The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS Black is a versatile pocket superzoom compact with a 1/2.3-inch, 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor and an impressive 40x optical zoom lens (24-960mm equivalent). It records 4K UHD video at 30p and includes a tilting touchscreen for easier framing during selfies and vlogging. Optical Image Stabilizer keeps shots steady even at extreme telephoto, and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth make sharing images effortless. Compact, lightweight, and travel-friendly, the SX740 HS is designed for casual photographers who want serious zoom reach without carrying interchangeable lenses.
