Point and shoot cameras are a great way to get higher quality photos and videos on a budget. In this video, I will be testing the Canon SX740 HS in real-life situations to help give you a better feel for what this sub $400 point and shoot brings to the table.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the sx940. it’s helpful. My camera is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I already have a sx920. It’s the zoom! I found that I use it for stills. I set the shutter speed at 1/1000 and let the iso float for most shots and let over and under exposure compensation. Snow or dark depending. I think I will like the moving monitor. Thanks, I’m a new subscriber.

Hi have you tried these filters for it yet. I believe that can help with the lighting. I only just started with this camera as a beginner.

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

Hello! I haven't tried the filters, I prefer to adjust color in my editing software instead, that way I have more flexibility in editing the original file

@garfonkeelrafolsgallego6792 3 года назад

Thank G. I will be buying this one for birding. Would you agree?

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

Yes, the telephoto zoom is where the camera really shines in my opinion!

@janetfvlogs6375 3 года назад

Hello, I just bought this camera for my Vlog channel. What setting do you recommend to set the camera for vlogs? Also what editing software for my Dell laptop do you recommend? Thank you 🙏🏼

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

Hi Janet! I'd recommend opening up your aperture as much as possible to get a little bit of background blur. I personally think 1080p looks much better because you avoid the cropping you get with 4k. As far as editing software, I use Adobe Premiere Pro, but Filmora is what I used before since it's a good alternative for computers that may not be fast enough for Premiere Pro

@janetfvlogs6375 3 года назад

@@itsjohnzamora Thank you John for replying. So, should I just leave it in auto mode and don’t move the settings?

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

You're very welcome! I usually put it in aperture priority mode and open the aperture as far as possible (meaning you want the aperture number as low as possible)

@janetfvlogs6375 3 года назад

@@itsjohnzamora Okay, aperture mode is the AV mode correct? I’m looking at my camera while I message you 🙈 I am so new at this camera stuff I’ve been using my phone for vlogs for the past year 🙊

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

Haha no worries at all! Yes, AV is the correct mode. Turning the number down opens up your camera lens and allows more light into the camera 👍

@2cuteVa 2 года назад

Nice video. I’ve had this camera for about 2 yrs now and I’ve only used it a handful of times. I’ve been into photography/editing lately so I’m definitely going to utilize it more. Thanks for sharing

@shyamalganguly3598 3 года назад

Camera with all light bright and sunny and you have little problem but I wanted a comprehensive test under low light conditions. So what is it with the purchase of this one?

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

You make a great point; I never tested it in low light. I wouldn't recommend this camera in low light. It's maybe a hair better than most cell phones in low light, but I wouldn't say that it's good. The photos really degrade pretty quickly if you're shooting anything at night, or even indoors at times if you don't have plenty of lights on

@liv_fahn4072 3 года назад

I agree, I just got this for Christmas and recording in low light is pretty grainy like it would look on a phone.

brother i am confused in buying either canon xs740 hs or canon M200 but then i have to spent extra money but right now i just wanted it for my instagram plz can you suggest that will be a great help , love from INDIA

@itsjohnzamora 4 года назад

What will you be using it for? If you want that nice background blur, I'd go with the Canon m200. I personally have used the Sony a6000 for years and recently added the a6100. I prefer those over Canon because the autofocus is a bit quicker, making it more useful for video and action photography 👍

@sagartomarr 4 года назад

@@itsjohnzamora mainly for stills on insta and fb i love videos as well slomo motion mainly but my samsung s7 edge is doing decent job but for i wanted better images quality for stills, do you think investing in sony a6000 in 2020 could be an option?

@itsjohnzamora 4 года назад

If you can get your hands on an a6000 I really think it's a great value right now! Plus, it's still compatible with so many lenses so you'll have a lot of room to grow until you feel the need to upgrade. It was the camera I learned photography and videography on and it was perfect for that!

@317peppermint 3 года назад

I bought this camera a year ago but most of my pictures are blurry. Especially when zooming on them

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

Gotcha, I would recommend trying to increase your shutter speed for better sharpness; especially if your subject is moving

@ag1805x 3 года назад

Is it still worth buying the Canon PowerShot SX740HS or are there any better camera in the same budget?

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

I don't think the SX740HS is worth the full price of $400. For that budget, I would recommend spending a tiny bit more for an entry-level mirrorless camera like the Sony a5100, Sony a6000, Canon M50, or even older point-and-shoot models of the Sony rx100 or Canon g7x if you can snag a good discount on one of those. The situation where this camera shines is that I do think it's your best option for a long zoom lens at this budget. If you don't see yourself using the zoom often, there are other options out there that will have better image quality and that are more dynamic 👍

@ag1805x 3 года назад

How to film in slow motion with this camera?

Your only option is to shoot at 60fps, then slow it down to 40% speed in your editing program if you're exporting at 24fps or 50% speed if you're exporting at 30fps

@soorajunnithan8424 3 года назад

Can you recommend any good 4k camera under 400$

@itsjohnzamora 3 года назад

I think the best bet you have is a point and shoot camera like this one, but the 4k still has a ways to go. Personally, I don't use the 4k on this camera because of the crop factor it comes with, and this is the case with most point and shoots in this price range. Maybe in time, the 4k will catch up but for now I find the 1080 to be much easier to use in these kinds of cameras 👍

@Zkpe02 2 года назад

This camera fits the bill for me. The portability and it’s small size doesn’t attract attention when street shooting like a larger DSLR up in your face would. I also take pic’s of old abandoned buildings using the excellent zoom from the roadside when I can’t get up close and the property is posted no trespassing….I don’t blog so it’s not an issue with me and I mainly shoot only stills…I’m sure there are much better camera’s to be had and I have some SLR analog cameras that I use as well that were quite pricey in their heyday and still take excellent pictures on film.. Digital technology is and will be getting better but to keep up with the best there is increases in cost as well and besides the pictures will only be as good as the eyes you are looking at them with.

@itsjohnzamora 2 года назад

Yes, there are hundreds of better cameras out there, but for this price and this size, you can't get a better zoom 👍
