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

To have a compact piece of equipment that does not require any wires to transfer data and at the same time has unlimited features like time-lapse and 180-degree screen tilt is absolutely amazing for a beginner or a pro-level photographer.

A unique 3.0-inch Tilt-type LCD; Comes with a 40x Optical Zoom; Allows you to take a 4-K Time-Lapse; Has a special built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; Allows for a 7.4 fps High-Speed continuous shooting

Not waterproof; Relatively heavier

Fits into a pocket, zooms into small spaces from a long way away, takes clear and luscious images. So glad I bought this model.

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.

Really good features, telephoto lens is great for close ups, compact and no trouble to carry around.

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

Worst camera. I read the reviews, I researched it and I thought that I was getting a really good secondary camera. Awful video quality especially in law light. And an awful noise during video playback.I don't know, maybe the camera is good, just the camera that I got was problematic.

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.

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

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
