About this product
The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS Lite packs serious zoom power into a pocket-friendly 39.9mm-deep body. With a 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 processor, it delivers sharp, detailed images for family moments or wildlife. Its 40x optical zoom starts at 24mm wide-angle, offering impressive reach without bulky lenses. Five-axis image stabilisation keeps shots steady when zoomed in, while the 3-inch LCD screen aids framing. Shoot continuously at 10 frames per second with a responsive shutter to capture fast action precisely.
Beyond stills, this camera records 4K video with sound, ideal for capturing high-definition memories on the go. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with Auto Transfer let you share shots to your smartphone or back them up to your PC without cables. Face detection recognises up to 9 faces for group portraits, while intelligent scene mode adjusts settings automatically. The built-in flash handles low light, and red-eye reduction keeps portraits natural. Weighing 299g, it fits easily in a bag or large pocket. The kit includes a rechargeable NB-13L battery, carry strap, and HDMI connection. Memory card support covers SD, SDHC and SDXC formats (card sold separately).

Best purchase ever
I brought this camera and it is honestly so worth the money, the pictures are amazing and it is so easy to transfer onto your phone. Recommend to all!!

Bigger and heavier than expected -- but excellent
The SX740 images looked like the model was very similar to the SX620 and had higher zoom capabilities. But it is larger and thicker. It is heavier. The only plus is the 40x zoom and the screen (so you can take selfies). I wanted another pocket sized, point and shoot camera like my SX620 (with 25x zoom) but getting a 620 has been impossible. I bought it, so I'd have a replacement when my 620SX started losing pixels. This is a perfect camera for anyone that wants a point-and-shoot camera with an excellent zoom. It's not a 'pocket' camera like the SX620, but it's a good, easy to use camera that can save important moments.
