I have this camera already, and knew they weren’t making it anymore, so when I had the chance to buy another, took it. The camera is easy to use, I don’t want a bridge camera, they are too bulky, this camera fits in my pocket, the 40 x digital zoom gives me chance to get the pictures I wouldn’t with my mobile phone.

The camera is great. I have taken beautiful pictures. The only complaint is the outdated WiFi/Bluetooth connection to transfer the data. It is a nightmare to set up and it is also a nightmare to use to transfer data. I bought an SD card reader for iPad Pro. Now I can have my photos transferred in seconds rather than in several minutes (plus several minutes before you are actually able to establish the connection.
Dear Canon. It is 2020 to remind you. Nowadays, any wireless connection can be established with one click rather than a tedious set up process. Do something about it.
Also, as mentioned by an other reviewer. Many people do not have a PC (it is 2020 again) and if you do not want to end up as Kodak you need to grasp that idea and think about the user who cannot download your files from a PC. We use tablets and smart phones today.
There is no user manual to explain different functions. The given link to the website is messy and does not lead to the manual. I ended up watching a YouTube video explaining various functions.
All in all, it is an excellent camera. Do not get discouraged with the messy connection. Go for a card reader.

In my opinion, this is one of the finest cameras that Canon produce. Finer even than many of their low to mid range DSLRs. This the SX740HS and the 730 I bought for my wife some years ago is just as good. It is well-made and robust, not cheap but worth every penny. The 40 times zoom is spectacular. Mega distance shots look like they are a short distance away with remarkable clarity, focus and colour density, providing the light is good and you can hold the camera steady, The IS helps on full zoom but for best result a tripod or simply standing the camera on a fence post works best. There are a host of options for shooting ranging from full manual operation to a huge selection of auto settings including low light and moving subjects. The movie setting is full HD and wonderfully clear and smooth. Honestly, I got rid of my DSLR for this and don’t regret it for a single moment. The results are infinitely better. I just hope that Canon don’t retire this model but keep on improving it. Buy this camera and you wont regret it.

Great colours and a brilliant zoom. The first photo is without zoom with the sign to the right of the stone attached to a tree in the distance, the second is on full zoom. My daughter picked this camera for me and it arrived a week before the attached photos. I’m very pleased with it so far.
Mark –
Love this camera. We have some great local walks in woods and by the river with frequent sightings of various wildlife. I could never get any decent shots on my phone as subjects were too far away and I rarely carried my bridge camera with 30x zoom as it was too bulky for everyday use.
I am delighted with the Canon powershot sx740hs as it provides a semi serious camera with a powerful zoom and pops right in my trouser pocket.
I read somewhere that the best way to get good photos is to have your camera on you and use it frequently. I am now able to take it every time I go out.
I’m impressed by the 40x zoom which even hand held provides decent results due to the image stabilisation.
I’m a casual photographer (definitely not pro and a still a good few steps down from decent amateur) but this camera lets me step out of the full auto mode as a starting point. It isn’t as versatile as my bridge with regard to settings and can’t take filters but it allows me to carry a camera every day which is great. It will be so easy to pack for holidays and hillwalking too, although the lack of weather proofing is a bit of a set back in the hills (I just keep it in a zip lock good bag if rain is forecast and wouldn’t have it out to shoot in the wet anyway).
Great compact camera for the price. Battery life is okay so far although my bridge camera takes AA batteries which would have been nice as it is easy to carry spared of those. An actual Canon spare battery is a bit too expensive.
I’ve added some shots (most taken at full zoom) none of which I would have got with my phone and as for my bridge, well I’d have probably left that at home 😉🙂.

A neat pocket camera. Good clear photos. Sadly returned as it doesn’t have a view finder. My husband prefers this in bright sunlight.
Ambers Mate –
This is a great little camera. I havn’t used it a lot so far, but its easy to use and lots of nice features like powerful zoom. I think you’d have to spend a lot more on a bridge camera or SLR camera to get much better than this one
