    • Excellent camera for birdwatching, understanding its inherent limitations
Color: Black
Review Image by Michael C
Review Image by Michael C
Review Image by Michael C
I am beginning birder, and chose this camera for its long zoom (960 mm 35 mm equivalent) and its compact size. I did not want the expense, weight, and bulk of an interchangeable lens camera, or of a "bridge" camera. Because the SX740's small size and light weight, it's been easy to switch from binoculars to the camera to take pictures. (I "wear" it on my wrist with a strap.) I have had the SX 740 for about two months, and have taken about 30,000 pictures with it. I am very satisfied with the camera, and would buy it again. At long distances in reasonable light, the camera at highest zoom can take images of small birds that are acceptable enough to help me identify them. Images of larger birds at closer distances are great (see photos). I use Program mode, with spot focusing, auto ISO, and servo AF (continuous focus). The SX740 uses the same battery (NB-13L) as my Canon G7X. As a bonus, the battery lasts significantly longer in the SX740 - most times I can go two hours taking lots of pictures without battery change. Having said the above, potential purchasers should understand that this kind of camera has inherent limitations. Overall, pictures taken at high zoom will not be as sharp as those taken with a quality interchangeable lens camera. By strict eBird picture quality criteria, photos I take (usually at high zoom) are in the 1-4/5 star range, average high two's - still generally acceptable for upload to eBird. People should not expect that every high zoom picture will be good. I take multiple continuous pictures by holding the shutter down, and I can usually get at least one good picture that way. The SX740 does not have a viewfinder - the LCD screen, even at the highest brightness setting, can be hard to see in bright daylight. Finding a small bird in the bushes on the screen can also be difficult - the Framing Assist (zoom out) button can be helpful in this situation, but not always. ... show more

    • Great utility/functionality for the price point
Color: Black
I used to do professional sports photography so I have a very high end Canon DSLR and several (mostly telephoto) lenses, but that setup just isn't all that useful for everyday walking around due to size and weight. I also try to avoid using it in situations where it might get damaged such as fishing in saltwater with a small boat. This, on the other hand, is pocket sized, easy to use, has a great zoom range for it's size, shoots really terrific video in decent light, and is inexpensive enough that if it gets damaged it won't break my heart. The auto focus is good, but I find a bit better clarity with center focus. I've given it a good shakedown with both with still photos and video, and am pleasantly surprised by the video quality, except in really low light (here's an example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DNoUHPmIxc). As Canon users already know their smartphone app is unintuitive and clunky, but it does work okay once you get the hang of it. All-in-all it's vastly superior to a cell phone camera and nearly as convenient. I'm glad I got it. ... show more

    • Canon -SX740-HS , The Little 1/2” Sensor Camera That Could !!
Color: Silver
Review Image by Dreamer
If you are looking for a small pocket camera that does it ALL , 4K + 960mm ( 35 Equivalent ) Zoom. Then your search is positively over and if you want all this has to offer for less than $400 , this camera is for anyone !! It is not only a solidly built camera , but oh that lens . You have to wonder where it all came from !! Once extended to it`s fullest , you truly have to wonder from where. Once into the ‘digital zoom’ you will NEED a tripod , you can`t get clear shots at 960mm with holding the camera. It has all the manual settings you could want and still remains true to it`s ‘point & shoot’ roots. The tilting screen feels solid when flipped and when folded back feels solid as well. The ‘onboard ‘ mic`s are very good within 8 feet or less inside and at arms length while in the field. I find them more than adequate for my needs and I think you will too. No ‘touch - screen’ for me is a plus , this is a camera , not a cell phone !! All functions can easily be accessed via thumb wheel at the back and switching from one screen menu to another via the zoom control. So all and all , I can not understand why the need for a touch screen. The Canon Connect App , makes the camera worth the price of admission !! You can place the camera on a tripod and remote control ALL camera functions including zoom using the app that is available for IOS & Android . The same app allows for transfer to tablet or cell. Sadly if you are wondering where the Bluetooth is , well , it is supposed to be there but I have yet find a way to use it. Still not a deal - breaker considering the remote capabilities of the camera when connected to the app. I find the easiest way to transfer my videos and pictures is to simply remove the card and pop it into a reader or computer. It will show up on your desktop or drive menu and can easily transfer any or all to what ever folder or other drive you wish. So what color ?? For me it was a no - brainer to get the Silver with Tan accents , total class all the way. Think different , not all cameras need to be black !! So how do I rate this point & shoot marvel ? 4.5 Stars , why not 5 ?? because of the 1/2” sensor. Although combined with the Digic 8 processor , it does a fairly good full size sensor likeness . It`s ability for ‘low light’ shooting and movie is evident Canon did something right. All in all a buy now suggestion ! I hope I have helped , Gary -- aka Dreamer ... show more

    • Box says not for sale outside of Japan Menus in English
Color: Silver
Not sure why they would sell this camera under a listing that says Canon cameras US. Wouldn't that suggest that it was a USA version. There is no Canon warranty on this product. Just with the third party seller. The good part is that the menus are in English. I guess it is hard to find the USA version. The seller shipped it 2 day Air and the item arrived when suggested. Seems like a very nice camera. Will register with the seller's warranty. Who knows what the warranty covers. Nothing included in the box about the warranty coverage. Fingers crossed. Update after Using: Pretty good camera. Very similar to the Canon 30x. A little thicker. Nice smooth action on everything. Nice reversing display for selfies. I will stick with the 5 stars. Too bad about the misleading listing. Additional Update Decided to go with 1 star because this is a deceptive listing. It's a great camera. Noticed they changed the listing to take out "US" out of the listing, but still no mention that this product does not include a Canon USA warranty. They should not be allowed to include a Canon link in the listing which might suggest that this is a Canon USA version, which it isn't. ... show more

    • Arrived as advertised
Color: Silver
I wanted to leave a review for anyone else who might be as hesitant as I was. I took a gamble buying a camera on Amazon but thankfully it panned out. It arrived brand new with all accessories and exactly as advertised. From initial (April ‘26) unboxing/tests it’s working alright. Mine was a model made for Japan market so I don’t have any warranty from Canon but the seller provided 1yr warranty which I feel is a show of good faith. I saw someone say that theirs stopped working after a while so I’ll update this when I’ve used it for some time. All in all, good camera, fair price, light & perfectly portable, and the pictures are beautiful! I’m excited about it!! Hope this helps ❤️ ... show more
