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. This means that you can get up close and personal with your subject matter, without worrying about camera shake or blurriness. The zoom framing assist is particularly helpful, as it helps you to keep your subject centered in the frame, even when you're zooming in or out.
Another great feature of the Canon Cameras US Point and Shoot Digital Camera is its ability to shoot 4K video and 4K time-lapse movies. This means that you can capture stunning footage in incredibly high resolution, which is perfect for creating high-quality videos or time-lapse sequences.
In addition to its impressive video capabilities, this camera also features a 20.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor, which delivers sharp, detailed images with accurate color reproduction. This is particularly useful when shooting in low light conditions, as the sensor is able to capture more light than other cameras in its class.
Finally, the Canon Cameras US Point and Shoot Digital Camera is also equipped with high-speed continuous shooting, which allows you to capture fast-moving action with ease. Whether you're photographing sports, wildlife, or other fast-paced subjects, this feature ensures that you never miss a moment.
Overall, the Canon Cameras US Point and Shoot Digital Camera with 3.0" LCD is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a high-quality camera that delivers exceptional image quality, impressive video capabilities, and a range of advanced features. Highly recommended! - Robert NylundQuality and Easy CameraThis is a high-quality camera that is easy and convenient to use. I am looking forward to using it when we go on our next trip. I have been pleased with my previous Canon digital camera and believe this will be a big improvement.
- 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. - hlmhToo complicated - I just wanted to point and shootI have bought 4 of these Canon cameras, and used them all constantly, because I travel a lot. This one is just more than I wanted. I just want to point and shoot, use the zoom, flash, down load my pictures to the computer etc. Instead I got something too complicated that does more than I need and drives me crazy trying to learn how to use it. If you want all the features then go for it, but I wish I had bought something else. I had very little time to research, as I had gotten my last Canon wet and was soon to go on another trip and just bought the best rated small Canon on Amazon. This one is heavier too. I know younger people than I might like this, but we had to download the instructions from online too. The paperwork that came with it was not enough. Even my much tach savvy husband does not like it. We just had almost the same camera and nothing about this one is like the last one and we loved it. Wish I could get my $ back.
edit: We have owned this now for 8-9 months and we still do not like it at all. We do not think it takes near as good of pictures as our previous Canon cameras and this one was more expensive. I wish so much we had not bought this piece of junk. I also wish we had not bought it at Amazon, because we might have been able to go back to some place like a camera shop or Best Buy and asked for help with it. It is heavy too.
edit: still the worst camera ever. I hate it so much.
