Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Great camera! Makes my clothing items look awesome! Easy to use! Captures the quality great! Check us out on instagram @StarBoyClothing

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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 cant say enough oodf about this camera. Out of the box its an excellent YouTube videos, with supplied lenses. Comes with a very nice telephoto len as well in this bundle. This camera is so versatile that with all of its abilities kinda seems like a new camera every time you get a new app! The camera apps work great! The apps alone are awesome! Things you just cant do with a regular camera. Because it’s mirror less it can shoot up to 11 FPS! The apps also help beginners get the exact settings correct for a certain type photo. Now the software. The PlayMemories app lets say, is terrible. I got a Nikon a month ago. This camera takes better pics and video. But the PlayMemories app is the worst. Thank goodness once you get to know the camera you can get around some of it. I have a Cadillac camera with Edsel software. It’s really bad. I wont say it doesn’t work, but what should be minutes turns into hours. It’s almost like after they got done designing the camera, the app was just slapped together. This software, (PlayMemeries) should be recalled. I sure hope Sony is working on the problems. Right after I got it there was an upgrade, made it a tad easier but way short of plug and play. More like plus and pray it works this time. With it Ipad, Android phone and PC, the software flaws are even more appearent. I cant say enough good about the camera. Weather your a pro or amature,m your will love this camera! You may cry however every time you have to use PlayMemories. You will have memories alright after using this garbage, truly sad garbage software. Really disappointed in it t say the least. It takes it from fun, to a nightmare of searching the internet for the same problems everyone else is having. I literaly found out to make it work from a photography studio. Sony has got to be aware of this! With the other manufacturers are catching up with mirrorless, Sony really needs to get on the ball with this mess or it will cause a huge Loss in sales from word getting out. Just read everything and expect some hiccups when trying to set up WiFi. Truly a nightmare. The camera is so good at its price though I would still recommend. You will know more about photography by the time your hooked up. I’m speaking of the Playmemories app that has all the problems. The camera apps are great however. Playmemories is the software that communicates with the cam and computer. Really bad!!!!
