PowerShot SX120 IS Reviews base on Picture Quality
My daughter has enjoyed using my camera for several years, and just recently bought this camera for herself, liking the fact that it is easy to use, but has many manual controls (aperture, exposure, ISO, etc.), which she is eager to learn about. She took it on a family trip this summer and was extremely pleased with the landscape, macro, and wildlife shots she got.
She is particularly pleased with the camera’s macro abilities, as the camera can get to with in .3 inches of an object and take a crisp, focused picture. However, it doesn’t seem to do as well when trying to take macro pictures when it is darker outside.
The size was portable enough to be taken most places, including on several hikes, but is too big to be put in a pants pocket. However, the fact that it is bigger gives it a good heft that helps to steady pictures when not using a tripod. Also, the construction seems very solid, with the exception of the battery cover, which feels a little flimsy at times.
Overall, she has greatly enjoyed the camera for the short time she has had it, and is pleased with the picture quality. –James P. Bowen
PowerShot SX120 IS Reviews base on Easy of Use
Only had camera a short time but so far the camera picture quality and ease of use has been excellent. I bought this SX120IS camera for the 10x Optical zoom which has worked as advertised. –Joann Aach.
PowerShot SX120 IS Reviews base on Battery Life
I would like to start off by saying that I am not a very advanced photographer but I wanted to get a camera that offered more than what the compact point and shoots have to offer. The main feature about this camera (aside from the Canon name which I prefer) is the great optical zoom. I go to alot of sporting events and this camera is great for zooming in and getting clear shots of the action. I am usually sitting relatively far away in the stands but the zoom makes me feel right there. It also has alot of features that you can select from for a particular setting (ie sunset) or you can manually adjust the setting and focus to your liking. I think this is a good feature because right now I am not advanced and generally use the preset selections but if I learn more about photography I can still use this camera to make my own modifications. I like the fact that it takes AA batteries because if you run out of battery life, its easy to replace them on the go. One thing I want to point out, although not a major problem, is that the battery compartment is a bit hard to open. The picture quality is great and what I have come to expect from Canon. Overall, if you are looking for a moderatley small camera that offers the casual photographer great photo quality and gives you a great zoom with some extra features, this is the camera for you. Some people on here that rate cameras expect too much out of their point and shoot….its not an SLR so the photos in all situations are not perfect, but for its class it does a fine job. If you need every little detail to be perfect in any lighting condition, then go for the SLR. –Jeff C. NY.
PowerShot SX120 IS Reviews base on Battery Life
This camera is great! So easy to use and takes great shots. The only problem I have is that the batteries it comes with don’t last very long, and I bought some rechargeable ones, and they don’t last very long either. But I can deal with that. The pictures look very polished and professional. The colors are clear and distinct. I love the zoom! Our last camera had hardly an zoom capabilities so it was something I was determined to have this time and I am not dissappointed. I can sit on my living room couch and take a perfectly clear photo of the leaves turning red on the tops of the trees outside.Amazing. It also takes great micro photos. I got some amazing shots of our garden, some real up close photos. Very happy overall. It is larger than the last camera we had, but with that said we gave up a lot of great features to have portability and it wasn’t worth it at all. It fits in the camera bag we have or in a purse. That’s all that matters. Oh and I also love the screen on the back, it is very large and has a great quality to it. –K. Condie “student mom”
