With the new version of sdk, the accepted answer does not work - it does not wait for the object to be downloaded. The following code snippet will help with the new version:

// dependencies

const AWS = require('aws-sdk');

// get reference to S3 client

const s3 = new AWS.S3();

exports.handler = async (event, context, callback) => {

var bucket = "TestBucket"

var key = "TestKey"

   try {

      const params = {
            Bucket: Bucket,
            Key: Key
        };

       var theObject = await s3.getObject(params).promise();

    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
        return;
    }  
}
