Hello Canon Team and Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my interest in the Canon SX740 flip screen camera, which was recently discontinued. This model has been incredibly valuable to me and many others for its unique features and compact design.
Given the strong demand and the specific needs that the SX740 fulfills, I would like to inquire about the possibility of Canon running a special production run of 10,000 units of this camera. This model's flip screen and overall functionality have been unmatched, and there is a significant number of enthusiasts and professionals who would greatly appreciate its return.
I understand that manufacturing a discontinued product involves substantial effort and planning, but I believe the demand justifies the endeavor. Is there a way to discuss this further, possibly exploring the feasibility and potential requirements for such a special production run?
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Moshe

Gawd yes please. This camera fills a unique niche that no other camera fulfills. My sx720 took a dip and won't power up. Please bring it back,.or even better yet. Give us an updated version.

Odd... They appear on the Canon shop site for the US under Point and Shoot:
PowerShot SX740 HS Silver (canon.com) do you live somewhere else?
I live in relatively remote New Zealand and I did a local search for the SX740HS and found a whole list of places selling them here!

Yes! It is the size of a phone but no phone has 40x Optical Zoom so there must be a market for it.
Or even better an improved version with ext mic support.
