    I'm still learning all of the features but so far, it's one of the easiest and most powerful point and shoots I've used. The auto focus using zoom is glitchy, the camera decides what to focus on

    The camera takes very good pictures for the price but to use all of its features you almost need to take a class. The manual does not explain all of the ins and outs and it's frustrating to not be able to take advantage of what it could offer.

    For the few days I've had this device, I am very happy with what this camera is capable of, my use case is well lit daylight /bright indoor scenes. For a 'first' camera, I highly recommend

    Wildly disappointed

    It’s tough to review something that is so deeply broken but I’ll go through my experience. From the start, I loved the packaging, really set the tone and separated itself from the rest of the pack by setting the tone that this would be something vibrant and fun. Instructions, while comically large, were very simple. Charge the camera with the included cord and power cube, download the app (sigh), power this on, connect, and shoot. Nothing too complicated. Off the start, I’ve already gotta remove 1 star since this is YET ANOTHER device that requires its own app. I mention this is tons of my reviews but when I have over the half the apps on my phone for niche products like this, it rubs me the wrong way, but I digress. After charging, I got the app, logged in, and started setting up the device. Immediately I noticed connectivity issues where it would connect, then disconnect every couple minutes, rendering it useless. Upon setting up I’d been connected to Bluetooth listening to music and figured that could be an issue so I restarted, removed the Bluetooth connection from Spotify and tried to reconnect. Again, this lasted a few minutes and stopped working. Throughout this process, I was able to get the device to track a little bit, snap 3 photos while it was inches from my face, and record 1 video as guests were walking in at the time. I tried to watch the video but nothing worked without being connected, but I can’t stay connected. I was able to view the pictures and thought the quality was good but a little worse than expected. It’s far from 4k and seems to really thrive off a bright room. Eventually I figured this may need a software update, so I downloaded that and continued on but had the same problems with connectivity. I went back to the App Store to see if there’s a different app to download or if I’d messed up somehow, the answer is no, it’s not me, it’s at minimum an iOS issue as every review on the iOS store is 1 star. Other reviewers on Best Buy’s site have got it to work, so I presume those are android users but can’t be positive. Either way, after hours and hours of headaches and hassles, this camera is seemingly paralyzed by their mandatory app. Even now, I can go onto the app and see that there is media stored but without the camera on, it won’t let me view my photos. Overall, horrible app integration that renders this a paperweight and giant disappointment. Even the rare times it can work, the photos are subpar. Definitely pass on this until a fix can be found

    This is the first camera I’ve ever bought. It is great for taking photos and videos and is great for the price. I wish it zoomed in and out easier but it works well and is worth the price Tag. I enjoy using it and will continue to use it.

    We needed to replace our old Canon aim and shoot camera. LOVE our new Canon. Purchased it just prior to our trip to Prague followed by a river cruise of the Danube. Photos were terrific...great speed and resolution. Highly recommend it.

    I got thos as a gift. Works good. I still have a lot to learn aboutt this product. I am no pro but the pictures are good in the light but in the darkness or low light it is not that good. Great for blogging as the picture stabilization works well.

    Canon SX740 was an easy choice... Have previously owned other models ~ A720 IS and SX730. No need to shop around for any other brand. Easy to use, great functions with top notch clarity and vivid color.

    I really love my Canon power shot SX740 HS 20.3 Megapixel Camera. I am starting to get the hang of shooting great shots with camera, and I’m loving the results from it. I’d recommend this camera to anyone.

    I did a lot of research on cameras before buying this one. I'd consider it a step down from a professional but the quality pictures it takes you would think it was a professional camera. Great camera & would highly recommend.
