This camera is great for photography. If you don't know what you're doing then this camera is not for you. If you can use the full potential then yes. This little thing in manual mode is a beast. You can get really creative and shoot amazing photos. Everything can be set independently like a professional camera: ISO, Shutter Speed, FS, Exposure, Focus. The photos this camera takes ARE NOT like cellphone photos like you said. Again, that's if you know what you're doing.

Forgot to mention about the Zoom... Every time I zoom I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT. Really. I don't even know how they incorporated this incredible zoom in this little thing. OPTICAL ZOOM, not digital, OPTICAL. Absolutely clear and perfect when you zoom. Now, As Gary said, the video quality is not that good. You can get away with it in 60fps and bright light though.

You can certainly take good photos with it - you can take good photos with anything. But when people say the "smartphone look", they usually mean the lack of bokeh and what not. And technically compared to a modern smartphone, this thing has zoom as an advantage and that's about it. Sensor performance is far better on modern smartphones, they have wider apertures, manual controls also, and computational photography up their sleeves such as exposure stacking to reduce noise and increase dynamic range even further beyond. Sensor wise my modded smartphone outperforms my APSC Fuji XT20! This thing's a great pocket camera for those who want a buttload of zoom, though even then modern phones have achieved 10x/240mm

@@GaryJahman Oh they already have! There's a few with Sony's one inch sensor, and many more with 1/1.3 or 1/1.2 inch sensors already. Heck, my secondary zoom camera on my phone has a bigger sensor than this Canon! On the flip side, I really want to see computation take over these smaller point and shoots, they really could do with the boost in low light performance

This camera has a problem with object focusing when zooming in from far. You need to half-press in order to maintain clear focus. I tried a similar Panasonic ZMC60, and it has the same issue. If you really want better focus when zooming, you need to buy the SX70HS which is much bigger.

Thx for this vid, Gary. For myself, I was looking at this camera for traveling and camping, primarily for its very good zoom - yes, I realize that when you magnify the image a great deal, the quality goes down. But, otherwise, it can be very useful and helpful, e.g., for avoiding bears, mountain lions, and other animals on the path in front of you that you can't quite make out with just your eyes, and for capturing vids and stills of animals, trees, points of interest on bicycle tours, camping trips, etc. I currently own a Canon Powershot SX260 HS which is surprisingly still a very good camera, and captures decent video AND sound, but I'm looking for the superior zoom of the 740SX HS.

So, I'm new to using digital cameras, I'm fairly new to photography...been doing it for about a year and a half. I was given this and one other camera for free. I'm just watching some videos trying to figure out all the in's and out's of using these...from what I'm hearing and seeing here in the comments, I guess using this camera is kinda useless if I already am used to using my smartphone if I'm not going to get more quality...I really thought the zoom would be a reason to use it? Is the zoom not any better than a smartphone camera? I have a brand new phone that seems to have a pretty good camera in it.

I have another camera that might work better... But since i'm new to digital photography through using digital caneras. I guess I'll just try both of them and see what happens...

If anyone can chime in, how is the audio? I use my phone (iPhone 13 pro Max) but I was considering this camera to record at concerts occasionally and be able to zoom in closer without losing as much detail. I usually record 4k60 on my phone but with the distances, i usually end up dipping into the digital zoom and losing the details,so I'm assuming this camera would already be a huge advantage in that department, if I'm wrong can you correct me? But also how is the mic? Even in loud concert venues my phone does pretty well not sounding completely blown out with loud music and people yelling so I'm just wondering if you have any input on how the canon would fair. Thank you in advance if you can answer

Can any camera phone perform 40x optical zoom? perform full manual mode shooting? probably. I use my phone as a communication device and i doesn't enjoy fliping out my phone every few minutes to take photos during my weekend outings or family trips, and i'll prefer to leave phototaking task to a proper camera (not referring to DSLRs level here). It is important for users to understand what is the purpose they're getting a point-and-shoot camera for. Making a choice between a camera phone and DSLR doesn't make any sense. There are consumers who prefer something in between, and i'm the type of user in the exact situation here.

I just want equiv or better optical zoom (20x), best video quality, fast autofocus, good ability to deal with the madness of stage lights, reasonable audio that doesn't clip into mush at loud volumes, best image stabilization and no dumb overheating/recording limits Sony RX100 VI/VII still is only up to 8x zoom Canon SX740 seems to have bad video quality/focus issues Panasonic ZS200 and Sony HX95/HX99 seem to have 15 min and 5 min recording limits at 4K Plus all of these compact cameras are about 5 years old at this point, as camera manufacturers think everyone is happy using their phones these days. It's much more annoying (for me and whoever is behind me) to record using my iPhone 14 pro max from the pit.. plus the lack of optical zoom range

If u do more video recording than taking still images, consider getting a camcorder instead. Most have better image stabilisation, have good optical zoom range.

@@Soreeyezzz I looked at one of the Sony camcorders that did 4K but that’s pretty old now too. I feel like you can get away with more with a pocket cam if there’s any issues by just saying it’s for the odd snap In the end I went with a pair of HX99, HX400V bridge cam for if I can get away with something larger (testing it today at a festival), RX100 incase it’s a small gig and I’m front row.. and Insta360 X3 Live (although bad overheating issues in dual lens 5.3K mode) Also testing the Sony ECM-XYST1M stereo mic on the HX400V today, might do better than the internals

@@GaryJahman I have used my phone for several years, but unfortunately sometimes when you're on a roof, the phone will heat up and the screen is impossible to see. Not to mention it also makes it uncomfortable to hold in your when is that hot. Moreover, when you work in what I do, you also get a million calls and emails a day. So most people opt for a camera so they can relieve some of the demand off the cell phone. At the end of my work day, sometimes I have 1-2 thousand pictures to go through from all the properties inspected so ... It would be easier pulling them off a SD card than the cloud to be honest. MY MOST SERIOUS CONCERN though is that I need a camera that can snap the pictures fast so I can go back to back fast taking them. Would this one do that you think? If not, what would do the job?

My usual equipment is Sony A6000 (very recommended) and Canon D5100 (average). But they are not very convenient for taking out everyday in my handbag. I bought Canon PowerShot SX740 HS not long time ago and I regret already. Photos and videos are NOT CLEAR enough. Weight is light and zoom is big yes, but also means easily to be blurry when shooting, so you may need to carry a tripod (???What is the purpose to buy a light camera then???). Dark environment performance is TERRIBLE. However, if you are looking for just a very entry level camera with most functions, it maybe fits your need..

This is true. In fact the auto mode is pretty bad on this camera. The camera has a small f stop at 3.3. Meaning it needs a lot of light to take good photos and videos. Auto mode tries to bump up the iso to compensate for this. It turns the iso so high the image looses clarity and becomes blurry. I always shoot manual with this camera so I can manually adjust iso, shutter speed, and such. With manual it can take some great photos. Video on the other hand, suffers worse from this small f stop. 1080p is not great, 4K is but only shoots at 30fps. If you want a zoom lense though you will have a small f stop. If you want great lit photos and videos then you cannot have a zoom lense. Or better, get a dslr and change lenses based on your needs!
