Purchased this as an impulse buy last week for our Disneyland trip and i must say that for a point and shoot camera it has great zoom as well as the flip up screen helped out a lot and the WiFi sharing is great too. I don’t vlog but I do take ocasional quick videos so a microphone jack to add a better microphone would have been great but other than that I’m glad I purchased this camera I’m very happy with it for what I need it
Great review, I have the 720 and might upgrade to this to get 4K, lack of panorama mode is no issue, in camera panorama stitching takes time and is never very good, just take a sequence of photos and stick them together in photo stitch of Photoshop gives you much more freedom and will always provide better quality panoramas than using the in camera modes in other cameras. The zoomed shot of the Hollywood sign showed you just how bad air pollution is in LA, quite shocking, thanks for a great review, although I would love to find this camera for $250 here in the UK, dollar price here in the UK for this camera is $440, we do get ripped off though over here in the UK, they call it rip off Britain or treasure Island. :-)
I enjoy the sx740 hs so far. I know it's not a good expensive camera but it's about the user too. I'm sure theres a way to compensate for low lighting. But it's not like I will take it into a cave or anything. Concerts...maybe but considering one camera I had was stolen from a concert...Im a bit iffy
thank you for showing how the camera performs on planes, this is the main subject i will be using this camera for. when i dont have my real camera, i can whip the SX740 out of my pocket and get a photo of something cool while not carrying my camera bag
Hello there, You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that the demonstration of the Canon SX740 HS on planes was helpful for you. It sounds like the portability and convenience of the camera make it a great companion for capturing spontaneous moments, especially when you're without your primary camera gear. The ability to quickly grab the SX740 from your pocket and capture moments without the need for a camera bag is indeed a valuable feature, especially in situations where convenience and speed are key. If you have any more questions about the Canon SX740 HS or if there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask. Happy shooting! Best regards, Daniel
Thank you for reviewing and speaking clearly about the Panorama Mode which is indeed an essential feature for travellers. Have u compared it with Nikon A900 ? Which one would you prefer ?
Great video. Was just wondering how I would add an external microphone to this camera to record videos? Such as a Blue Yeti microphone. This camera does not have a spot to attach the audio cables that come with the Blue Yeti. It only has a USB and HDMI component. Would I just have to use OBS to record my audio portion using an external microphone then sync the audio and video files on my editing software?
hey there the only way to do that is via your computer. Once you have connected the camera to your computer you might use an external microhone as well. the camera does not support a 3.5mm jack. Daniel
Check out this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ls23eTKzsPQ.html It might be the case that your phone does not support it. Try a phone from one of your friends. Daniel
Apple on purpose design all external appliance not to support their product. They forced you to buy only apple. Other product like non apple NFC charger may not work on iPhone/ computer but ok to other brands !!!
Thank you for such a thorough review, I was happy to see this performed well extremely close up for macro mode which you covered at 10:44 I really appreciate you helping me decide :)
@@the_daniel_life canon supports 4k..but if we consider 1080p , image quality, several filters and versatility then which will be better? And also during zooming which one gives better focusing And stability? Which one would you suggest?
Hi, I don't have a good camera on my phone so I'm looking for a quality, compact camera. I do graphic design so need it to take very high resolution pictures that could be printed large/ used on large screens. I was ready to get this Canon SX740 but I would really prefer a camera with the panorama option because I do use it occasionally and I don't want to pay so much for a camera where I'll miss that basic feature. A flip screen and wireless connectivity (to transfer to smartphone/ tablet) are essential. What camera do you recommend?
Hello, get this one here and merge the photos together in Adobe Lightroom, to get a panoramic photo. Daniel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bdHCMBb4cPE.html
A small sensor like this does not allow for much background blur ( bokeh). You can get a bit of bokeh as long as the subject is far away from the background and your close to the subject.
New subscriber here 😊 I have a question sir, would you still recommend this compact camera for 2021? Or should I get the other brand with better specs than this? I'm into long zoom and picture quality for a compact camera. Thank you 😊
Hello from Frankfurt and thanks a lot for subscribing. I still recommend this camera, if you need a lot of zoom in such a small and compact format. The other option would be this one here --> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--5muy0F6V_U.html
Hi! Love your videos! Would you still recommend this camera in 2021/2022 for vlogs/travel vlogs and maybe some interior videos/vlogs as well such as unboxings, reactions? Is it good for taking great pictures and nice 4K quality videos with no recording limit (even in low light outside..let's say a city downtown where you do have lights on the streets), are the internal mics good enough outside and the stabilization (according to what type of camera is)? Does it has a 4k video quality and picture quality similar to top smartphones or the quality is inferior? How is the autofocus quality - is it good or with problems similar to the one in the G7X Mark III. Or should I get the DJI Pocket 2 Creator Combo (with wireless mic) or just the standard one (for 4K vlogs)? Ooh..also does this Canon camera connect to the pc so I can use it in OBS with a Røde USB mic? I also have a LED ring light and a green screen. Now when I'm recording vlogs/travel vlogs I use my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus with a Ulanzi mini tripod/selfie stick and a Saramonic smartphone mic) but it records 4K only with the back camera and I have no screen to see myself...plus I just wanna use it as a smartphone and want a separate camera for videos because it's much more okay for me. When I'm recording videos in front of the computer I use my 1080p webcam in OBS with my Røde NT USB Mini mic. Which one do you think has a better image quality in 4K, better sound and better indoor video performance using a led ring light - DJI Pocket 2 or this Canon camera? Or the Sony ZV-1 is the king and that's the best option now? Thank you so much for the help! :)
Hello, thanks a lot. I would reather take my focus on the Sony RX100 VI or VII. Or the Sony ZV-1 because you better take a camera with a port for an external microphone. Daniel
Hello, if you need a lot of zoom then this camera is still a great choice. If quality matters more have a look at the Sony RX100 models. Daniel. Regards from Frankfurt/Germany.
Hello, thank you very much. Happy to help you out there. I don`t know about your budget, but I like this camera a lot, since it does have a microphone port. ---> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vAKoi1tqXRg.html Regards from Frankfurt, Daniel
Great review, however i have a question. I want to make covers of many songs and I'm looking for a good quality of recording. Would you recommend this one? 🙄
No this camera has poor mic quality as for any other camera that still point and shoot. I have the CAnon SX60 mic quality is poor is just a bit to muffle and not as clear, you can try upload one in youtube your video sound sound pretty bad. My LG G7 has a better mic quality
@@kono152 Yes If your asking about G7x mark 3 then you may record 4k video and cause of the processor is a bit more advance your video will come out very smooth and less noise also more light.
Thanks for the review and for pointing out that the camera lacks panorama mode. It's so important and Canon is just so stupid. There is absolutely no reason to not include this feature which you can find in every mobile phone for the past 10 years. And with a midrange smartphone you can have slow motion, but not with a canon camera which costs 350 dollars (or 350-400 euros). I'll go with a Sony hx60 or hx80. I hope someone from Canon sees that review and that comment.
for me it is very important that I take pictures and see myself in the camera, here the screen is moving apart, it is very important for me, 40 optical zoom is enough for me. And this is a compact camera, and not a huge professional SLR camera which I cannot take with me or not need to buy a separate bag for this camera. and this camera shoots in 4k resolution, not full xd. and the camera has WI-FI and bluetooth
Hello sir We puchase this camera sx740hs from watching your video But the memory card come with this camera in box is 48 Mb per second but it's not supporting please help me and how many video Mbps of your memory card. And what you can use for uploading video Pc or Mobile. Please help me
Hi if you need one that support for fast power but its made dslr still works fine on those budget camera. Your be suprise its 64gb on sale, yoursee the price. www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-extreme-64gb-sdxc-uhs-i-memory-card/6293604.p?skuId=6293604
A beginner most likely has issue of not working out the camera trying to figuring out how to make it work properly. I can help you out no worry, for this camera its very hard to make the video come out super good for a beginner, You need to set your video at 1080p Full HD, you can have 4k but it eats alot memory bytes. Note this camera is only good when there alot of lights not low light. If your hard on camera then try to get a smartphone thats can deal better job. :)
Hello, it‘s alright. Have you taken a look at this camera here? It allows you to use an external microphone. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vAKoi1tqXRg.html

If you film yourself without being in the wind to much. Yes! My alternative is this camera here -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vAKoi1tqXRg.html
Would you recommend this camera for a DJ looking to shoot photos and video in low light environments? I have been told the G7x or G9x are my best options, but they are a bit over my price range.
Hello, good news: you can change the battery and it comes with an extra charger. Get a spare battery for long days of shooting (my recommendation). Daniel
Does this have a flip screen i saw this camera online and it says no were that it has a flip screen but here on this video there is a flip screen? So is there?
@@the_daniel_life I have a question. Do you think this camera will be good for doing day in the life videos or just like vlogging also do you know how long the battery lasts? Thank you!
Hey im trying to upload videos from camera to my laptop wirelessly. I downloaded the canon software received a message that images are sending but nothing was actually sent over to my laptop.
This looks incredible! I'm thinking of buying this camera and the zoom plus pixel quality looks perfect but wondering if you've had much success with taking photos of the moon?
I wasn’t feeling my camera I felt like I should of purchased a more expensive one to have better quality and more features. In all actuality you showed me that my camera has different features, I didn’t know I could charge my camera in the car so I’d take it out and plug it into the battery charger and it was just a lot. So I’m happy with my camera again. I also didn’t know I could use an app so that was cool to.
@@the_daniel_life Hi Daniel, thanks for the quick reply. I actually figured it out right after I posted the question lol thanks anyway :) have a good day
If you don’t need an external microphone yes butif you do need a next turn on microphone, I would rather go for this camera here -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vAKoi1tqXRg.html
Hello, RAW files contain more information, which is better for post editing. A JPEG contains less information, with a smaller file size, while most people are fine with JPEG, when they use their photos for Instagram, FB and Co. Daniel
Imo: panorama sucks. But other than that I truly enjoy my sx740 hs. Great pics great zoom and once spring comes around then I'll be testing out my macro on the camera. I do believe any camera can take a good photo. It's all about the user too.
Until you can take the last photo, the battery has died already.you can try to use this camera using a power bank at the same time.I did not try it out, to see if it works
Well, if you need a good video + a good audio quality I would rather consider to get this lens camera instead -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bdHCMBb4cPE.html
Does anyone know how to improve the audio quality in my camera? I just got it out of the box and played with video settings, but nowhere do I see any option to change audio settings. It sounds like something is covering the mic and the quality is very poor. How do I change this??
@@LoganTheGemmyCollector actually you know what, it’s not too bad but it’s slightly worse than my iPhone video audio quality but I’m just so used to my phone that it made my camera sound weird
At the very end he did a little clip of him on a plane but it was really hard to hear him, he was also sitting right over the wing of the plane though.
Hey I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer my 4K videos from my camera to my iPhone because it isn’t working for me through the canon app and it seems that it’s possible to upload in 4k please help.
