Compact Power Meets Incredible Reach
The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is a pocket-sized digital camera built for travelers, parents, and everyday photographers who want more reach than a smartphone can offer. With a 20.3MP CMOS sensor and Canon's DIGIC 8 Image Processor, it delivers crisp, vibrant images in a surprisingly slim body.
Whether you're capturing a soccer game from the sidelines or wildlife across a lake, this point-and-shoot camera puts distant subjects within easy reach without sacrificing image quality.
40x Optical Zoom That Gets You Closer
At the heart of the SX740 HS is an impressive 40x optical zoom lens spanning 24-960mm (35mm equivalent), paired with Optical Image Stabilization to keep shots sharp even at full telephoto. The Zoom Framing Assistant makes it simple to re-locate a subject that's zoomed out of frame, a feature loved by sports and wildlife shooters alike.
Need more reach? Digital zoom extends your range even further, letting you fill the frame with subjects far beyond the optical limit.
4K Video and Fast Continuous Shooting
Beyond stills, the SX740 HS records 4K UHD video and 4K time-lapse footage, giving creators cinematic quality without a bulky rig. Fast-moving action is no problem thanks to 10-fps continuous shooting with AF lock, so fleeting moments are captured in sharp focus.
Selfie-Ready Display and Wireless Sharing
A 3.0-inch LCD screen tilts a full 180 degrees, making it effortless to frame selfies or vlog-style clips. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC connect the camera to the Canon Camera Connect app for instant photo transfer, remote shooting, and quick social sharing.
What's Included and Who It's For
Each SX740 HS ships ready to shoot with its rechargeable battery pack, battery charger, and wrist strap included. It's compatible with standard SD memory cards and pairs seamlessly with iOS and Android devices running the Canon Camera Connect app.
This camera suits anyone upgrading from a smartphone who wants genuine zoom reach, better low-light ISO 100-3200 performance, and dedicated photography controls in a travel-friendly body.
Reliable Canon Quality You Can Trust
Backed by Canon's reputation for dependable imaging gear, the PowerShot SX740 HS blends long-zoom versatility with modern connectivity and 4K capability in one easy-to-use package. It's a smart, affordable choice for anyone wanting dramatically more reach and resolution than a phone camera, without the complexity of interchangeable lenses.
