Product details

With 40x optical zoom, ultra-fast Digic processor, impressive 4K movie resolution and 20.3 megapixel pocket size photo resolution, the powerful PowerShot SX740 HS is the ultimate all-in-one solution for
capturing precious moments full of detail.

With a depth of only 39.9 mm, the PowerShot SX740 HS offers a powerful 40x optical zoom, a 20.3 megapixel CMOS sensor and a Digic 8 processor - for high-resolution photos and movies in a simple way.

Canon's unique Digic image processor manages camera settings such as Zoom Wizard or Hybrid Auto, so all you have to do is aim at and shoot the subject to get the best results.

With spectacular 4K resolution and 5-axis image stabilization, valuable moments with unusual detail diversity are captured - even when filming from motion.

With its impressive reaction speed and continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second, no valuable moment is lost. The self-portrait mode and the foldable display are the best prerequisites for optimal selfie.
