Canon announced the PowerShot SX120 IS, a high quality, easy-to-use digital compact camera with 10 megapixels, 10x optical zoom, 3 inch LCD and Smart Auto Mode. The new camera builds on the success of its predecessor, the PowerShot SX110 IS.

The SX120 IS comes with the latest Face Detection Technology which recognizes up to 35 faces in a frame, and also makes includes Auto Red-Eye Correction, Face Select & Track, and Face Self-Timer.
More experienced users can choose their settings in Aperture and Shutter Priority Modes. A full manual control mode is also provided.
For sharp results, the PowerShot SX120 IS features technologies that reduce camera shake and image blur: Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer (IS), ISO Auto and Motion Detection Technology.
Camera Reviews:
Photoreview.com.au:
This is an affordable long-zoom digicam with plenty of adjustable controls and image stabilization. But be prepared to use a tripod when shooting in low light levels and prepared to use sensitivity settings below ISO 400.

If picture quality is the main buying point for you then you are likely to be very impressed with this camera. Add in the manual exposure controls and it is hard to find a better camera of its type.

Overall the SX120 is a great little camera that provides good value for money, and would be a great pick for the photographer on a budget who wants to point and shoot and shoot creatively.

If you don’t currently own an SX110, and you’re looking for a camera with great optics, excellent image quality, full manual control, and a reasonable price tag, then the SX120 IS is a no-brainer.

The Canon PowerShot SX120 is a cheap and more than cheerful super-zoom that delivers consistently good results, although slightly more expensive rivals do offer more bang for your buck.
