Hey Kevin. Have you been able to test to see how long you can record for in 4K? I know some other cameras shut off after about 5 mins due to overheating (which you mentioned in the video), but I was wondering if you have had any experience shooting for a long time uninterrupted. Thanks!
Thanks for a well-done review. It's four years ago, so what's new for 2022/23? I have a few Canon pocket-size SX cameras which are pretty good, but looking forward to new developments. Thanks again.
Great review. I need something like this to augment my camcorder for shooting at shows. One thing I need though is for the viewer to also be able to tilt down for when people are standing in front of me so I can hold the camera up higher to shoot over their heads. I assume this viewer only folds up? Do you know of any similar in a pocket sized camera where the view screen will also tilt down? Prefer a Canon since they are mic'd well....
Hey, Kevin! Great review! Would it be a more direct comparison to put this up against the Sony HX80, considering sensor size, feature set and price? Thanks!
Hi, how do you disable to shutter clicking sound? I tried to disable all sounds but only managed to disable the beeping sound when it is trying to focus.
Hi Kevin, your review is very impressive and informative. I had PowerShot S100, which worked well for me for the last four years. But it suddenly developed some trouble and I can't use it. I was told that any repair would be costly; to buy a new camera would be a better option. SX 740 HS seems more like my previous camera. I think I will go for this one. Another one is G7X Mark II. Any suggestions which one I should buy. Thank you.
If i was to leave this in my car recording while i go surfing, how long will it record before it stops? If it were charging off the car while recording with the car on, for example? How long would it film for? Could you get 2 straight hours of record time if it were charging? Yes, i dont know much about cameras😁
Mia Mae just purchased this camera for myself! the camera can record up to 30 minutes of footage at a time. you can’t just plug in the camera and film however: you actually remove the battery from the camera and charge the batter separately, so 30 minutes is the most you can film at a time. hope this helps!
Do you have any info on battery life while shooting 4k video mode? Another video review said this camera has a battery that goes empty quite quickly when shooting 4k video. What are your thoughts on this? I shoot about 30 sec to 2 min clips in 4k. I need a battery life that is going to last me up to 6 to 8 hours in a day. The last big shoot I did was Rose Parade floats last January. I shot 4k footage on a another camera and I had to bring an external battery with me to continue shooting.
When I’m in selfie mode and I take a picture it flashes the green light many times maybe 10 and also beeps probably the same amount before taking a picture. Then the screen stays black and says busy for about 4 seconds before I can take another selfie. Is this normal?
I think, Panasonic Lumix ZS70/TZ90 is better than this camera with viewfinder, touchscreen, slow motion etc as additional features at similar price range. Only cons is it has 30X optical zoom compared to the 40X zoom in SX740...
I got one of these and am disappointed by the muddy-smearing look to landscape details even when shooting at ISO 100 and in 4K video modes on bright, sunny days. There's no way to fix the smearing. Indoors the camera is horrible - my iPhone 8 Plus shoots sharper, more details still photos and 4K videos. The only strong features of the camera are good audio quality when shooting video, good image colors and brightness and good image stabilization. I like the 3 year old Canon SX720 HS better than the SX740 because the outdoor landscape colors are extra rich and accurate compared to the SX730 and SX740.
I'm sorry to say I had to ditch this camera after a very short time, as the picture quality leaves a lot to be desired, especially next to the likes of a Sony RX100M3.
Thanks for watching my video! Here's the camera:
Canon PowerShot SX740 HS - amzn.to/2wNKkGo
which is better between sx730 and sx740?
Well the SX740 HS has 4K and the SX730 HS does not.
Kevin Breeze when are you going to do the SX730 and SX740 comparison? Because I’m planning to buy camera. Thank you.
Can I buy it from amazon link from Australia?
ruclips.net/video/GoGgw-mh7OE/видео.html is this also belong to you?

Hi Kevin! Thanks for ur review! Does "Canon Powershot SX 740 HS" supports slow motion videos & how is the portrait mode? does it give bokeh effect?
Well I guess this is my best option if I'm going to buy cheap vlogging cam.. right ???
Awesome first look/review. Gonna sub in hopes that we see more reviews/comparison videos of this bad boy.
"A variety of pieces of literature" ahah
It's gorgeous! I'm in love with this camera!
How is it with stability and when zoomed in for recording. Looking at it for a vlogging camera. Thank you for your honest and informative reviews.
The stability when zoomed in is probably as good as it can be. Glad you liked the video!

How is LCD visibility in sunlight ?
Thanks for the help
Can the camera take pictures while recording video?
Great review! Way too many choices out there, but this camera is looking like the one for me.
Good quick review and showcase 👍🏻
Which is better between Canon Sx 740 & Canon Sx 540
No such thing. Both are "better" .

@@elianaterrebonne4038 please say me time limit in 4k? Can camera restart again automatically?
Does this camera record any audio when taking videos?
Can you set the selftimer to 30sec on the sx740?

4k is 4 times more stronger powerful that eats allot of data of your memory card that is the reason wwhy it takes a lot of battery.
Really liked the way you reviewed.
Thanks for the great report can you cm pre it against the Panasonic LZ 110 AND LZ 220 thanks stay safe
Glad you like it. I'll try to get those cameras soon!
perfect for vlogging...thanks !
Looks an awesome cam, nice review 👍
Are you able to attach an external microphone to this camera?
B Ravin no i been looking on RUclips about it for a week
@@PlantYourWealth thank you Tay Fishing Tv I appreciate the response
Is thus camera good for vlogging?

Hello. Please make comparison for Canon Powershot SX740 SH and SX730 SH.
What is the video frame rate in the SX740 HS??
What is the video time/length limit at 4K video recording?
5 min but it automatically starts a new clip and keeps recording
@@365expressions5 Is it true?
Hi Kevin nice review well done
Peace be upon you. Can I have an introductory and educational video for the Arabic language camera? Thank you very much

Does it shoot in RAW format?
I don’t know if you’re still looking for an answer but no. It does not.
