Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

I love the quality of the pictures. Has many camera settings you can play around with. Very beginner friendly!

Absolutely the best camera that provides high end picture and it’s easy to use.

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!

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.

Love it! Amazing photos!!!!! Everyone wants it! It’s amazing !

This beats taking pics with an Iphone by far, but sometimes the picture ends up blurry if not using flash or it is dark outside. Definitely worth it to get good photos, but don't expect crazy results if the shooting conditions aren't perfect.

Best cámara … amazing photo easy to use for videos is ok no the best cuality

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!

Camera was great my son uses this all the time. He’s very happy with the purchase.

Good camera for the price. My first unit failed on 2nd use. Found a Best Buy nearby on my trip and got a replacement without any hassles. Second camera works fine. Image quality is good. Buy an extra battery, camera case and memory. You're going to need it.

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.

Works good so far! They sold out everywhere so the price wasn’t great but can’t wait to use for my honeymoon

Excellent Camera, Worth every shot the pictures are like very crisp and clean

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 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 and quality. I actually wanted the G7 Mark II camera, but this honestly is just as good.

So before buying this I was debating between the SX740 HS and the Gx7 ii and I am very happy I went with the SX740 HS for my needs! A big price difference but the video quality is still superb and excellent, plus easy to use

I absolutely love this camera! I’m an ambassador for an online clothing store & its perfect content creation. It also takes great videos for my YouTube Channel. The flip screen is so convenient and my favorite feature. It’s definitely a great quality camera for the price you pay
