Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great camera, easy to use and download photos right to your phone using the app. I like the flash and zoom capabilities.

The zoom on this camera is amazing!! It handles high exposure pretty well. Great for a beginner at a good price. Great for selfies as well.

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.

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

Read the online manual to use some of the special features...not that intuitive. Did I mention that the zoom (starts at 40x, then doubles to 80x, then digital zoom adds another 20x...so 100x zoom. What the...wow?

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!

Excellent camera with great out-of-the-box settings. Easy to use and great pictures my first outing in Alaska.

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

I went on a Safari with my new Camera, the pixel quality, the Zoom, the easy setting are above my expections

Love love love this camera! Good quality and for a good price too! it’s literally the same thing as the other cameras!

I am enjoying the zoom on this camera. The camera is well made.

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.

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

I was nervous when I first made my purchase, but it was worth the investment.

For being a point n shoot camera, it packs a bunch!! We have used this camera for travel and it takes clear, crisp photos that are definitely comparable to more expensive, professional cameras!! I love that it has the Bluetooth and WiFi option so that you can get the canon app and use your phone to remotely take pictures!!! I also LOVE that it has the screen that flips so if you take a selfie you can see what you look like!! Would recommend this camera over and over again!!! Also love the zoom capability! We went to aftershock in California and we were atleast a football field and more away from the stage and took a zoomed picture of the drummer and you would have thought we were right next to the stage!!! The photos I attached were photos we took with this camera on a tripod!!! Love it! Who needs a photographer now :))

I was looking for a small handheld camera to take on adventures, with out having to lug around my canon 5D mark iii, as it’s way to heavy. This camera reminded me of a mini 5D with WiFi, the quality is by far better than I imagined. See my test shot of the moon standing in my living room last night, taken on auto mod. then I zoomed in & wow the photo speaks for itself. The WiFi set up with my iPhone 11 pro was very easy to set up & I love the easy access to transfer photos from the camera to the phone. I highly recommend regardless if you have any experience or not this camera will have you shooting photos like a pro.

I absolutely ADORE this camera and it's family of cameras. I have previously owned the SX700HS powershot and ran that into the ground. 40x Optical zoom in a tiny point-and-shoot is a big deal. A compact camera that packs a punch. The moveable Screen is great for firing from the hip, discreet shooting to capture candids, ease of shooting when you don't want to crane your neck, and even selfies if you're into that. I hope that Canon produces more cameras of this caliber.

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.
