YOU GUYS WONT BELIEVE ME!!!!

I hit the jackpot on fb marketplace yesterday!!! I know is not the popular sx740 or the G7 but it takes some good quality pics 🥲the color is not my fav but I’ll take it im still very grateful. It was an elderly couple that was selling it so is in perfect condition 🤩. I felt bad that it was so cheap knowing how much people are trying to get for them I tried to offer them more money but they wouldn’t take it.

SO I GOT IT FOR $100!!!! 🤩🥳🙌🏼✨

So here she is and all of her glory!!!!

Any tips on the best setting I can use 🤩

This is my first camera!!! I’m currently looking at a canon EOS R50 that I’m saving for. #newcamera #canonpowershotsx720hs #canongirl #lemon8contentcreator #lemon8fyp

... Read moreWow, what an incredible find! Getting a Canon PowerShot SX720 HS, especially one in perfect condition, for just $100 on Facebook Marketplace is truly a steal. For anyone wondering 'how much is it worth,' these cameras, even used, often retail for significantly more, sometimes upwards of $200-$300 depending on the condition and included accessories. The fact that it's a red model, which can be quite popular, just adds to the charm! Since you mentioned it's your first camera and you're looking for tips, I'd love to share some insights to help you get the most out of your new Canon PowerShot SX720 HS. This camera is a fantastic choice, even if it's not the G7 or SX740 you might have heard about. Its 40x optical zoom is incredible for capturing distant subjects, and with its 20.3 megapixels and Full HD video, you're set for some great quality photos and videos. For initial settings, I'd suggest starting in 'Auto' mode to get comfortable, but don't shy away from exploring the 'P' (Program) mode. This gives you a bit more control over things like ISO and white balance without needing to fully understand aperture or shutter speed. Experiment with the 'Scene Modes' too – they're pre-set for specific situations like portraits, landscapes, or sports. Since you have that amazing 40x optical zoom, practice steadying your shots, especially when zoomed in. Using a tripod or finding something to lean against can make a huge difference. Speaking of finding deals like yours, Facebook Marketplace can be a treasure trove! My own experience has taught me a few things. Always check the seller's profile for ratings and other listings to gauge their reliability. Don't be afraid to ask for more photos or even a short video of the item working. When I look for electronics, I always ask about the battery life and if it comes with the original charger and any accessories, just like your listing came with the box and case. Your experience with the elderly couple is a dream scenario – often sellers just want to clear out items quickly and aren't focused on getting top dollar, leading to those incredible 'jackpot' moments. While the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS is known for its 4K video, your SX720 HS still delivers excellent Full HD quality, which is more than enough for most casual users and social media sharing. The core photography capabilities, especially with that impressive zoom, are very similar. Enjoy your new camera, and happy shooting!
