Excellent video review. I have been researching this online and yours was the first one that actually provided useful information and a valid comparison. Thanks so much for your efforts. Gary
I definitely prefer the 720 in the video clips you showed. I also read a good amount of reviews saying that the 730 has some problems with focusing. I don't plan on vlogging or taking selfies so I think I'll go with the 720. Thanks for the review! Very helpful Also PSA for those interested in the 730: I just saw that Amazon has a 15% off coupon for it which puts it at around $320, only $25 more than the 720 which is $295
Glad you enjoyed the video. I personally haven't noticed those issues with the SX730 HS, but the flip out screen is definitely one of the camera's biggest benefits over the SX720 HS.
Great video I just purchased the SX720 because I love the scarlet color. I'll be using for UA-cam videos. Sucks it doesnt have the flip up display, like the SX730
i have the sx730 and am a little torn. It feels great to hold and the flip screen is definitely handy. However, it definitely has a focusing problem. It can be very frustrating trying to get the camera to focus, if not impossible.
beautiful video bro.thanks again for making this.as I recently purchased sx720hs for vloging&photography I just miss that flip out scrin but I fill happy that I've saved $50 .however can u please make a full menu tutorial of Canon sx730hs..Please&please tell me dose it have a inbuilt timelaps movie mode&HDR picture sceen mode.because in sx720hs it laks......Anupam
does the SX720HS suffer from reflection of glass because i want to buy the SX720HS cause i don't do video i just want it as a camera for taking pictures at the zoo
all same specs inside... but the 730 is now bulky, kinda reduce its portability concept... but zoom cam much better with flip screen because you can hold it with more stable hand position... its shame that its increasing the bulk badly... and no other worthy improvement in its internal spect other then some basic image colour tunning...
Yes it was, but decided against this camera as I found the camera cannot charge from USB whilst operating (in particular, capturing video) :( :( (my Sony WX350 can, so might be sticking with a newer Sony model after-all).
I'm deciding right now. For a while, I was hooked on the SX620. Seemed like the SX720 wasn't that much better, just a little more zoom. The SX730 with the flip screen and bluetooth really captured my eye and got me thinking. The only cons I've read is the mic isn't that great and there's no external port for another one to plug into. I've also read that the night pictures aren't the greatest. One pointed out that it seemed a tad heavy. Other than those, most loved them, even over the A900, it's biggest competitor. Many are amazed at how far it can zoom. I'm keeping in mind that this is a point and shoot camera. It's not designed for pro photography. A camera that captures great images at night, excellent for all terrains and temperatures, raw support, etc. can be bulky and very expensive. So the real question is, how much do I want to spend? Ebay has the lowest prices. For a new camera in the box, battery, and charger: SX730 is $340.00, SX720 is $260.00, SX620 is $195.00. If it were for that flip up screen, the SX620 would be my perfect camera. Is it worth the extra $145? The longer telescopic lens would be nicer to. Bluetooth to send to my devices. I think it is.
Good analysis. All three of those cameras have their pros and cons. Personally, I like the SX730 HS the most because of the flip up display. I do a lot of video work and don't do much photography. What are you going to be using the camera for?
Why can't you just say 730 and 720? Mentioning the full model number in the beginning would suffice. Repeating those long names over and over becomes annoying. Great video, by the way :)
Glad you like the video! UA-cam (& Google) ranks videos based on the number of times that certain key words are said in the video, which is why I said the full names of the cameras numerous times. Sorry if it got a bit annoying lol.

Nice review. Bought the 720 today for 199€ in Portugal.

From the video, obviously 720 has better and more saturated color than 730 but 730 has better anti-glare effect. Isn't it?

Does the 730 screen only flip up for selfie style shots? Or does it tilt down also so that you can do overhead shots and still see the screen?
it only flips up
Please Does the canon SX730 is a good camera for taking pictures!
Thanks
Yes, it is!
SX730 can be charged via the MicroUSB port !
Hrishik Mukherjee really?? i have this camera, but when i plug it, it doesn’t respond
Thats how I charge my SX720.
Is SX730 HS can blur background image??
Can I use them as a webcam?

What are you going to be using the camera for?
I am gonna wait until canon sx740 hs will release , lol
That might not be for a while.
Kevin Breeze 1 year no problem for me
Tbh the lack of a touch screen doesn't really matter because there are buttons for everything.
nice review..very helpful..
I had canon sx 720 , so what is the difference with sx730 ??
Nice
I have one question when i order from Amazon does it comesbwith a sd card
Good video
Thank you so much!
Kevin Breeze no problem Man U made me figure out what will be my next camera
I'm glad that it helped you.

I'm pretty sure the 720 is better because when I looked it has more stars let me know your opinion guys
Where does it have more stars?
@@KevinBreeze he mean reviews
Chuweny? 😂😂😁

That's kind of strange because I've never had an issue like that with mine. Have you contacted Canon customer support?
