Key Features
- 20.3MP CMOS Sensor
- DIGIC 8 Image Processor
- 24-960mm (35mm Equivalent)
- 40x Optical Zoom with OIS
Few things will be too far away for the PowerShot SX740 HS Digital Camera from Canon. Boasting a 20.3MP CMOS sensor and 40x optical zoom, this all-in-one point-and-shoot captures things near and far. Helping the far end of its 24-960mm zoom range (35mm equivalent) is optical image stabilization which keeps your photos sharp and in focus. Zoom Framing Assistant makes it easier to track subjects at the long end of the focal length by quickly zooming out and then back in at the press of a button once you've located your subject. Canon's DIGIC 8 Image Processor helps the camera keep up with your shooting, allowing for 10-fps continuous shooting with AF lock on.

Will this camera take decent wildlife photos?
The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS Digital Camera will take decent wildlife photos because of the 40x optical zoom. For even better-quality photos, I would recommend a 1-inch sensor bridge camera.

Does the Canon sx740 have Bulb setting for long exposures?
The Canon SX740 HS does not have a Bulb setting for long exposures. It allows for a maximum exposure time of 15 seconds, which can be set in Manual (M) or Shutter Priority (Tv) modes, but it does not support the extended exposure capabilities that Bulb mode offers. Therefore, for longer exposures beyond 15 seconds, you would need to consider a different camera model that includes a Bulb mode feature.

question
So, umm, how sharp are the images taken at 960mm?
I just wonder how it can double or quadruple the apparent focal length with digital zoom and maintain quality "throughout the range." None of my previous compacts, 4 Canon, 1 Leica, could do that. They lost effective resolution, or color depth, or both, almost imperceptibly at first, noticeably at or after 2x, and the 740's specs seem to sorta concede that by calling 2x optimal and 4x something else.
