the EF 300 f/2.8L is certainly no lightweight, at 2.4kg. That's ignoring an all-new magnesium alloy body with titanium components that shave 8% off the slant of its predecessor.
