    Was looking for something different for a birthday gift. I settled on the Canon-PowerShot SX740. Camera phones are ok but this camera has a much better zoom and the pictures are excellent.

    Bought this Canon to replace an older model. Very pleased with picture quality and zoom capability. Even without a tripod I can get decent pictures with the zoom all the way out. Still getting familiar with all the features, but it’s a keeper.

    It’s okay, but seemed slow

    Great zoom capability but incredibly slow. Bought this to take pictures of a graduation and the lag time caused me to miss important shots. If you’re looking for a landscape camera for travel where things don’t change and you can wait for the camera to catch up to itself it’s a great buy, but for real life moving objects/people, I found it to be too slow to be effective and was disappointed. I returned it and bought the Sony rx100 vii and sacrificed the long telephoto lens but got the quick fps high quality pics I was looking for.

    If you understand the limits of this camera, then you can really begin to appreciate its greatness. If you know how to shoot in manual mode, you can do a lot. Only drawback is it lacks RAW and a viewfinder.

    Great camera to pick up and shoot. Very compact and quality is good for it's size and casual shooting. You lose quality when Bluetooth transfer but that's to be expected.

    It exceeded all my expectations and has replaced my big camera. I take it everywhere. The zoom is incredible says 40x but zooms up to 160x. I can see the craters on the moon from my full moon picture.

    It’s a nice working camera. I’m not too happy with it since the flash is manual. I’m an appraiser and having an auto flash is much better, but camera makers have gone away from auto flash for cameras that are not expensive.
