Another year, another excellent PowerShot S

This camera takes killer Video. Anti-shake device works as if you had this camera on Glide-Cam mount. Awesome. But photos Im not really impressed with. It takes very good pics in dark places where you dont need flash BUT when you put the flash on it takes too long to for the flash to load power to...

Great full HD videos; a whole lot of options like DSLRs; compact

Colors that so great; flash loading time is too long; poping flash everytime; bad pictures in 24mm focus/angle; battery doesnt last long

Advanced compacts were once mostly large and bulky and, while offering improved level of image quality upon standard compacts, weren't particularly easy on the eye. Recent technological advancements have, however, allowed for such models to be shrunk down to a more pocketable and portable size, and...

Good handling; Excellent image quality; Fast and easy to use; Outstanding build quality

Somewhat overpriced currently; So-so battery life

Canon PowerShot S120 review – The Canon PowerShot S120 is the latest model in an acclaimed series of advanced compacts, and is proof that high-end performance can come in small packages

The Canon PowerShot S120 may not look like much of a camera at first glance. Most thin fixed lens cameras that look like the S120 are models that don't perform at a high level, either in working speed or in terms of image quality.

Very fast performance levels; RAW image quality available in thin camera body yields very good image quality; Lens offers f/1.8 aperture; Touch screen display capabilities make this camera easy to use; Mixture of advanced shooting modes and beginner shooting modes

Price may be a little high; measurement is limited to 5X; Inclusion of a hot shoe would have been helpful; Camera's menu structure could use a redesign for better touch screen performance; Wi-Fi feature is difficult to set up and use

Review Canon Powershot S120 Digital Camera You could wonder at my bravado in reviewing this tiddler when all it seems to offer is a digicam with moderate specs and little else. Aah! But look further!

Canon generally releases its S range of premium compact cameras at the same time as it updates the G series, and it's no different this year with the introduction of the Canon PowerShot S120 to replace last year's Canon PowerShot S110

I think this is about our fifth powershot, some have been minor increments over the prior version and some have been bigger leaps. This is one of the bigger leaps forward.

Tons of great features but the real stand out is the low light performance; This is the best low light camera I've ever used by a wide margin

None

The Canon PowerShot S120 packs a next-gen processor that's 50% faster

Small yet solid; Touchscreen LCD; Top pic quality for its size

Pricey; No handgrip; No viewfinder

Like Sony with its newest cameras for 2014, Canon is also focusing on speed when it comes to its latest device. It's claiming a new Digic 6 processor makes the 12.1 megapixel, 5x optical zoom Canon PowerShot S120 compact some 50% faster than its S110 predecessor.

Solid feel high quality construction despite the pocket proportions; touch screen control; customisable lens ring function will appeal to those who love getting hands on with camera operation

The asking price here would alternatively buy a cheap DSLR; lacks a handgrip; omits an eye level viewfinder
