According to our compact camera expert
Note: we recommend an extra battery for a longer battery life.
The Canon PowerShot SX740HS is suitable for photographers and videographers that want to make high-quality recordings. You can make detailed videos in 4K quality. In addition, you can take clear photos thanks to the 20.3-megapixel sensor. The optical image stabilization reduces motion blur. That's useful when you're photographing at dark locations. You'll have 40x optical zoom, so you won't lose image quality while zooming in. If you zoom in far, the Zoom Framing Assist helps to localize your subject. With the tiltable screen, you can easily make vlogs and take selfies. You can then wirelessly send them to your laptop or tablet via WiFi. Use the Canon Camera Connect app for this.

EXTREMELY MOISTURE SENSITIVE: a few raindrops and the device is irreparably broken: lens does not go in, display starts to show errors, the entire SX6xx and SX7xx family is afflicted with this problem. Tip for Canon: apply a conformal coating to the electronics!!!

Beautiful compact camera with an impressive zoom function (up to 160x). Easy to connect to your phone with which you can also operate the camera.

I use this camera to easily get sharp photos. Even with my trembling hands and little knowledge of photography, the camera takes beautiful sharp photos. The camera can also recognize moving animals and people.
