Few things will be too far away for the black PowerShot SX740 HS Digital Camera from Canon. Boasting a 20.3MP CMOS sensor and 40x optical zoom, this all-in-one point-and-shoot can capture things near and far. Helping the far end of its 24-960mm zoom range (35mm equivalent) is optical image stabilization which keeps your photos sharp and in focus. Zoom Framing Assistant makes it easier to track subjects at the long end of the focal length by quickly zooming out and then back in at the press of a button once you've located your subject. Canon's DIGIC 8 Image Processor helps the camera keep up with your shooting, allowing for 10-fps continuous shooting with AF lock on.
The 20.3MP sensor is also capable of 4K video and 4K time-lapse recording. Framing for videos and photos can be done via the 3.0" LCD screen on the rear of the device, which can tilt 180° for selfies. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow the camera to connect to compatible mobile devices with the Canon Camera Connect app installed and enables quick editing and sharing of photos.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Is taking the sx740 to the cold/freezing weather ok?
A: Typically a camera of this type, has a working temperature of 32 degrees F. The manual does state the operating temperature is min-32 deg and max-104 deg.
Q: 2. Will use for a trip. I want a camera that has great zoom but also great wide angle to shoot a group of people. Good wide angle?
A: The Canon PowerShot SX740 has a 24mm equivalent lens for the wider range which is consider to be a wide angle lens. It would be a good camera for group shots.
Q: 3. So, umm, how sharp are the images taken at 960mm?
A: The image quality is equal throughout the range.
Q: 4. Does it shoot raw format?
A: No
Q: 5. Is there a time limit or cool down period on 4K video clips from camera overheating ?
A: Practical application tests tell me everything I want to know. Having worked with previous Powershot cameras I knew that letting it record video unattended would cause one of three things to happen:1. Run out of battery charge2. Run out of memory space3. Hit a maximum time limit (but then would it start a new file?)So I set it out in temps over 100 degrees in the shade and let it capture the wildlife on video, checking on it every ten minutes or so. Finally after a half hour it stopped recording making only one video file, and unfortunately the camera will not start a new file as is commonly the case with action cams.The good part is that the camera was still operational with battery remaining, and in that thirty minutes of operation had not overheated in such extreme temperatures.If you wish to have longer videos than 30 minutes, then you will need to poosh da button again.
Q: 6. what devices can you wifi pictures to?
A: You can wifi to smart device ( smart phone , tablet etc. ) with canon app Canon Camera Connect
