Customer Ratings & Reviews

The SX740HS is a big step up over the older SX620, though it's twice as much. There are some manual settings if you want to get creative, but most users will rely on the presets to get decent pictures. The wider lens, the 40x zoom and the 20.3 MP sensor will be far superior to cell phone pictures.

I Wanted a Pocket Camera with Good Zoom Distance and this is It! Easy to Set Up and Get Started on Capturing what You Love. As You Get to Know this Camera Better it has Options for Manual Use that will Surprise and intrigue. If Manual is not Your Thing, All Automatic will do You just Fine. I Really like that I can Transfer Pictures Wirelessly to my Cell Phone, Tablet or Computer with the Canon Camera Connect App.

Read the online manual to use some of the special features...not that intuitive. Did I mention that the zoom (starts at 40x, then doubles to 80x, then digital zoom adds another 20x...so 100x zoom. What the...wow?

I’ve had this camera before it was stolen... I love it ! Hence why I bought it a second time and with COVID leaving few options!

Excellent camera with great out-of-the-box settings. Easy to use and great pictures my first outing in Alaska.

My son is just getting into photography. This has been a great first camera to explore different subjects from baseball to pictures of our dogs to beautiful vacation photos

I went on a Safari with my new Camera, the pixel quality, the Zoom, the easy setting are above my expections

Love love love this camera! Good quality and for a good price too! it’s literally the same thing as the other cameras!

I am enjoying the zoom on this camera. The camera is well made.

Extremely happy with purchase . . . Great Camera . . . Easy to use

Love it. Good picture quality. Let this picture show proof.

I am pleased with this camera, it takes good pictures with the Auto settings so far. I am still learning and familiarizing with the other features and settings of the camera. The 40x zoom is a great feature on this camera. No need to change lens to get such a powerful zoom. I had a coupon which made it very worth the price. After the pandemic situation improves, this is the camera I will bring along for traveling. Because the camera is a bit heavy, I bought a heavier-duty strap to replace the one that came with the camera. Other than that, I am happy with this camera.

Great pictures day and night. Video is crystal clear.

Good purchase best bargain on a blog camera and the best option is it records in 4k

I was nervous when I first made my purchase, but it was worth the investment.

This camera had completely exceeded my expectations. So easy to use and the quality is amazing. I'm in love. Excited to have a quicker option then my dslr.

For being a point n shoot camera, it packs a bunch!! We have used this camera for travel and it takes clear, crisp photos that are definitely comparable to more expensive, professional cameras!! I love that it has the Bluetooth and WiFi option so that you can get the canon app and use your phone to remotely take pictures!!! I also LOVE that it has the screen that flips so if you take a selfie you can see what you look like!! Would recommend this camera over and over again!!! Also love the zoom capability! We went to aftershock in California and we were atleast a football field and more away from the stage and took a zoomed picture of the drummer and you would have thought we were right next to the stage!!! The photos I attached were photos we took with this camera on a tripod!!! Love it! Who needs a photographer now :))

I was looking for a small handheld camera to take on adventures, with out having to lug around my canon 5D mark iii, as it’s way to heavy. This camera reminded me of a mini 5D with WiFi, the quality is by far better than I imagined. See my test shot of the moon standing in my living room last night, taken on auto mod. then I zoomed in & wow the photo speaks for itself. The WiFi set up with my iPhone 11 pro was very easy to set up & I love the easy access to transfer photos from the camera to the phone. I highly recommend regardless if you have any experience or not this camera will have you shooting photos like a pro.

This is my second camera in the Canon SX series and I used my last one for about 5.5 years before it was starting to not work as well and I needed an upgrade. I mostly use it for outdoor shots while hiking and traveling. The photo quality is about the same as what you would get with a cell phone camera; however, the real benefit to this camera is the amazing zoom. Being an outdoor enthusiast, this camera takes great shots of wildlife from a distance or even a wildflower you want a picture of but don't want to trample the tundra getting close to it. I really debated upgrading to a mirrorless camera instead of sticking with a point and shoot but in the end, the small size and ease of use of this camera won out. I love that it fits easily in a jacket pocket. I do have one major issue with it. When wearing polarized sunglasses, I can't see the screen at all! Since it has no viewfinder, not being able to see the screen is a major issue. You might say that is the fault of the sunglasses and not the camera but I don't have as much of an issue with seeing the screens on my phone or my old camera in the same glasses. I've also noticed that I've accidentally bumped the buttons a few times and changed the settings. My old camera in this series didn't do that well in low light (like inside a cathedral) but I haven't had a chance to try out this one.

Camera is great, very useful, compact, and decent for the price now days. The only issue I don't like... The night photos are not too clear, they camera is hard to focus, and pictures come out very blurry and need to take a few pictures and hold the camera very very steady to take good night pictures. Day pictures a great, and I use the camera mostly during the day, so it does the jobs. I give it 4.9/5, overall it is easy to use, practical, SD card, and battery lasts a while.
