The problem with this kind of camera, tiny 1/2.3″ sensor with slow f/3.3-6.3 lens, is that it’s never going to deliver an honest 20 megapixels. It’s diffraction limited at every zoom setting. They’d be better off with a 12 megapixel sensor, or going to a 2/3″ or better sensor. Today’s average smartphone will likely do better at wide-angle, anyway.
@Dave Agree with you. The compacts of today with 2/3″ sensors are not able to deliver images like smartphone.
Doesn’t appear to be much reason to upgrade from SX720.
Now, if the SX730 was 30MP and the SX740 would be 40MP, then, it may be good reason to upgrade from SX720.
