About this product
The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS Lite Edition is a remarkably compact camera that packs a serious 40x optical zoom into a body just 39.9mm deep. With a 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 processor, this pocket-sized compact captures sharp, detailed stills and 4K ultra HD video wherever you go. The 24mm wide-angle lens gives you versatility for landscapes and group shots, whilst that impressive zoom range lets you pull in distant subjects without lugging around extra lenses. Weighing just 299g, it's light enough to carry everywhere.
What makes this camera useful is how it balances portability with serious imaging. 5-axis stabilisation keeps footage smooth when zoomed in, and continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second means you won't miss moments. Face detection tracks up to 9 faces automatically, perfect for family gatherings. The 3in LCD screen makes composing shots easy, while built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with Auto Transfer let you quickly share images to your smartphone or back them up to your PC. It includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, carry strap, and HDMI connection for playback on larger screens.

Amazing!
Such a great camera and easy to use and navigate. Definitely worth it!
Charl, Manchester
Worth the investment!
I’m honestly really happy with this camera. I mainly got it because I wanted something small that I could easily take out with me, and it’s been perfect for that. The photos come out really clear and the 40x zoom is probably my favourite thing about it, especially when taking pictures from further away. The autofocus is quick and the image stabilisation makes a big difference when zoomed in. I also really like that it’s simple to use and doesn’t feel too bulky compared to bigger cameras. The battery has lasted well for me so far and I’ve been able to take loads of photos without constantly worrying about charging it. Overall, I think it’s a really good little camera for everyday photos, holidays and going out. Definitely happy with my purchase and would recommend it!

Best camera without breaking the bank
I bought this as an alternative to the G7x and can say it’s worth the money!! Resolution is so crisp yet has a nice blurring effect without ruining the quality. It’s so good for videos and literally produces no blurry pictures or lines the focus is so nice on it !

Easy to use
Amazing camera quality. Easy to use.
DVS
Great features!
I bought this earlier this month and it’s such a good camera! I originally wanted the g7x but this is almost as good. It does take getting used to as it can be blurry if there’s not enough light but you can use flash or adjust the settings. The best thing is that you can get your photos directly onto your phone using wifi or bluetooth onto the Camera Connect app. I love that the screen flips so you can see yourself when you take a selfie as well!
