    Takes good pictures BUT windows 11 doesn’t seem to like the software. Salesperson assured me it was compatible with all of Windows, but that has not been my experience. Also, this expensive camera doesn’t come with either a memory card or a cord, just a battery. And again, the salesperson told me it came with everything. I And the desirable feature of being able to download pictures wirelessly to a computer only works intermittently and is very slow and wears the battery down quickly. I have been able to use a workaround by removing the memory chip and inserting it into a plug in directly into the computer. All in all not very happy with the usability of the camera.

    I bought this camera for my husband's birthday in September. He loves it. I bought this same camera in June 2019 and have really liked it. The easy point-and shoot provides nice photos. It's great to have a zoom and get good up close photos of wildlife from a long distance. People have been amazed at the photos. I would buy again.

    This is a very basic, though powerful, camera! We had a previous version about 10 years ago that accumulated sand in it outside the US. This was a gift for my husband, and he is quite happy with it. We didn't want a big, professional type camera, and the cameras on our smart phones aren't good enough quality.

    I bought this tiny camera as a backup. I use it wherever I can't bring my Canon DSLR. Initial setup is simple and the setup menu easy to navigate. It has a fantastic zoom and the pictures and video are awesome. It has Wifi and can be connected to my iPhone instantly. Overall great camera.

    Firstly...yes if you zoom in low light.. its grainy. But in a well lit room and outdoors the picture quality are amazing and crisp. In low light it takes good pics up close with the flash. 40 zoom exceeded my expectations. Finally a pocket zoom camera that takes great pics. The colors in the picture are amazing.

    Purchased this Canon to take pictures at my niece's weding. The pictures are beautiful. My concern is the battery does not last as long as I had expected it too or the instruction booklet said. Not sure if my fault or the battery or the camera.

    I needed a small camera to take on vacation. My Cannon 7D was too large to travel with on planes and busses. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the SX 740 HS had many of the same settings I was used to. It takes very good close up and telephoto pictures. If you are looking for a small easy to use camera, I would recommend looking at this one.
