Canon PowerShot SX740 HS (Black) – Compact, Powerful, and Easy to Live With

The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is a handy little compact camera that punches well above its weight. With a 20.3 megapixel sensor and an impressive 40x optical zoom, it’s built to handle everything from wide scenic shots to distant subjects you can’t physically get close to.

Despite the huge zoom range, shots stay sharp thanks to built-in optical image stabilisation — especially useful when shooting handheld or at full zoom. And if you ever lose track of your subject while zoomed right in, Canon’s Zoom Framing Assist quickly pulls back to help you re-frame, then zooms straight back in again.

Powered by the DIGIC 8 processor, the SX740 HS feels quick and responsive, offering continuous shooting up to 10 frames per second when focus is locked — ideal for capturing action or fleeting moments.

Great for Photos and Video

The 20.3MP sensor delivers crisp, detailed images, even when light levels start to drop.

You can also shoot sharp 4K video and 4K time-lapse footage, giving your clips a clean, modern look.

The 3.0-inch LCD screen flips up a full 180 degrees, making it a great option for selfies, travel videos, or casual vlogging.

Easy Sharing and Simple Control

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you connect straight to your phone using Canon’s Camera Connect app, so you can transfer, edit, and share photos without mucking around.

For those new to photography, the Feature Assistant provides clear, on-screen explanations of camera settings, helping you learn as you go.
