Customer Ratings & Reviews

I currently have one (which I’ve dropped one too many times) and bought a new one. It’s so easy to use & I get some pretty incredible pictures. What I love is that it’s so small & you can take it anywhere.

I bought the Canon SX740 because I needed a camera with a decent zoom since my go pro and phone have digital zoom that are not good. I never expected the video to be so much better than the Go Pro or phone. I can't comment on pictures because I only shoot 1080P videos . It will shoot 4k but 1080P is easier for me to convert to DVD and the picture quality is still excellent!

It is a very good choice for casual video filming. It is compact and light weight to carry around. The battery lasts about three hours, it is good to purchase a second one to back up. The qualities of pictures and video are great. However, there is no case with the camera when purchasing. It is better to buy a case to house and protect the camera. A case does not cost much. Overall, it is a good camera with fair price. If the camera lasts for a decade or thereabouts, we will give it five stars.

Takes excellent pictures. Best point and shoot camera I have found. Small and easy to carry. Many setting and features

This is a good camera, if you know how to use it. Don’t expect to purchase this camera and whip it out of the box to take an amazing photo, you will need to adjust the settings depending on the type of photo. For example, higher shutter speed (ISO) to take a photo of a moving object such as a waterfall. I researched this camera hard before purchasing and learned quickly that all the negative reviews were from people who did not know how to work a cameras settings, or had dropped it hard enough it stopped functioning. I give this camera four stars because I’m still learning to use it myself but am very pleased with it. Also, TAKE A PHOTO OF THE MOON FULLY ZOOMED IN!!!

Purchased for our outdoor maternity photos. The pictures look great when taken indoors, we just need to get the hang of using it outside. Love the picture quality and ease of use.

We purchased this camera to take on a trip. It worked great - we thought- until we went to use zoom. The screen was shaking and bouncing up and down side to side. Made us nauseous just looking at it to take a pic, well trying to snap a pic. We returned it as defective and got a replacement. Went outside and tried the zoom before we left the parking lot----No Bouncing, No Shaking, just pure sweet zoom! Thank you Best Buy <--- Amazing customer service. And thank you Cannon for manufacturing it.

Exactly what my wife wanted. She has the larger one with all the lenses, but wanted one that would be easier and lighter to carry. This fits the bill!

Such a great far zooming camera that is point and shoot. It gives us exactly what we want. Thanks!

will be using more when traveling in a few weeks. New purchase for trip. Chose for size and apparent ease of use.

I love my camera it’s easy to use and very sturdy the photo quality is amazing

I bought this camera to take to our trip to New York! It was small and easy to carry. It took great pictures. I’m so glad I bought it!

Great camera. I use this for my property inspection business. I take hundreds of pictures every day. I had the old 730 for about 5 years. So I was confident to upgrade to this one Even though it's older technology. I wish they would come out with new ones. People in my line of work love these cameras. The optical zoom is amazing.

Good camera a little bit overpriced pictures come out good but not great.

Great pics. Easy to use. not complicated to use on auto setting. Excellent zoom, Would recommend a monopod for full zoom shots

Must get this camera. It’s so small and convenient! May be a little pricey but it’s all worth it. I love my camera. Great for vlogging

Great camera pocket, very sharp pictures. For me, it is an upgrade of an old model of the same make.

Needed a small camera to travel with on an international trip. Small enough to take great pics and still fit in my small crossbody purse

Bought it for my daughter. She likes the camera, it is easy to make adjustments and also take quick pics with 'auto' . A little on the pricey side but a decent camera.

Using this camera in South Africa right now Picture quality is fantastic Zoom lense is excellent easy to use
