Design And Portability

Compact And Lightweight: Fits easily in a backpack or coat pocket and ideal for trips, family events, or day-to-day use.

3.0″ Tilting LCD Screen: The flip-forward screen makes framing selfies and vlogs simple, and it tilts for shooting at fun angles.

User-Friendly Controls: Canon’s familiar layout and menus are intuitive even if you’re new to dedicated cameras.

This design gives you DSLR-like zoom capability in a camera that is still easy to carry everywhere.

Zoom And Image Capabilities

40× Optical Zoom Lens (24–960 mm equiv.): One of this camera’s headline features — letting you capture wide landscapes and detailed distant subjects from the same compact body.

20.3 MP Back-Illuminated Sensor: A 1/2.3″ sensor paired with Canon’s DIGIC 8 processor ensures vibrant photos in good light and responsive performance.

Optical Image Stabilization: Helps reduce blur when shooting handheld, especially useful at long zoom ranges.

The zoom range and stabilization make the SX740 HS especially useful for travel, wildlife at a distance, or architectural shots where you can’t physically get closer.
