I was excited to try the Canon PowerShot Pick camera with active tracking. I sometimes forget to take pictures and I thought this would be a great camera to help me capture some great candid moments. After trying this camera out a few different times, I feel that it still needs some improvements to the technology to actually be used for it's purpose. My main concern is that is doesn't work well in situations with lower lighting. Most of the events I want to use this type of camera for are indoors in the evening and are not a bright background. I found that the dim lighting does not produce the results I want.
This camera was easy to set-up through wi-fi and connect to it's own app. The main feature of this camera is that you should just be able to set it and foget it for your events. It will automatically search for faces and smiles and use it's Pan, Tilt, and Zoom mechanism to capture candid moments. I tried to use this at two evening events - once at Bunco with 12 people and another with family dinner with 6 people. Both times I only got a few photos and videos in over 2+ hours. I think it is attributed to the lighting because when I took it outdoors - I got many more pictures and videos.
One of the neat things that you can do with the camera is use a voice command to have it capture photos or videos. It is a great idea, but I'm not sure if the technology is there yet.

Wonderful camera! This is my first digital camera ever and I wanted something good to take on a trip I will be going on over the summer, and this is definitely the one. While it isn't the cheapest, the investment is absolutely worth it if you casually enjoy taking pictures or want to learn and get better at photography. Could not recommend this camera enough!

This is one of those things that you do not know you need until you have one. If you have a family, you need this camera. Just think about all of the family events where you can just set this in the corner and let it record the memories for you. Taking this out of the box, I found it to be diminuative and cute. Setup is pretty easy. The unit is self contained and has it's own battery. Downloading the app and connecting took a couple times, but once it connected, there were no issues.
I have used this camera both indoors at a birthday party and outdoors at a cookout. I also have it set up in my living room full time. The pan, tilt, and zoom works perfectly, and the pictures are exactly what you would expect out of an 11 MP camera. It has voice activated features and will take photos on command. It links to your phone or computer via wi-fi. The only complaint I can make about this little gem; it needs a higher resolution camera. It works perfectly in all respects, as one would expect a Canon product to perform.

Love this camera! Takes amazing pictures both up close and far away. Battery last a long time. Very tight fit into the recommended case.

I love the zoom on this camera, but the video mode is horrible.
The video slips out of focus all the time...so disappointing and I have missed more good footage than I have actually captured. The camera before this was great with video, so they clearly tried unsuccessfully to upgrade it and it failed spectacularly.
I very hesitantly would recommend this camera to someone who uses all features, but it is great for stills.

I purchased the Canon Powershot SX740 HS because I wanted a small camera with an optical zoom. The optical zoom is good but the images from my iPhone Mini 13 are much more vibrant. I think the iPhone Mini 13 has superior image processing.
