    I use this camera daily and found it to be a great travel camera. However, lens seems to be not too fast so I will need a pro camera for serious shots and video.

    I got this camera because I love taking photos and creating videos! I recently started filming more & this is my first proper film camera. I love the view finder & the quality of the footage is amazing! It's super easy to use and it's a great starter cam.

    Was looking for something that I could use to take quick photos. This camera works well and is fast at focusing and taking the shot. The 40X zoom and 4K video record options are great as well

    Probably the best all round point and shoot camera. The zoom and wide angle features can't be found on any other camera in this price range. I wish they would make a weatherproof and rugged version.

    Powerful zoom lens makes it easy for taking pictures of wildlife. Picture quality is good. Downside is, camera has no view finder. Manual focus setting doesn't stay on infinity if switching in between other camera modes.

    I never had taken a moon picture with any other camera, until I got this Canon PowerShot SX740. The 40X zoom is incredible for a small camera like this. I'm very happy with cost-benefit.

    The set up was reasonably easy and getting going with actually taking photos was a pleasure. The photo quality is great and it is very easy to transfer the photos over to our MacBook Pro.

    This camera is ok for vlogs or long distance shots. Now I do unboxing videos and this camera is not good for that. The focus is too slow.

    High quality camera for the price. Not a camera person, as this was a gift, and would have appreciated to know exactly that the product does not come with an SD card, and even then, it requires a specific one.
