PowerShot SX740 HS, Point and Shoot Digital Camera, Optical Zoom, 4K Video, Black

Great photos, easy to use. My only beef is no viewfinder. In bright light conditions it's hard to lock in with the screen. Otherwise a very nice camera!!

Not sure why they would sell this camera under a listing that says Canon cameras US. Wouldn't that suggest that it was a USA version. There is no Canon warranty on this product. Just with the third party seller. The good part is that the menus are in English. I guess it is hard to find the USA version. The seller shipped it 2 day Air and the item arrived when suggested. Seems like a very nice camera. Will register with the seller's warranty. Who knows what the warranty covers. Nothing included in the box about the warranty coverage. Fingers crossed.

Was very upset that, not only did I receive a camera that was meant to be sold ONLY in Japan, and, therefore was not covered by the Canon warranty outside of Japan, but also that I had to pay the $24 in shipping and insurance to return it. NOT ACCEPTABLE. The seller said it would be covered under a seller's warranty. But, what happens to that warranty if the seller goes out of business? I just wouldn't be comfortable not having the Canon warranty on the camera.

When I want professional quality photos I use my canon 5D Mark IV with Canon “L” series lenses. You won’t get this caliber of photo quality from the SX740 HS. Nor should you expect to. And for up close everyday photos, it’s hard to beat my iPhone 14 Pro (the one camera I always have with me). But for situations in which I’m to far away to use my iPhone and I don’t have my 5D Mark IV and a telephoto lens handy, this camera fits the bill very nicely. When I travel, I am normally not on a photography adventure, just a vacation but always take a lot of pictures for the memories. It’s great to have a mega zoom camera that I can carry in my pocket to cover all situations. Camera focus is fast and accurate and I can always dial in the best exposure I can get (when I have the time I always prefer to go “manual” and choose the shutter speed, aperture and ISO. When I don’t have time, “auto mode” usually gets you close enough to dial in during post processing. I also am very impressed with burst shooting capabilities to capture action shots. Up to 10 shots per second and am very impressed with how it maintains very accurate focus. In most situations, picture quality is very good but not professional quality. All in all, a near perfect travel camera to have along with my iPhone.

Great camera for traveling with. It's lightweight and compact and the zoom is amazing. I'm still learning to use it more efficiently, but so far it's pretty easy to use. The selfie mode is a big improvement! Battery life is very good too! I'm just using it to take general photos and video. I'm not vlogging with it, though I could if I wanted to. I am an armature photographer so I am very happy with the quality of photos I'm getting from it.

Excellent little camera. Was recommended by others for quick photos for being on putting with friends. Easy to use. Some specific functions if you want to tighten your photo skills. Easy instructions. Nice size for travel.

I am beginning birder, and chose this camera for its long zoom (960 mm 35 mm equivalent) and its compact size. I did not want the expense, weight, and bulk of an interchangeable lens camera, or of a "bridge" camera. Because the SX740's small size and light weight, it's been easy to switch from binoculars to the camera to take pictures. (I "wear" it on my wrist with a strap.) I have had the SX 740 for about two months, and have taken about 30,000 pictures with it. I am very satisfied with the camera, and would buy it again. At long distances in reasonable light, the camera at highest zoom can take images of small birds that are acceptable enough to help me identify them. Images of larger birds at closer distances are great (see photos). I use Program mode, with spot focusing, auto ISO, and servo AF (continuous focus). The SX740 uses the same battery (NB-13L) as my Canon G7X. As a bonus, the battery lasts significantly longer in the SX740 - most times I can go two hours taking lots of pictures without battery change. Having said the above, potential purchasers should understand that this kind of camera has inherent limitations. Overall, pictures taken at high zoom will not be as sharp as those taken with a quality interchangeable lens camera. By strict eBird picture quality criteria, photos I take (usually at high zoom) are in the 1-4/5 star range, average high two's - still generally acceptable for upload to eBird. People should not expect that every high zoom picture will be good. I take multiple continuous pictures by holding the shutter down, and I can usually get at least one good picture that way. The SX740 does not have a viewfinder - the LCD screen, even at the highest brightness setting, can be hard to see in bright daylight. Finding a small bird in the bushes on the screen can also be difficult - the Framing Assist (zoom out) button can be helpful in this situation, but not always.
