Any thoughts on the Canon Powershot sx740? It's about $400. I'm primarily interested in wildlife photography, including an upcoming African Safari trip.
How would a point-and-shoot like this compare to a bridge camera in the same price range? I like this because it's smaller so I can easily take it hiking. The bridge cameras have larger lenses, like you would find on DSLRs. But if the zoom is similar then how much does the lense width matter? Do the bridge cameras have any significant benefits over this?
