Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it. I use it all the time and take mini photo shoots with my friends all the time that one even ended up buying it as well!!

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.

Great for beginners. Camera battery last a long time picture quality great . I love it

I love this camera. Great quality and portable. Very light weight.

Love the quality! It blurs your skin and make the colors vibrant.

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.

I love this camera so much I was between this and the g7x but I’m so glad I saved the money and got this one! The quality is so amazing and it’s very simple to use!

Fantastic point and shoot. It's quick, takes great pics and I love the battery life. I will say, it feels a little "fragile" when the lens is open but other than that it's great.

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!

Absolutely love this camera! This was the first digital camera I’ve owned and it was super easy to use and the photos come out great.

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.

Love this camera. Thought I wanted a g7x but this camera is almost identical! The zoom power is great. Lots of setting. A very nice compact point and shoot.

This is my 3rd Canon point & shoot camera over the past 12 years. I have always been pleased with the products, and have found that each succeeding model is improved from the previous model. I bought the PowerShot SX740 HS from Best Buy in early September. I was going on a trip to Morocco and wanted a newer model. I am very pleased with the results of this camera. The photos are generally crisp with vivid colors and I took over 1500 pictures. I really like the 40X zoom, especially when I want people in the distance in the photo. However, when moving in a bus, you have to be careful, because you can have blurred photos with the zoom at times. Also, low-lighted areas do not produce the best photos. Since I am not a camera buff, I generally use the automatic setting. For me, this has worked out fairly well. My videos recorded well and I was pleased with the results. For real camera enthusiasts, I'm guessing that there is a great deal you can do manually to make significant changes. While the SX740 is slightly heavier than previous models, it worked fine in my hands. The flash worked fine, but I initially did not realize that I needed to manually pop it open for proper activation. Overall for my needs, this is a great camera for those wanting great photos in a small package. Thank you, Canon!

Highly recommend for someone just trying to get their foot in the door for picture taking

I use the camera daily for my work as a Fine Art Appraiser. This is the 4th time I've purchased this camera, because it's easy to use, perfect for my needs, and I love the latest version, even more convenient and easier to take great pictures, close up or at a distance.

The 40x optical zoom and 4K video capabilities are awesome to have in such a small package! I love the fact that I can easily transfer the pictures to my phone or computer with the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi capabilities. The Camera is solid and the controls are sturdy and easy to use. The pictures that I have taken during daylight hours are very crisp. I have not taken any pictures in low light yet. Thus far I am very happy with this camera, and it is worth every penny.

I’ve used this camera for a couple years now and I love it. It’s great for daily use. Very user friendly. With low light and lots of motion it can be difficult to get quick high quality photos but I think that might be user error - still learning how to adjust the settings :)

Great camera for traveling. Compact enough to fit in a backpack or purse. Higher quality pictures than an iPhone camera. Love the WiFi feature which allows you to transfer pics easily to an iPhone. Also love the flip up screen that can be used for selfies. The only negative is zoom is limited compared to more professional cameras but it is adequate for my needs.

This camera is user friendly and an excellent quality picture! It’s zoom is easy to use to quickly get that bird shot and auto focus does the rest. The cropping and other special effects are easy to use and the pixels are high enough to give a clear crisp shot. For a point and shot camera it performs wonderfully!

I love this camera! It is incredible, great features and quality! I use it to vlog and to record videos for my Youtube channel. It is light and not bulky at all, easy to fit in my purse and has great resolution! I just LOOOOVE IT!!!
