Not all photographers want a revolution. Fans of pocketable-cameras-with-big-zooms will be pleased to hear that the SX730 is in many ways similar to its predecessor, the SX720. It still has a remarkable 40x zoom lens and a 20.3MP 1/2.3in sensor, but it now also has a vertically tilting LCD screen, some extra shooting modes and the addition of Bluetooth to its already useful Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity. That tilty screen adds a smidge of size and weight, but otherwise the SX730 is still dead handy. And, at £380, spot on for a summer travel cam.

About

Fraser used to wear a Psion Series 3 palmtop in a shoulder holster. Perhaps he still does.Either way, his lifelong mission - including fourteen years for Stuff - has been to see whether the consumer electronics industry can ever replicate that kind of cyborgian joy.So far: nope. Despite a plan to combine a action camera and Olympus Eye-Trek goggles to become Man Who Sees The Vision Of A Man Three Inches Taller Than Himself.He also likes mountain bikes, motorbikes, cars, helicopters. Still thinks virtual surround is witchcraft. Dislikes jetskis, despite never having been on one.
