    I've brought this after owning a more expensive dslr camera. And, this one took it's place. The image quality is unbelievable. I recommend this camera to any one looking to get into photography. It's easy to use and learn all the features. You're not just thrown at a complicated piece of machinery. It's amazing performance for the price tag.

    Love canon and the zoom quality in this small portable camera is excellent. I don't have to carry my big professional camera around especially traveling to places in weird locations so I don't attract attention but this one does the work and easily put in my pocket. Comes on fast and takes awesome pictures. I love the big LCD screen in the back.

    Have been looking for a camera that fit my photography requirements of convenient in size that takes sharp photos and has a good zoom. I needed something small enough and light enough for travel but still took the quality photos I wanted without having to lug around larger cameras and extra lenses. This camera checked everything I was looking for. Thus far it has been what I had long been searching for but was unable to find.

    Nice small camera. Great for traveling or out walking, where you would rather not carry a bigger camera. Takes very clear photos, with great colour. Also can zoom in well and gets a good photo of subjects like birds and other waterfowl. Had to buy a film to put on the screen to cut down on reflection glare, as there is no view finder, just the screen. But that was not a problem.

    Very good camera for the price. The zoom is very impressive, and the picture quality is much better than expected. The only things that I noticed that could be improved some is the battery life is kind of short in my opinion and taking pictures in low light has been a bit tricky, other than that very good camera, would recommend

    This is definitely a few steps up from the last compact digital camera I bought, years ago (also a Canon). The previous one was good based on technology that existed at the time. This is more advanced. I am still figuring out how to use the many features and options. I like the easy-to-handle size and the photo quality.

    Borrowed a 730 and fell in love with it so I bought the 740. There is a little of reading that needs to be done but it is easy to use. I took some great close up pictures of my daughter in the band from across the field. Very sharp pictures. I mostly use the camera in the "P" and "SCN" with great results. Highly recommend it. Make sure to use a fast SD card (170 MB/s) for better results.

    Better than an Iphone

    This beats taking pics with an Iphone by far, but sometimes the picture ends up blurry if not using flash or it is dark outside. Definitely worth it to get good photos, but don't expect crazy results if the shooting conditions aren't perfect.

    This camera is very easy to use. Just point and shoot. Zooming in is not that easy though. But, I'll get used to it. The wow part is that I don't have to chase the birds anymore. I can get decent photos of them even though they are far away.

    After having and using this camera for about a month now. I can honestly say this camera is perfect for those who want to vlog and not break the bank. It is perfect for beginners. Although it does not have the same features as bigger DSLR cameras, it gets the job done! 10/10 I recommend!
