Customer Ratings & Reviews

love this camera! so light and compact would recommend to anyone looking for a great small camera

Love this camera. I have a much larger Canon DSLR as well which isn't always practical in some places. This camera is easy, does in my purse and takes amazing shots.

Great camera. I carry it with me everywhere I go. Pictures are crisp. Easy to transfer between camera and phone.

The SX740HS is a big step up over the older SX620, though it's twice as much. There are some manual settings if you want to get creative, but most users will rely on the presets to get decent pictures. The wider lens, the 40x zoom and the 20.3 MP sensor will be far superior to cell phone pictures.

I’ve had this camera before it was stolen... I love it ! Hence why I bought it a second time and with COVID leaving few options!

Good purchase best bargain on a blog camera and the best option is it records in 4k

So good! I love taking pictures with it! Very easy to use and amazing quality

Easy to carry and use for all types of photos. Photo quality and file size is comparable to pro level cameras.

My son is just getting into photography. This has been a great first camera to explore different subjects from baseball to pictures of our dogs to beautiful vacation photos

Extremely happy with purchase . . . Great Camera . . . Easy to use

Love it. Good picture quality. Let this picture show proof.

Great pictures day and night. Video is crystal clear.

This is my second camera in the Canon SX series and I used my last one for about 5.5 years before it was starting to not work as well and I needed an upgrade. I mostly use it for outdoor shots while hiking and traveling. The photo quality is about the same as what you would get with a cell phone camera; however, the real benefit to this camera is the amazing zoom. Being an outdoor enthusiast, this camera takes great shots of wildlife from a distance or even a wildflower you want a picture of but don't want to trample the tundra getting close to it. I really debated upgrading to a mirrorless camera instead of sticking with a point and shoot but in the end, the small size and ease of use of this camera won out. I love that it fits easily in a jacket pocket. I do have one major issue with it. When wearing polarized sunglasses, I can't see the screen at all! Since it has no viewfinder, not being able to see the screen is a major issue. You might say that is the fault of the sunglasses and not the camera but I don't have as much of an issue with seeing the screens on my phone or my old camera in the same glasses. I've also noticed that I've accidentally bumped the buttons a few times and changed the settings. My old camera in this series didn't do that well in low light (like inside a cathedral) but I haven't had a chance to try out this one.

My first camera purchase in 15 years, so I did my research. I think the Canon - PowerShot SX740 HS is by far the best camera for the money. Great still photos, wonderful video, and transfer capability out the wazoo. Great compact size for travel and zoom is terrific for a small point and shoot camera. I would recommend purchasing a second battery for those sightseeing days when everything is to your liking. The "flip-up" view screen is very bright and clear, but I would like to see more agility from the view screen. It is a great vlogging camera, but for those of us who won't be using it as a video diary camera, a nice tilt/swivel screen (especially in bright light conditions) would be great. I really love this camera!

Excellent value. This camera has 40x optical zoom yet is compact enough to put in my jacket pocket. Great all around camera, I take it on road trips to capture scenery, family portraits, and close-ups of wildlife and birds.

Wrote this for my SX730, but the specs for the SX740 are similar for still photo. Love this thing! Most concerts don't allow cameras with removable lenses. This one is the best as it has a 40x OPTICAL zoom....(don't fall for cameras that boast digital....you will NEVER get a clear pict using digital zoom) You can be the envy of your concert going friends using their iPhones trying to capture an image like this....! Last pict at The Stones concert shows how far back I was and still got some incredible photos no phone camera would achieve. Stop relying on your phone for everything!!!!!

I have only used a few of the features available with this camera, but I have been impressed. I have used both the Bluetooth and WiFi connections to this camera with great success. I have used the app on my Samsung phone to control the camera for remotely taking pictures. The flip up display allows you view the picture from in front of the camera as you take family pictures, with you in them for a change. You can easily transfer the pictures to your phone via Bluetooth or WiFi. The pictures are high quality. The zoom is also excellent.

Compacted great price has a flash and easy to use.
