Canon PowerShot SX740 HS Digital Camera (Black)

Canon PowerShot SX740 HS Digital Camera (Black) SKU: 2955C001

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 740 much improved over the 730 I found the 740 quite an improvement over my 730. I had over 1,000,000 pictures on the 730 and wanted to upgrade & update. I was waiting for a newer version instead of one from 2018, but I'm really happpy with it. I pretty much just leave it on auto, and haven't been disappointed yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great camera to handle all your picture perfect shots. Love the zoom capabilities, fast accurate shots as long as your steady handed. Great at handling fast and medium burst shots.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Swaggy Camera I adore this camera sooo much. Im so impressed with the quality and how easy it is to maneuver, would definitely say its a close dupe to the g7 mark ii. Would highly recommend if you're trying to achieve stunning photos (especially for my social media girlies) I recommend putting the setting on "P" changing the IOS to 400, -1,2 exposure and do the force flash on the side!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from It would be 5 stars but….. We would have given it 5 stars except that Canon has not updated its software so we cannot use the Bluetooth or WiFi connection with the MacOS 14.3 we are using – I have no interest in sending pictures to my iPhone. Now, as in the past, we just download to our iMac through a cable. We love the camera, although it took a little time to get used to the differences from our earlier SX160 IS. We have used Canon cameras since I bought an FTb in Tokyo in 1974, and still have that and my A1 and lots of lenses. We went digital in 2012 when the SX160 IS was the last Canon camera that used AA batteries rather than expensive rechargeable ones. So far, the quality of pictures has been the equal or better than on the SX160, and when I learn the added features on this camera, it will be wonderful. For people wanting a great “pocket camera”, this should be their choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Canon SX740HS This is the second camera of this style that I have purchased. My first one was stolen on a vacation. So glad they are so easy to use!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Quality This camera has such amazing quality and a ton of features such as fish eye lens which I didn't know and thought was so cool. I love this camera because of its portable size and quality in photos especially with the flash.
