    Arrived on time and in excellent condition. BestBuy sent several emails to keep me informed as the order and shipping proceeded. The Canon SX740hs isn't the latest version of this camera, but it meets my needs and seems to be a good value.

    Replaced my old Canon. So far I like it. Some new features that are nice, but some things they changed from my old model that I wish they hadn’t. Seems to have a hard time focusing sometimes in certain modes, but the zoom is great.

    We recently went on a trip to Europe and in a number of instances, we saw old structures in the distance. With this camera, it was possible to zoom in closely and see detail which would have been missed. There was no jitter and photos came out really clear.

    This camera takes excellent pictures. The image stabilization features allow taking very clear pictures, even with very long digital zoom. A camera a novice can use and get nearly professional results. Low light pictures are also very good.

    Takes amazing pictures with sharpness and clarity from the 20+ megapixels at all zoom levels. At max brightness setting, the screen is easy to see even in sunlight. How Canon crams all the quality and features into such a small container is hard to fathom.

    Camera took great pictures. We were disappointed in the battery life. Also the led screen is fixed and unprotected on the back.

    I really like my Cannon SX720HS its small with a zoom of 40X, we take a lot of trips overseas and this small camera is much easier to use and carry than my larger camera. It takes excellent pictures and I am not loaded down with a large bulky camera.

    I bought this camera for trip to Europe. Very good shots outdoors even up to maximum magnification. Excelled in indoor shots of cathedrals and museums when no flash permitted. Anxious to explore all features.

    My Wife's camera died and she wanted a replacement rather than just using her cellphone. This had all the right features plus a really good zoom for shooting lighthouse from cruise ships.

    There are many options or you can just use automatic. Push the button down half way to focus then push down all the way to take a photo. The zoom is amazing! And I couldn't believe how bright our cave photos were!

    We bought this for our daughter who wanted something more than a camera phone and haven't been dissapointed at all so far. Takes a little time to use all the functions but much easier than carrying around a big multi lens camera.

    This is a super nice camera. You can zoom in a lot. If you are in the market for a Canon Camera or any Camera, buy this Camera. You will be glad you did and you won't be disappointed. I love the color of this Camera too.

    Went to get a point and shoot with a decision already made on a different camera. Sales associate asked me what I wanted out of the camera and then proceeded to show me why this one was the better choice. Gives me all I wanted! Couldn't be happier! Great, clear pics.....day or night and a magnificent zoom! Love it!

    This is a very good point and shoot camera for someone who wants to pick up a camera and shoot not worry about which is the right setting. The pictures are better than average. I would have like a gps in the camera but not many choices have it.
