According to our compact camera expert
The Canon Powershot SX730HS is a compact camera that is suitable for vloggers and people who travel a lot. The compact size means the device easily fits in your jacket or pocket. Thanks to the 40x optical zoom, far-away subjects will be captured sharply in your photo. The camera is equipped with Zoom Framing Assist that helps you locate your subjects when you zoom in. Unforgettable moments are easily captured thanks to the 180-degree-tiltable screen and self-portrait mode. You can control the SX730 from a distance with your smartphone by connecting both devices via Bluetooth. In addition, the camera is equipped with WiFi and NFC, so that you can share all the recorded footage quickly and easily with friends and family.

I was looking for a handy camera to carry around easily and not have to carry around a large, heavy SLR and came across the SX730. The manual is reasonable, but sometimes very concise and not always logically arranged. It is certainly recommended to read everything carefully with the manual. There are tons of features, but remember that when you take a picture. So take the time to get to know the camera well. On the screen I put a protective film against fingerprints and scratches. Because the buttons are close together and are quite sensitive, it easily happens that you touch a button that is not intended at that moment. Last days the camera was used on a city trip and mainly used the AUTO mode, which takes some getting used to because of the automatic subject selection. What was disappointing is the battery life, after about 200 photos the battery was empty. Positive is the exposure in poor light without flash. The zoom range is good. However, it should go a bit slower for accuracy. I do recommend showing the grid for a good photo. The communication options Bluetooth, NFC and Wifi work well. Disappointing is that GPS use is via smartphone and Bluetooth, which is bad for the battery of the camera and smartphone. The menu on the camera is sometimes very illogical. Deleting one photo takes 3 clicks with 3 buttons. Canon's apps work well.

Easy to carry because it is a compact device. We first took (good) photos with the iPhone, but we missed the zoom range.

I am very satisfied with shooting and filming in light. Clear photos, nice filters and the camera starts up quickly.
Shooting in the dark is very difficult. I think the big downside is that the flash doesn't open automatically. In addition, the slide for opening the flash is difficult to find by touch. When focusing (press halfway) in an underexposed situation, often nothing happens. After repeated pressing, finally something happens. This is disturbing.
I recommend the camera when used in normal light and possibly twilight. I do not recommend this camera in poor light or completely dark.
