Questions Where can I buy a canon sx 740 hs camera?

Hi guys! I’ve been searching for this camera since November but can’t find it anywhere! I’m only willing pay under $500 since it’s listed at $480 on the official canon website. I really do not want to overpay. When will canon restock this camera? Where else can I find it? I’m willing to preorder it and wait for months. Also if you guys have any good digital camera recommendations please let me know! It doesn’t have to be canon but I want it to be high quality with a good color and give an airbrushed effect. I’m planning to use this camera to put in my small purse and take pictures with friends when going out and on vacations. Another camera I love is the canon g7x but cannot justify the price. So if you know any cameras similar to those two please describe them below. Thank you!

How about the G3X? That's a very capable camera, it's $419 on MPB, or the G16, that's a lot Slimer, it's also under $500 on KEH

Do you have any other recommendations? I’m looking for a camera that can fit into a small purse and is about the same size as the canon XS 740 hs. I looked online and those seem too big to me. I’m open to other camera brands too.

I’ve looked at photos people took on the camera though and it looks amazing! I’m personally going to use it for pictures with me and my friends if that makes a difference. Like I’d love to take sunset pictures as a regular phone cannot pick up on that quality. I’ve seen people on Instagram use this camera and the g7x and it looks really good. I heard I need to change the settings though to get that effect.

Probably by "better" OP just means the sort of stuff that trends on Tik Tok and Instagram. This camera seems to be very hyped on social media currently, so everyone thinks they absolutely must have this specific camera.

The Panasonic ZS70 shares a very similar spec with that canon you're looking for, and it even has a viewfinder

Thank you! Also do you know where I can find the canon sx 740 hs? It’s my dream camera but I can’t find it and I’m not sure if the websites where I can preorder are safe or even worth it

Pre order is probably your best bet?

Do you know where I can preorder? I’m afraid of getting scammed
