    This camera is awesome. I like how easily you can send pictures to your computer, printer or mobile device and how compact it is compared to other point and shoot cameras.

    Excellent camera at a very reasonable price. Camera has a nice feel to it. Has a nice aluminum finish and its made in Japan. Takes beautiful photos and videos. The 40X zoom is great and image stabilization works just fine. My only minor complaint is the WI-FI camera connect app is difficult to use.

    Compact and very high quality images. Less convenient than a smartphone camera, but much better results if you take your time. The only nit is the lag between shots. Have not figured a way o do a continuous burst which would be nice on occasion. Of course my DLSR offers more control and better prints, but I can't fit that in my jacket pocket.

    Very nice camera and easy to use. Liked the flip screen, would have been nicer to be able to flip it around instead of only up and down, but its more convenient than a static screen. It's not a touch screen, but the button commands are pretty straight forward. The zoom is great .

    I received my Canon SX740 as a gift. I absolutely love how easy it is to start taking photos right out the box. The zoom feature is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

    Overall, the camera is great at taking pictures. My Fiance uses this camera all the time and loves using it! We have had no issues so far. The flip feature for the camera screen is also great for doing videos for Youtube.

    This is a replacement for the SX700 that I dropped and broke. It has the tilting screen and a little more zoom range. Otherwise it is more or less the same to use. The zoom is good up to a certain point but then the images are not clear and it needs good stability such as a tripod or a very steady hand. The low light is the same as the SX700, not the best. I use the zoom and macro a lot so they were the features I was looking for in a replacement camera without having to pay big money. I do wish it were better it low light situations. It does not take the same battery as the other camera so I bought some extras. I have never used the video/movie much so that was not a concern. It has a picture of a fork and knife on the control dial I assume for food pictures. I find that hilarious and why is that needed? The camera is heavy duty and the tilt screen makes it a little wider.

    Alot better than my older camera which I bought because it had a view finder but kept losing pictures to invalid formats ecause buttonsssending camerea to 4d modeetc was where had to hod caamera. The new canon camerea taakes alot better pictures eve in low twilight. I tested it on trip to swizeland and in CO mountains. A large majority of my pictures are on snow utdoors panorma pictures. They all came out great but with no view finder on the black screen in bright light often cannot see what you are filming have to quess what iss in view. A view finder would correct this bright light problem. BUTatleast I did not los pictures on my trip to switzerland ike I probably with my old camera.

    The camera was perfect for our trip to Alaska. It was very easy to use and took great pictures. The size made it very portable so I didn’t miss shots. The directions were user friendly.
