Sell old Canon PowerShot SX740 HS

The PowerShot SX740 HS (2018) is Canon's pocket superzoom: a 20.3-megapixel 1/2.3-inch sensor, the DIGIC 8 processor, a fixed 40x zoom covering 24-960mm equivalent at f/3.3-6.9, 4K video, 10 frames per second, a 3-inch screen that tilts up to face you, Wi-Fi with Bluetooth and the NB-13L battery. It has no viewfinder and no hot shoe. Most SX740 HS bodies come to us from travellers and parents who bought it for the zoom and now use a phone.

What moves the resale value of a Canon PowerShot SX740 HS

The lens cannot be removed, so the SX740 HS is graded as one piece: the front element, the zoom barrel, the lens cover blades and the zoom lever first, then the screen hinge, the pop-up flash, the mode dial and the base plate. Run the zoom from 24 to 960 and back and make sure it extends fully and focuses at both ends. This row asks for the grade and the original items you still have, box, bill, charger, battery and bag, but no age band, so the condition you choose does most of the work.

Lenses usually sold with the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS

There is no lens list on this page because the zoom is built in. A case, a spare NB-13L, a memory card or a small tripod is not a priced row; hand them over at pickup if you wish and mention them on the call.

How the quote works for this model

Pick the grade, tick the original items you still have and verify your mobile number. The quote shows the camera line and the total; the representative checks the lens through the whole zoom range, the sensor and the screen at pickup and pays that amount when the camera matches your answers.

Bodies are priced on their own; every listed lens you tick is added from its own price row. Four grades (Flawless, Good, Average, Below Average), five original items (box, bill, charger, battery, bag) and five age bands, from under four months to more than two years, set the number. Read the guide before you answer.

Questions sellers ask about the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS

The zoom on my SX740 HS is slow and makes a small motor noise. Is that a fault?

A 40x zoom that extends fully, focuses at both ends and retracts when the camera is switched off is working normally; the motor noise is part of the design. A zoom that stops short, grinds or shows a lens error message is a working fault, so pick Below Average and say so on the call.

Is this the SX740 HS page or the SX730 HS page?

This row is the SX740 HS, the 2018 body with 4K video and the DIGIC 8 processor. The model name is printed on the top plate next to the shutter button; if yours reads SX730 HS or another name, use the Canon brand page to find the matching row.
