Review: Excellent camera for birdwatching, understanding its inherent limitations - I am beginning birder, and chose this camera for its long zoom (960 mm 35 mm equivalent) and its compact size. I did not want the expense, weight, and bulk of an interchangeable lens camera, or of a "bridge" camera. Because the SX740's small size and light weight, it's been easy to switch from binoculars to the camera to take pictures. (I "wear" it on my wrist with a strap.) I have had the SX 740 for about two months, and have taken about 30,000 pictures with it. I am very satisfied with the camera, and would buy it again. At long distances in reasonable light, the camera at highest zoom can take images of small birds that are acceptable enough to help me identify them. Images of larger birds at closer distances are great (see photos). I use Program mode, with spot focusing, auto ISO, and servo AF (continuous focus). The SX740 uses the same battery (NB-13L) as my Canon G7X. As a bonus, the battery lasts significantly longer in the SX740 - most times I can go two hours taking lots of pictures without battery change. Having said the above, potential purchasers should understand that this kind of camera has inherent limitations. Overall, pictures taken at high zoom will not be as sharp as those taken with a quality interchangeable lens camera. By strict eBird picture quality criteria, photos I take (usually at high zoom) are in the 1-4/5 star range, average high two's - still generally acceptable for upload to eBird. People should not expect that every high zoom picture will be good. I take multiple continuous pictures by holding the shutter down, and I can usually get at least one good picture that way. The SX740 does not have a viewfinder - the LCD screen, even at the highest brightness setting, can be hard to see in bright daylight. Finding a small bird in the bushes on the screen can also be difficult - the Framing Assist (zoom out) button can be helpful in this situation, but not always.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be a good camera to use for concerts in low light?**
A: I bought the Canon G7X in 2015 because I wanted a point and shoot that was good in low light situations. The ISO goes up to 12800. The G7X is wonderful! I've used it in concerts and also numerous times for shows in the main theatre on cruises. My friends told me I couldn't take photos as flash was not allowed-no problem with my camera. Photos turned out great! There are newer versions now to the G7X. I've been happy with mine-worth the money.

**Q: Does it have a mic port?**
A: No it does not have a mic port.

**Q: How it’s shutter sound can be disabled ??**
A: YES, the Camera Sounds can be modified under the Menu Section.

**Q: Is it easy to change the iso level in the p mode ? usually i shoot in automatic, but also like to change iso , real basic stuff !**
A: Yes it’s very easy.

### ⭐ Box says not for sale outside of Japan Menus in English
*by T***R on March 29, 2026*

Not sure why they would sell this camera under a listing that says Canon cameras US. Wouldn't that suggest that it was a USA version. There is no Canon warranty on this product. Just with the third party seller. The good part is that the menus are in English. I guess it is hard to find the USA version. The seller shipped it 2 day Air and the item arrived when suggested. Seems like a very nice camera. Will register with the seller's warranty. Who knows what the warranty covers. Nothing included in the box about the warranty coverage. Fingers crossed. Update after Using: Pretty good camera. Very similar to the Canon 30x. A little thicker. Nice smooth action on everything. Nice reversing display for selfies. I will stick with the 5 stars. Too bad about the misleading listing. Additional Update Decided to go with 1 star because this is a deceptive listing. It's a great camera. Noticed they changed the listing to take out "US" out of the listing, but still no mention that this product does not include a Canon USA warranty. They should not be allowed to include a Canon link in the listing which might suggest that this is a Canon USA version, which it isn't.
