Got unbelievable seats for Melissa ethridge concert usually $750 and up for free! So close you could almost reach out to her. Took this camera as it did so well for YouTube videos and regular photo and the zoom was amazing! But it was horrible ruined all my footage! Couldn't believe it for a canon.

I like this camera but I don't love it yet. I used it on holiday recently and whilst the photos were good, they were about the same as the ones I took on my phone. I had a Canon about 10 years ago, which had lots of great settings and features that this one doesn't so I was a bit disappointed.

In recent years, many CPC units have come in for some stick when compared to the capabilities of DSL cameras, as well as the closing gap between smartphone cameras. That said, it isn't as if compact cameras haven't also made some gains as well, and the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is one of those units.

Very compact; Great features; Easy pick-up-and-click; Great zoom detail

Smaller sensor (not ideal for low light; No Raw image format; No touchscreen

The compact mega-zoom Canon SX740 HS (24-960mm) offers a good balance of simplicity and ease of use, along with multiple exposure controls and an extremely versatile zoom lens that will help expand your picture-taking capabilities.

Image-stabilized 40x zoom; Pocket size; Auto and Manual exposure controls; 180-degree tilting LCD; 4K video

No viewfinder; No touch screen; Limited ISO/low-light performance; No Raw

I get a lot of use out of these little Canon Powershots because they do everything I need a camera for and didn't need to pay a fortune for a bunch of camera equipment that does the same thing.

I have been using Canon since the early 80's, so I am biased towards them. This camera has improved on earlier P&S models with a dedicated network button. It is so much easier now to transfers photo's to your computer or whatever. The 40x zoom really needs a mono-pod at the least to keep it steady.

The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is an update to the SX730 HS from 2017. As upgrades go, it's on the conservative side, with Canon's newer DIGIC 8 processor now providing 4k video and 10fps continuous shooting, but everything else remaining pretty much the same as before.

The SX740 HS makes some positive steps forward from the SX730 HS, and is capable of producing nice images and good-looking videos. It's a sound option for those who just want the camera to do all the work, although the absence of a viewfinder, touchscreen and raw shooting mode means it can't be said...

Huge; stabilized zoom lens; EOS-style user interface; Images show nice colors; 4K video reasonably detailed; Fast autofocus system; Good face detection AF

No EVF; Screen not touch-sensitive; Image quality compromised at longer focal lengths; Effects of noise reduction and over-sharpening are visible; No raw shooting; Limited image quality control

I received this for Christmas and it's amazing for video and photos. Highly recommended

All the optical zoom you could want, in a camera that'll easily slip into your jeans pocket...

40x optical zoom; 4K video; Flip-forward screen; Easy to use

Image quality not brilliant; Can be sluggish to take a photo; No touchscreen or EVF; Can't shoot in Raw
