It will be an okay camera. I have the sx710 and I don't expect the 730 will be that much different. The camera is fine in good light, is slow to focus in poor light and with no viewfinder, the extended zoom range means you will need pretty steady hands. In my case, I bought the camera on sale as it was left over stock when the newer models came out. I use it for quick snaps on family outings when I don't want to carry a heavier camera. I have gotten good enlargements up to 8X10 but wouldn't really go much beyond that.  Overall I like it much better than my cell phone.
