The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is a pocket-sized digital point and shoot camera that delivers 40x optical zoom in a body small enough to slip into a jacket pocket. Built around a 20.3MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor and Canon's DIGIC 8 image processor, this travel-focused camera captures high-resolution stills and 4K UHD video without the bulk of interchangeable lens systems. The 24-960mm equivalent zoom range covers everything from wide-angle landscapes to distant wildlife, making it a practical companion for vacations, day trips, and everyday documentation.
Whether you are photographing architecture across a plaza or capturing birds at a local park, the SX740 HS provides reach that smartphones and fixed-lens cameras cannot match. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity allow wireless image transfer to smartphones for immediate sharing, while the 180-degree tilting LCD simplifies self-portraits and vlogging.
The 40x optical zoom lens spans a 24-960mm equivalent focal range with Optical Image Stabilizer to counteract camera shake at longer focal lengths. The DIGIC 8 processor handles noise reduction and autofocus calculations, enabling responsive performance in varied lighting conditions. ISO sensitivity extends from 100 to 3200, with auto ISO managing exposure adjustments as light changes.
The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS records 4K UHD video at 30 frames per second, capturing detailed footage suitable for travel documentation and social media content. Full HD recording at 60 fps provides smooth motion for action sequences. The 180-degree tilting LCD flips forward to face the subject, allowing content creators to frame themselves while recording. A dedicated movie button on the top plate starts and stops recording without navigating menus.
The camera's compact size and stabilized zoom make it practical for handheld video work. While dedicated vlogging cameras offer additional features like external microphone inputs, the SX740 HS provides capable 4K capture in a package that travels easily.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS to connect directly to smartphones and tablets running Canon's Camera Connect app. Bluetooth maintains a constant low-power connection, enabling remote shooting and automatic image transfer in the background. Wi-Fi handles larger file transfers when needed. This wireless integration lets travelers share images to social media without carrying a laptop or card reader.
The camera also connects to computers via USB for direct file transfer. Compatible with Canon's Image Transfer Utility 2, images can automatically upload to a computer when within range of a configured Wi-Fi network.
At just over 10 ounces with battery and memory card installed, the SX740 HS fits comfortably in a pants pocket or small camera bag. The textured grip provides secure handling despite the compact body, and physical controls include a dedicated mode dial, control ring around the lens, and rear dial for quick setting adjustments. The 3.0-inch LCD offers clear visibility in most lighting conditions, though very bright sunlight may require shading the screen.
The camera uses Canon's NB-13L rechargeable battery, which provides approximately 265 shots per charge under CIPA testing standards. For extended shooting days, carrying a spare battery ensures uninterrupted coverage.
Travel photographers benefit from the combination of extreme zoom range and pocket-friendly dimensions. Instead of carrying a camera bag with multiple lenses, travelers can document entire trips with a single compact camera. The 40x zoom captures distant landmarks, architectural details, and wildlife without changing lenses or moving closer.
Families looking for a capable everyday camera find the SX740 HS straightforward to operate. Auto modes handle exposure decisions, while scene modes optimize settings for specific subjects like portraits, landscapes, and fireworks. Parents photographing school events, sports, and vacations get usable zoom reach without the learning curve of enthusiast cameras.
Content creators starting out with vlogging or social media video appreciate the tilting screen and 4K recording. The wireless transfer features streamline workflows for creators who post directly from their phones. For those exploring Canon cameras, the SX740 HS offers an accessible entry point with room to grow.
The SX740 HS does not include an optical or electronic viewfinder. Framing and review happen exclusively on the 3.0-inch tilting LCD screen. In bright sunlight, consider shading the screen with your hand for better visibility.
The camera supports SD/SDHC/SDXC and UHS-I cards. For 4K video recording, use a UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) card to ensure consistent write speeds. Cards with slower ratings may cause recording to stop unexpectedly.
Yes. The lens includes Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer, which compensates for camera shake during handheld shooting. This proves especially useful at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where small movements become magnified.
The 40x zoom provides 960mm equivalent reach, which helps frame distant birds from accessible locations. The Servo AF mode tracks moving subjects, though the smaller sensor and autofocus system perform best in good lighting. For casual birding at parks and feeders, the SX740 HS delivers capable results in a highly portable package.
The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS combines extreme zoom range, 4K video, and pocket-friendly portability for photographers and travelers who want capable imaging without carrying dedicated camera bags. Samy's Camera offers fast shipping, expert support, and a complete selection of camera accessories to complement your setup.
