Quick Take: The odd man out in the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-S series, the DSC-S40 doesn't resemble its line mates in any way. A compact 4-megapixel digital camera with a 32mm-to-96mm (35mm equivalent) 3X zoom lens, the S40 seems to have more in common with the similarly spec'd Sony Cyber Shot DSC-L1: its design is slightly bigger, it takes the larger Memory Stick Pro media rather than the Duo, and it has 32MB of internal memory. The identical twin of the DSC-S90, Sony Cyber Shot DSC-S60 differs in two minor ways: it has a 2-inch LCD, compared with the DSC-90's 2.5-inch display, and comes with a set of rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries.

Summary: Though the LCD monitor is quite large and dominates the rear panel, Sony managed to keep all the functions necessary close at hand and easy to operate. Grab the camera in your right hand and your middle and third finger naturally grab the angled ridge ...
