Canon PowerShot SX740HS

A serious step up for anyone wanting significant zoom reach in a compact body — the SX740 HS packs a genuinely massive 40x optical zoom, letting you get close-up shots of distant subjects like wildlife, sports, or scenery without lugging around interchangeable lenses. It shoots 4K video, includes built-in image stabilization for handheld shots at long zoom, and offers Wi-Fi/Bluetooth for easy photo transfers straight to your phone — a great choice for travelers or hobbyist photographers who want more reach and control than a basic point-and-shoot.
