Canon PowerShot SX740 HS
The pocket-sized Canon Powershot SX740 HS is perfect for travellers, or anyone on the move, thanks to its compact, portable design and ability to capture truly great stills and video.
Perfectly portable
The Canon Powershot SX740 HS is not at all big or heavy. Just 110.1 mm high, 63.8 mm wide and 39.9 mm deep…and a tick under 300 grams including battery and memory card. Now that is portable!
Big on performance
Small in nature but big in the quality it delivers, this compact camera is all you need thanks to 40x optical zoom, superfast DIGIC processing and 4K resolution. Capture everything in 20.3MP detail without carrying a heavy and cumbersome camera to do it.
Point and shoot
Getting great shots is made easy with that DIGIC 8 processor. Think of it as your photographic adviser as it manages camera settings, including Zoom Framing Assist and Hybrid Auto, so you can achieve spectacular results even when you just point and shoot.
You won't miss a thing
All that quality is nothing if you don't capture the moment. Fortunately, the Canon Powershot SX740 HS has supremely responsive shutter release and 10 fps continuous shooting.
Super selfies
Leave the phone in your pocket and grab the perfect selfie with the snappy Self Portrait mode and a flip up LCD screen.
Easy to share
It's easy to take great photos, and just as easy to share them with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi connectivity and auto transfer. This makes it a piece of cake to share and back-up photos to compatible smart devices or your home PC.

Great zoom and picture quality. Poor build and con
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.
Another great Canon P&S
I have been using Canon since the early 80's, so I am biased towards them. This camera has improved on earlier P&S models with a dedicated network button. It is so much easier now to transfers photo's to your computer or whatever. The 40x zoom really needs a mono-pod at the least to keep it steady.
Great Camera for Hiking Trips
This small camera has a great zoom lens and lots of features. I would have given it a 5 star but the main negative I have found is the delay in focus when you zoom in on an object.
Amazing
I received this for Christmas and it's amazing for video and photos. Highly recommended
Canon PowerShot SX740 HS review
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 to offer especially good value for money compared to rivals.- 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

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