Rated 5 out of 5 byMollieJoy from Exactly what I wantedI bought the Canon PowerShox SX740 a few weeks ago mainly for Vlog-related uses. The quality of picture and audio is amazing. The flip-up screen is very helpful. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 byJimP from 4k video & 40x optical zoomTakes great pics & vids, Bluetooth & Wifi setup a little involved, no internal gps for location metadata unless you use a nearby cellphone bluetooth connection to provide the gps location to the camera. Canon Android app to transfer pics & vids to phone works smoothly over Wifi (not BT.

Rated 5 out of 5 byNiemi from Great ZOOM!I have used my Powershot S100 for many years. I hoped technology had improved for the SX740 and it has! The autofocus and zoom lens is excellent!

Rated 5 out of 5 bygkinghorn from Great zoom and image stabilizationI received the first batch of the new SX740 this week and am amazed so far. The 40x zoom and image stabilization make for incredible hand held photos. The hi-speed multi-shot mode at 10 frames per second at full resolution means you always get the best high-speed action photos.

Rated 5 out of 5 byStereoview from The good and the other.I was unhappy with some aspects of my recently purchased G7x Mark II and decided to buy this camera. I have taken several hundred images with it so far. There are some good things about it operationally that make it easier to use than the quirky, sometimes uncooperative G7x. Calling this lens "superb" is a stretch. I realize that big zooms involve trade offs so my findings are not that surprising I guess but I was hoping for better. Image quality shows less sharpness and lower contrast than the G7x by far. For internet images it's OK but for big prints it can't be that good. G7x Mark II when you can get it to behave makes super sharp images. You just can't win.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJean44 from Not recommendedBought in Dec. Wanted something light to carry, it is lightweight. That is the only good thing about it. I have had and still have a lot of canon cameras that are great, but this one is aweful, pics are noisy, muddy, fuzzy. If I were canon I would be ashamed to put this camera on market, it is worthless.

Rated 5 out of 5 byphotofiend from Heavy, tilt LCD unnecessaryThis camera seems to work well, so my complaints are minor. It's heavy, I would have liked more interesting colors, and the tilt LCD is a total waste (and adds weight.

Rated 5 out of 5 byjack72 from Guess I'm a slow learnerMy wife and I each got an SX740 before a trip to VietNam last November. After about 2,000 pictures I dropped mine causing little damage and it continued to work another 4,000 pictures. Then early this year in Costa Rica (and another 1,000 + pictures my 740 suddenly developed a problem: the view screen was only on the top half of the screen with white on the bottom half, the camera wouldn’t take a picture, and when turned off the lens would only retract half way (and had to be pushed in with a snap). I figured it was finally resulting from the drop in VietNam. Between that trip and the next to South America I purchased another SX740 because I liked the small size and image quality with 40x optical zoom. My new 740 lasted about 2,000 pictures in Brazil when it developed the exact same symptoms. A few days later my wife’s (after about 3,000 pictures overall – she doesn’t take as many as I do) developed the EXACT SAME problem. After we got over the THREE FOR THREE anger she discovered while playing with hers that the problem only happened in ‘Auto’ mode. When in ‘Food’ or ‘Sport’ modes the cameras worked normally. We finished the trip using only those modes. Now, I’m looking for some answers so I don’t have to buy yet another two cameras (they won’t be Canon SX740’s next time) for our upcoming trip to Italy. ANY THOUGHTS???

Rated 5 out of 5 byJay67 from Quality photos, zoom capability, video and more!!I bought this a few weeks ago as a Christmas gift for my wife. She absolutely loves it. She hasn’t put it down long since she got it. I would be happy to add photos if I could get my hands on it. Lol

Rated 5 out of 5 byDisappointment from Features not as advertised on this webpageI was very disappointed when my new Canon xs740 HS arrived to find that it in fact does not have the feature Sepia. The specifications on the website state that it does.
