Don't worry about going off topic! I'm fully aware these cameras have their limitations, but as @saaber1 illustrates, they are still very capable. If the SX730 or 740 had an optical or electronic viewfinder, and considering it takes the same batteries as my G1 X III, I'm pretty certain I'd buy one now - just to make the flying things easier to photograph. As I backpack, for me it's about weighing up (no pun intended) what sort of weight I'm willing to carry around vs quality of photos I can capture, and the zoom would be my second camera after all.

And as @Wugzz says, custom firmware would help in some cases. The manufacturers do disable features in lower-end cameras.
