Canon have updated their new superzoom travel compact camera for 2018/19, the PowerShot SX740 HS, by adding UHD 4K video recording and faster 7.4fps burst shooting, thanks to the inclusion of the latest Digic 8 processor.

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.

I am a smart phone camera user and I wanted to take a step up, take better quality photos. I was drawn to the SX740 because of the 40 X zoom and the 7.6 frames per second still shooting. Having had a chance to try the camera out I am impressed with the picture quality.

Hard to beat this camera at this price point. Zoom is hands down the best at this price. Wireless image transfer is a nice feature, as well as the 4K video. My wife uses the camera mainly for wildlife pictures and she's happy with it

Zoom; 4K video; screen

Exposure has a completely different feel than older model

Was hoping to use the camera when out and about and not wanting to carry any bag, just pop it in a pocket. Also wanting the reach of that long lens. I knew the quality at the long end might be compromised but found that all images, even wide angle were overly sharpened, full of artifacts and just...

Lightweight; Simple Controls

Poor image quality

Canon's latest travel zoom compact camera offers a 40x optical zoom in a body that'll snugly fit in your pocket. In 35mm terms, that's 24-960mm, giving you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to snapping distant subjects.

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

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

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.

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.

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
