Nice but no memory card, really?I really like the camera but am perplexed as to why it doesn't come with a memory card. As expensive as it is, it should come with at least a small memory card.

SX740hsI ordered this camera for travel and hiking. I wanted a better picture quality than a cell phone camera. I like the size and the zoom lens. I carry mine with the PSC-3300 padded case attached to my belt which is very convenient to carry and access. The picture quality is much better than a cell phone in clarity and detail. It is very easy to use and when not in the auto mode it has features to adjust white balance, exposure comp, autofocus method, metering mode, image quality, ISO speed, style settings, still image aspect ratio and displaying f-stop and shutter speed number and making necessary adjustments for the picture to take. Menu access is very easy to access and use. The picture playback includes a histogram with is a must for any photographer for proper exposure and making adjustments in varying light situations. My larger camera has these features and are a must for me with my photography background. The camera connect app is very easy to use to remote control the camera and transfer pictures to my cell phone for sharing the pictures that I have just taken. would highly recommend this camera for travel or outdoor sport activities.

It's ok but I wouldn't buy it again.It's hard to take photos one-handed without hitting buttons, i.e. flash. It didn't even come with a case or extra battery. Those should have been included in the high price.

Great compact cameraThe SX740 is a nice upgrade to the SX720, which performed flawlessly for years. The super zoom is great for concerts and sporting events. I wish that Canon would continue to manufacture compact super zoom cameras for those of us who don’t want to invest in a DSLR and carry additional lenses, or carry bulkier models. I feel like they’re missing out on a critical market segment.

OK camaera but . . .This camera takes good pictures, but has some real shortcomings. JPEG only is OK, but would bertte rif it captured RAW format. And the biggest feature of this camera is its telephoto reach, but it is difficult to use with no viewfinder. Focus is difficult at extreme telephoto ranges and you really have to work hard to eliminate camera shake from blurring your images. Overall not a bad camera, but if you're looking for clear, crisp images at extreme telephoto ranges, it may hot be the best choi e.

Small but powerfulI have had several of these Powershot cameras each more advanced than the last. I appreciated the small size but powerful zoom lenses the last couple units have come with. I find the camera does a great job for me (mainly landscapes, beauty shot) types of photos. The camera definitely comes with more professional features that I do not think to use as I use the camera for vacations and travel. It is perfect for quick photos and is pretty rugged as I use it in some conditions beyond what the listed performance shows.

No Electric View Finder, No Sale.This would be a perfect camera for me becausee I love taking long range shots, and with 40X view the problem is without en electric view finder, it's a lesson in frustration, I tried. I'll give it 3 stars since it's a great camera with a design flaw that all manufacturers, for some reason subscribe to.

To Be Useful, Great Magnification Requires an EVFI am a four decades long loyal Canon Camera fan going back to the A-1. These potentially great Canon cameras with affordable long lens of fantastic (40 - 60x magnification) must have an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) to make any practical use of the great magnification. These are like trying to waggle a small diameter stirring stick at arms length and expect you can identify and image your point of interest when using the large screen on the camera back at arms length — it is a frustratingly difficult to impossible. Yet they put an EVF on a 4x camera. To compete with high quality smart phone cameras Canon must bring something unique to their platforms the smart phone form factor cannot. I finally found a high-magnification lens with EVF camera by a competitor brand. ADD AN EVF TO SOME OF YOUR LONG-LENS SMALL DIGITAL CAMERAS! PLEASE!

Great Compact Camera![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good zoom capabilities for when I'm trying to get good shots of nature. I love the flip camera for selfie shots of my kids and me. It fits easily into my small over-the-shoulder bag and It's very lightweight. I'd recommend this camera for a beginner just getting into photography like me since it's not an intimidating camera. It's very easy to use and navigate. The pictures are great quality!

Nice little camera[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice little camera. It's a upgrade from a ten plus year only Canon camera I had. Takes really nice photos I use it for snapping photos of my bird feeders at the house. Easy set and easy to take photos with. I bought a storage case as the manufacturer didn't supply one you would think expensive electronics would come with a case.

Excellent camera[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] his is a good little camera for the family. It fits easily in a pocket, light for kids to handle, it's simple enough for them to use (on auto) and get them to enjoy taking pictures during our outings, yet it has many featues we, adults, can use to have a little more control. I am in no way expert, but I did appreciate the zoom and the option to keep the camera either on auto, or on any mode it offers, which offers more freedom. The zoom is powerful, but seems to give less than sharp images when used to its fullest.
The camera comes with a menu that displays on the camera's screen, which allows you to play with all the different settings, and there are quiet a few. You can take selfies, which my kids discovered first. We don't have a need to transfer the pictures to our phone, but it is an option if needed, and easy to set up from the camera.
I was surprised to realize, only after a few weeks, that this camera has no viewfinder, which I obviously didn't miss. It did not come with a cable to connect to a laptop or comptuer, nor did it come with a card. Just things to know.

Fantastic little camera!!!![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had a wait a bit to do a review on this just so I had some time behind the lens. And I can honestly say this is a fantastic little camera. Haven’t owned one in a long time since the days of iPhone cameras. I was pleasantly surprised! Takes great pictures. I would highly recommend this to anyone!!

Great camera![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Canon Powershot SX740 is a great little camera! I’d say it’s perfect for someone just beginning to shoot photography. Perfect size camera for people on the go. Good picture quality but the video quality is superior! Video shoots in 4k. Flip up screen is great feature of the camera.

Nice Camera[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this Cannon camera. It takes beautiful photos and the quality of pictures is really great. I especially love that you can download the Cannon app and have you pictures sent directly to your phone. This camera really lets you capture the vibrancy of colors and all of the little details. I was very disappointed that the camera did not come with a memory card. I would not expect a really great card to come with it, but I would have been happy with anything. After getting the camera I had to go out and get a memory card before I could use it. Besides that, this is a great camera. I also really like how small and compact it is. The flip screen feature for taking selfies is really awesome. If you are looking for a small, nice quality camera, this is the one.

Great camera![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a novice when it comes to cameras. I'm still getting the hang of it and playing around with it's features and options. However, I already love it! The zoom is amazing in this little camera! And the fact it has wifi and Bluetooth makes it so much more convenient. Also, the quality of pictures is great. The camera is lightweight so it makes it easy to carry around all day.
Overall, this is a great camera with great features.

Great compact camera with incredible zoom[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is a great camera with incredible zoom. The 40x optical zoom is easily my favorite feature, allowing you to capture stunning detail from a distance. The camera is compact & lightweight enough that it’s easy to take anywhere. It doesn’t come with a case though, which you’ll want. It has a variety of different shooting modes with creative features and even captures 4K video. The flip-up display screen is handy for selfies and plenty bright, even when outside in direct sun. The camera doesn’t come with an interface cable and instead relies on Wi-Fi (and a separate Image Transfer Utility program for computer) or Bluetooth for picture transfers out of the box. I’d prefer a default cable option but am getting the hang of the virtual transfers. Overall, excellent camera, zoom & features.

Amazing features for a point and shoot[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a dedicated camera to take my photos to the next level. The PowerShot is perfect! Most importantly, it can zoom for days with its 40x zoom (and up to 80x using its ZoomPlus feature!). I take a ton of nature shots and the PowerShot let’s me get the perfect shot of wildlife in tall trees and at a distance. The image stabilization helps me take perfect photos every time. It even has a video camera feature to take amazing 4k videos. When I’m done, I use WiFi to automatically transfer the photos to my iPad. If you want (way) better photos than your phone, you have to get a PowerShot. (It fits in your pocket too!)

Great for a beginner like me![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm new to the world of photography that isn't just on my phone and this camera has a lot going on. I'm slowly getting acquainted with all the different modes and when best to use them. This camera is amazing and continues to impress me the more I use it.
Some of my favorite features are the 40x optical zoom which helped me capture some gorgeous shots of the lunar eclipse this year and the Bluetooth connectivity and wifi transfer! I can transfer images from the camera directly to my phone in a matter of seconds, it's very impressive!
The videos you can capture are stunning in 4K UHD, I'm so excited to capture more memories in such clarity.
It's pretty easy to use and I'm slowly getting better at operating it and more in tune with its features.
I love that it has a rechargeable battery and is light and compact enough to store in my purse.
I'm excited to get some up close and personal shots of flowers and bugs this summer with this amazing little camera!
I recommend this camera for photographers of all skill levels! It's an amazing little machine!
