I love my SX740 HS. Replaced my Panasonic DC-ZS70 with it. It's great to have a pocket sized super zoom for easily getting up close to things when I don't want to lug around a huge lens for my X-T3

@lpsoldi3r 4 года назад

In what ways is the SX740 HS better than the DC-ZS70 in terms of video and picture quality?

@hmsdefiant 3 года назад

I've got the 730, same but just 1080 and it's so useful. The zoom is amazing for the size/price. If you just want 1 reasonable compact camera, I definitely recommend these.

@Brianuyahoo 4 года назад

Nice review. I have been using the much older SX700 as an "Every day - Everywhere Carry". YES, most current mirrorless cameras and DSLRs are way better. But this is super light, super small .. and way better than the smartphone camera. Improvements over my old model: 1. Longer zoom 30X >> 40X 2. 1080HD >> 4K 3. Higher resolution: 16 >> 20 megapixel 4. Fixed Screen >> Tilt Screen Is this line "perfect" .. of course not, but it can do quite a bit and it can fill a niche. For me, it's worth upgrading from my old model as an every day camera.

@thedrbat9572 2 года назад

im not a genius when it comes to cameras but the fact it can zoom so far out is exactly what i want, i am always in situations where i want to record something that is a little far away and my iphone 11 is garbage when it comes to zooming. it also has a 60 fps option at full HD and 720p hd which is amazing!

@HenryFalkner 4 года назад

Works pretty much like my Olympus SH-1, + longer zoom, +4k, but less battery life. Nikon A1000 has a viewfinder. Will look at both when my SH-1 gives up (no service available for it).

@jclust 5 лет назад

@Technobby 5 лет назад

I've just debated to myself whether to get this camera or smartphone camera. Finally, I got a smartphone, LG V40 to be precise. They literally have the similar sensor size, though LG has 1/2.6". Only thing I'd consider Canon is the zoom functionality beside V40 has manual control, 4K60, wider lens, raw and cheaper.

@markattardo 5 лет назад

For me, point n shoots in general are interesting until they get north of $300. Then I start thinking used Interchangeable lens cameras...although I will look up super zooms on occasion. That said, I still mess around with my 8 year old Canon SX 230HS from time to time. It works great for a pocket camera and shoots 1080 / 24. If this one checks the boxes for someone there's nothing wrong with that.

@strengthandbulkMadness 5 лет назад

The compact zoom is the biggest attraction to this camera. Can we get some low light zoom tests? Compact zoom lenses vary. Some focus better in low light than others.

@christineluu1385 5 лет назад

what would you prefer to use as a vlogging camera or recording a regular video??

@UltimateVictory88 2 года назад

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?

@nomore8441 3 года назад

I personally don't think it's a vlogging camera either. It's more of a quick point and shoot camera. where you quickly take a pic or get a good zoom picture

@aengusmacnaughton1375 5 лет назад

To me -- in your RU-vid video on my 47" HD TV, the SX740 4K looked more like your 1080p from other cameras. It did not look as tack-sharp as your videos with 4K from m43 and larger sensor cameras (I actually went back and compared on my TV) -- how good is the 1080p from the SX740??? As a first-step (due to the low price) into 4K, it's probably OK -- but once a person gets a larger-sensor 4K camera with sharper 4K, you would not want to use the SX740 as a b-roll camera because the viewer would see the difference. But maybe for a "camcorder" alternative for "Home Movie Dad" it's not a bad choice -- for the money.... Thank you again for doing all of this!

Good review. I have used mine for about 3 months and it is all I was hoping it would be. The telephoto images are excellent, I would have to spend a lot more for a larger camera and a lens to do what this camera does out of the box. I am not a professional photographer/videographer but I get the results I want. I upload the images to my IPad and can do a lot with my photo editing to come up with some really striking images. I can connect the card to my TV and watch the images and recording on a larger screen than my IPad. Looking forward to some great wildlife shots.

I may buy this camera but will never use it at 4k (I see no difference) 60p 1080p is the way to go. You said you recorded this at 1080p in the settings it is auto 480p. I clicked it on and tried to watch it at 2019p but every 5 seconds in would start buffering so I watched it at 1080p and every was fine. The only cameras I ever had were the Kodak pocket cameras from decades ago long before you were born. I bought the Sony CX-405 Camcorder a few weeks ago, so if I buy this one I will have the best of both worlds How long does the battery last and can it be recharged? Thanks for a great review. PS.
