Don't exactly know because I bought this kit as a gift to friend. As soon i find out I will post the answer. The last time I've talked to my friend she was happy w/ the gift. Maybe she has figured out.

The kit has an adaptor ring that screws into the lens of the sx40. If you look into your lens you can see the threads. The adaptor ring is metal as well. Then the filters and lens mounts to the adaptor ring. Nice. Jeff

Hi, I have a Canon SX 20 IS camera. This kit comes with a lens adaptor which can be attached to the existing lense, the lense adaptor allows you to mount the telephoto and wide angle lenses. Kwlvt

Tim, while you are right about the old lenses i.e. pre-EOS, also remember that any full frame canon DSLR such as the 5D or the 1D mark 3 will only use the EF lenses and will not work with the cheap EF-S lenses since the mount is different

Yes, the lens in this camera is incorporated in the body, you cant change it. I had this one a few years ago, and it takes very nice pictures, but after two years the zoom's motor broke, and fix it cost almost the same as a new camera. A friend had the exactly same problem.

Call up the Vello Free Wave hyperlink (top of page) and look at the 7th item down the list. There is a SX50 listed as compatible, so it should work on a SX40. Dave

Good day, I have a Canon SX50 Powershot and it works great with this card. I realize it's not quite the same, but probably a good indicator. Furthermore, Cannon's manual for the SX400 IS says, "The following memory cards (sold separately) can be used, regardless of capacity: SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, SDXC memory cards". It does have a disclaimer that not all cards are tested or verified, but it does suggest that compliant SDHC cards (like this one) should typically work fine. SOURCE (see page three): http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0300015698/01/pssx400is-cusp-en.pdfI hope that eases your mind! Good day, I have a Canon SX50 Powershot and it works great with this card.

Not sure I have an SX40 but if the diameter of the lens is the same as the SX40 it should work. Go to www.dpreview.com and go to camera brand then click on camera type, and them make and click on the stats. Go down to lens diameter on the SX10 and see if the diameter is the same as the SX40. If it is the same it should work.

I have a Canon SX50HS and it works great. I highly recommend it. You can't go wrong with this!

They make a BOATLOAD of lenses for that camera. Any of the EF-S and EF lenses work with it.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for the SX40. Actually, Canon does not manufacture underwater cases for the sx40, neither does Ikelite, another underwater case manufacturer.

Alice, I won't defend some of the SX40's faults - like taking shots in low light - but in over 20,000 photos with this camera, I've had no problem with it being slow EXCEPT in "Auto." Canon changed the processor from the 20 and 30 and came down from 14 to 12.1 MP to speed up the Powershot, and they succeeded. I would suggest you give the camera a workout in Av, Tv, P, or manual modes.Otherwise, I've used a Sony and an Olympus and have see the "Busy" signal more often than an old telephone.

I agree with the others who have answered before me...yes it will work. I used the strap with the Canon SX40HS on a 1 week bicycle tour. The camera weighs in like a small DSLR with a standard lens. I wore it 6+ hours/day with no neck strain, no flopping around and the ability to take photos while riding (not recommended from a safety standpoint) that no one else could get. The strap is put on like you would a backpack and then you snap the camera into place....you are then "locked in". The straps are a little stiff at first, but overall an amazing product....I love it!

The SX series cameras are not DSLRs and do not come with their own lens threads. The purpose of the ring adapter included in this kit is to provide the camera with the lens threads that it lacks. The ring adapter gives the camera 58mm lens threads (not 52mm like someone else had mentioned previously) and once installed you can attach any 58mm accessory, including lens caps, UV, ND, CPL, IR, star, macro close-up filters, etc. They all work wonderfully. We also offer kits that come with wide angle and telephoto lenses and many customers are happy with the results but please remember this is not a camera that was originally designed to be used with these larger type of accessories and so the results may vary. They are great for experimenting and exploring new types of photography. Please let me know if you have any futher questions. I would be happy to help. Walter Digital Goja

No. A DSLR has interchangeable lens. But if you are looking for the best camera you will ever get for your money, then buy the X-S1. I have owned several SLR's (now called a "D"SLR because of "Digital") in my 40+ years in the art of photography, and this is my camera of choice. I would not own another "D"SLR. If you want to get into DSLR's fine. They are quite pricey and unless you are going to play "Keep up with the Jones", buying lens after lens, then be my guest. Truly, this is a remarkable camera, and has more bells and whistles than any novice will ever understand, or use. The camera is for the serious armature or a professional. I recommend it with a 5 star intro. with no reservation at all. Thanks, Boone

Yes, all of the Canon lenses are interchangeable on all of their camera models.

Thank you! I haven't heard of the sx40 i'll check it out. I really like the specs. On the sx230. The images looked better than the Sony hx9 I was gonna get. But the canon seem to beat it with quality of picture. Thanks again

The Fujifilm X-S1 is a fixed lens system. As such, you cannot change lenses on this camera. The lens on this camera has a significant zoom range to cover a wide range of photography needs. If needed, you can add some front-end diopters to cover macro subjects. But, the lens is already very capable at the long focal length end, capable of moderate macro work without supplementation.
