The SX40 has a larger max aperture. To me, that outweighs the longer zoom. And, with CHDK, it will save RAW images as the SX50 does.
The SX40 is, other than having a shorter reach than the 50 and 60, an exceptional camera well worth, I'm sure you'll find, the really low price for which a refurb is now available.
