Loving the zoom on this camera, can get great close up shots from a distance

Such a fantastic camera for first time vloggers and memory making!!

I bought this camera as an update to my Canon SX700HS which has always been a great performer. The advantages of the SX740HS are the 40X zoom and the fold up screen which helps with taking selfies on holidays. The high resolution movies are really super on my TV. The ability to take time lapse looks great although I haven't tried it yet. My one and only gripe is that the menu doesn't provide for the ability to set the new time zone when you travel.

40x optical zoom makes it versatile; Generally accurate autofocus; Good photo quality in daytime; Shoots 4K video at 30fps;

Small sensor restricts low light performance; No option to shoot in Raw; Screen isn’t touch-sensitive;

40x optical zoom; Good image quality in good light; Easy to use; Well priced;

No touchscreen; Raw shooting not supported; Smaller sensor means iffy low-light performance;
