This camera is packed with features that make it easy to capture stunning photos and videos, whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist.
One of the standout features of this camera is its 40x optical zoom, which is accompanied by an optical image stabilizer and zoom framing assist.

Highly recommended! - Michael CExcellent camera for birdwatching, understanding its inherent limitationsI 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. - B. ClarkGood Camera; Old-School Internet AppIf you are not interested in using this camera for easy uploads to the Internet, then you can safely ignore this review.
But if easy upload to your phone or home computer is important to you, then read on. After getting the camera logged onto our home Internet (not easy) I found that every time you need to upload new photos to my phone using their Canon Connect app, was a complicated process that didn't just do it, but required complicated permissions from both the app and the smartphone, each time.
And then, after figuring out how to import the new photos to my smartphone, it didn't even have a way to easily access them. I had to use a file manager in order to find out where the app automatically stored them. And no, in case you ask, it did NOT automatically upload tehm to Google Photos or Amazon Prime Photos. Totally useless. It is MUCH easier to pull out the camera card and insert it into my computer. Very disappointed.
