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.

This has to be the best 4k super zoom camera on the market today.

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.

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

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.

Absolutely love it its fantastic takes a bit to connect it to your smart phone but its brilliant feature when it is connected because you can put it on the floor take a photograph of the sky am I will live video on your phone

I've spent over a month with this camera now and having never owned a dedicated camera I would never go back to using a phone. The photo quality is amazing with vivid colours and sharp detail. It has a brilliant zoom lense that really lets you get in close.

One of the main reasons that I bought this camera was its Manual Focus feature. Unfortunately I have not yet figured-out how to effectively use the Manual Focus. With my limited experience with the camera, I usually give-up on Manual Focus and let the camera do the focusing.
