Canon SX740 HS Review! Easy to Use Travel Camera?

I normally travel and vlog with my heavy Sony A77 DSLR and Olympus TG3 Tough camera ( https://amzn.to/2LSbFCc ) . I love both of them, but I wanted to lighter zoom travel camera for vlogging and light packing. I bought the Sony HX99 ( https://amzn.to/2WgNilF ) two months ago and thought it had all the right specs and a electric view finder for bright days . However, the small size and touch screen was an issue for my big hands as I often missed focus by accidentally touching the screen.

I got Canon SX740 HS 40x optical zoom travel camera! I got the Canon SX740 special bundle with case and memory card at Costco.com for $399 but it may be gone by now. The Canon SX740 is sold online for about $379- $400: https://amzn.to/2YzuA6n

I liked the size of the Canon SX740 HS as the grip fits my hand better and had very similar megapixel and optical range without the touch screen. It was also $50 less than the Sony HX99.

I do prefer the Sony electronic viewfinder, however the easy of use and fit makes makes the Canon the camera I reach if not my Samsung S9 smart phone ( https://amzn.to/2YvZpsC ) .

Pros:
AWESOME Zoom (Canon glass lens with 40x optical zoom and additional 2x digital zoom)
Fits larger hands
light weight
Easy camera setup and connection to Smart phone
Warm saturated photos and video
electronic viewfinder for photographing in the sun,
USB charging (so I can use my cell phone charger)
compact size
Battery charger included
Face tracking
fast autofocus
Under $400
Compact Digital 20 MP
4K Video
Flip screen LCD for VLOGGING and selfies

Cons:
Image quality is not as good as expected (probably due to the small sensor)
Higher ISO gets fuzzy
Low light is not as good as Sony
Need a tripod or support for 40x zoom
Hard to manual focus
Macro photography with zoom lens is hard

Conclusion:
Overall is it worth it? If you want to travel or hike with just a smart phone and need a small ultra zoom camera with a lot of great features to take a photo or 4k video to post to your favorite social media platform, this may be the one. Light, compact , easier to handle for larger hands, and full of utility. The flip monitor is good for light vlogging or selfies. Don’t expect to zoom into your photos for lots of detail, because of the small sensor size its kinda muddy.

I now reach for my Samsung S9 for fast selfies and photos. My Canon SX740 HS for travel and long zooms. My Olympus TG3 for travel, macro and underwater photography. My Sony A77 DSLR for high detail photo and video shoots.

Brondell FreshSpa Dual Temperature Bidet! $59! REVIEW!

I got a Brondell FreshSpa Dual Temperature Bidet for $59 at my local home improvement store. There is a wide range of bidets online: https://amzn.to/2YBUFBz Some costing $20 to $400 for really fancy toilet bidets. I got this one to install at my parent’s home. My Youtube vlogs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases.

It was simple to install, however, it has no heating element, so you will need to source the hot water somewhere else. I only installed the cold water for convenience. It was really simple to install the t-connector and mount the bidet under the toilet seat. https://amzn.to/2QD6dC7

After a month of use, my parents like the convenience of a bidet to rinse after using the toilet. Otherwise, they would need to go to the shower or tub after the toilet to rinse or wash. The only negative issue of the universal bidet is the areas that attract dirt and dust, namely behind the toilet seat and cover. Regular cleaning bidet and toilet area is a must.

Costco! Novaform 8″ TWIN Gel Memory Foam Mattress! $149!!! UNBOXING / REVIEW!!!

UNBOXING / REVIEW!!! I got a Novaform 8″ TWIN Gel Memory Foam Mattress at Costco for $149! This is a terrific value considering there are other similar 8-inch gel memory foam mattresses online for $120 to $250: https://amzn.to/2LTzIk4 . This is for my guest room bed. If you need a new mattress and don’t want to deal with shipping and setup, these gel memory foam mattresses are very convenient to bring home,
fast to set up, and feel great. My Youtube vlogs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases.

I needed a new mattress for this weekend for guests so I went to Costco and bought it. It fits in my car’s rear seat and was easy to handle. Setup was extremely. Just unbox, unwrap the packaging and cut open the vacuum sealed bag. The mattress gel form inflates to full density in less than 5 minutes!!! Setup and clean up took less than 15 minutes to put sheets on it to have it ready.

In my setup, I added some Adult Bed Pads ( https://amzn.to/2LPm959 ) for my guest in case something unexpected were to happen. These were thin enough to not rustle and is really not noticeable. The come in washable and disposable versions. Alternatively, I could have bought a full mattress protector ( https://amzn.to/2Qakl5o ) to protect the entire top of the mattress. Thinking about it, the mattress protector would have been better durability and value, however, it may impact the memory foam comfort.

Another good thing about this gel memory foam mattress was the height. It totals 8 inches: 2 inches of soft topper, and 6 inches of firm foam. I placed mine on top of my existing 3 inch hard twin mattress making it the perfect height to climb in and off of.
