Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice small camera. Great for traveling or out walking, where you would rather not carry a bigger camera. Takes very clear photos, with great colour. Also can zoom in well and gets a good photo of subjects like birds and other waterfowl. Had to buy a film to put on the screen to cut down on reflection glare, as there is no view finder, just the screen. But that was not a problem.

Have been looking for a camera that fit my photography requirements of convenient in size that takes sharp photos and has a good zoom. I needed something small enough and light enough for travel but still took the quality photos I wanted without having to lug around larger cameras and extra lenses. This camera checked everything I was looking for. Thus far it has been what I had long been searching for but was unable to find.

I currently have one (which I’ve dropped one too many times) and bought a new one. It’s so easy to use & I get some pretty incredible pictures. What I love is that it’s so small & you can take it anywhere.

Very good camera for the price. The zoom is very impressive, and the picture quality is much better than expected. The only things that I noticed that could be improved some is the battery life is kind of short in my opinion and taking pictures in low light has been a bit tricky, other than that very good camera, would recommend

This is definitely a few steps up from the last compact digital camera I bought, years ago (also a Canon). The previous one was good based on technology that existed at the time. This is more advanced. I am still figuring out how to use the many features and options. I like the easy-to-handle size and the photo quality.

This nice little Canon PowerShot is great for travel. It doesn't take up much room, it's easy to carry, and provides some good pictures.

I love this camera. Great quality and portable. Very light weight.

This camera is very easy to use. Just point and shoot. Zooming in is not that easy though. But, I'll get used to it. The wow part is that I don't have to chase the birds anymore. I can get decent photos of them even though they are far away.

Borrowed a 730 and fell in love with it so I bought the 740. There is a little of reading that needs to be done but it is easy to use. I took some great close up pictures of my daughter in the band from across the field. Very sharp pictures. I mostly use the camera in the "P" and "SCN" with great results. Highly recommend it. Make sure to use a fast SD card (170 MB/s) for better results.

Point and shoots are not big sellers these days. But i like canon’s for their hybrid auto mode (auto create a short movie of the day with short video + pictures taken). I have a older canon point and shoot i use to shoot photos. After a vacation using a small gimbal video recorder that didn’t work well, i thought to pick up a powershot to shoot only video (small size at 1080p) was a plus. Canon has discontinued most of its powershot but l cameras but luckily best biy had this model. Model is in the middle toer of old powershots but worls great for me.

I use the camera daily for my work as a Fine Art Appraiser. This is the 4th time I've purchased this camera, because it's easy to use, perfect for my needs, and I love the latest version, even more convenient and easier to take great pictures, close up or at a distance.

After having and using this camera for about a month now. I can honestly say this camera is perfect for those who want to vlog and not break the bank. It is perfect for beginners. Although it does not have the same features as bigger DSLR cameras, it gets the job done! 10/10 I recommend!

Very good camera i love the quality it came in quick the seller was super responsive 100% recommend

This is my 3rd Canon point & shoot camera over the past 12 years. I have always been pleased with the products, and have found that each succeeding model is improved from the previous model. I bought the PowerShot SX740 HS from Best Buy in early September. I was going on a trip to Morocco and wanted a newer model. I am very pleased with the results of this camera. The photos are generally crisp with vivid colors and I took over 1500 pictures. I really like the 40X zoom, especially when I want people in the distance in the photo. However, when moving in a bus, you have to be careful, because you can have blurred photos with the zoom at times. Also, low-lighted areas do not produce the best photos. Since I am not a camera buff, I generally use the automatic setting. For me, this has worked out fairly well. My videos recorded well and I was pleased with the results. For real camera enthusiasts, I'm guessing that there is a great deal you can do manually to make significant changes. While the SX740 is slightly heavier than previous models, it worked fine in my hands. The flash worked fine, but I initially did not realize that I needed to manually pop it open for proper activation. Overall for my needs, this is a great camera for those wanting great photos in a small package. Thank you, Canon!

This camera is user friendly and an excellent quality picture! It’s zoom is easy to use to quickly get that bird shot and auto focus does the rest. The cropping and other special effects are easy to use and the pixels are high enough to give a clear crisp shot. For a point and shot camera it performs wonderfully!

The 40x optical zoom and 4K video capabilities are awesome to have in such a small package! I love the fact that I can easily transfer the pictures to my phone or computer with the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi capabilities. The Camera is solid and the controls are sturdy and easy to use. The pictures that I have taken during daylight hours are very crisp. I have not taken any pictures in low light yet. Thus far I am very happy with this camera, and it is worth every penny.

Compact and lightweight. Carry while biking. Zoom is very good for camera this size. Lacks viewfinder and fully-articulating screen which makes picture taking difficult in certain positions and lighting. Screen resolution is not indicator of printed or viewable photo. Camera dial and controls are small and difficult to read in low light.

The best ca Meta I ever had. Picture are so real!!

I love this camera! It is incredible, great features and quality! I use it to vlog and to record videos for my Youtube channel. It is light and not bulky at all, easy to fit in my purse and has great resolution! I just LOOOOVE IT!!!

Great camera. We bought this 5 years ago for a trip where we did not want to take a big camera. It took such great pictures, it was easy to pick it again when we needed another camera for a family member.
