Utilizing a sophisticated light-capturing design, it provides high sensitivity for improved high ISO capture with reduced noise. It is capable of rapidly capturing and moving image data to the processor, enabling faster continuous shooting and faster autofocus. Canon DIGIC 6 image processor The PowerShot S120 camera is equipped with the Canon proprietary processor, the DIGIC 6 image processor, which makes several important advancements to image quality both in stills and video. Improved light sensitivity allows for higher resolution with less noise when shooting in dark conditions, and dynamic IS now detects and compensates for tilt and parallel movement (shift blur) to create video that's exceptionally free of distortion. The DIGIC 6 image processor also enhances the performance capabilities of the PowerShot S120, powering full resolution high-speed continuous stills shooting. And video recording is better than ever, as the DIGIC 6 image processor enables Full HD at 60p, as well as MP4 recording. Highly compressed MP4 video not only preserves space on your memory card but also improves playback on mobile devices. Canon HS SYSTEM for exceptional low-light performance The PowerShot S120 camera gives you the power to create images with spectacular depth, detail and emotional resonance. With the Canon HS SYSTEM, you'll experience excellent tracking performance even in low light, beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you use higher shutter speeds to capture clearer images with reduced noise and blur in a variety of situations for incredible photos and videos. 1080p/60p Full HD video With the camera's advanced DIGIC 6 image processor enabling MP4 format recording, the PowerShot S120 camera lets you shoot video at a selectable frame rate of 60 fps or 30 fps (or 15 fps in Star Time-Lapse Movie mode). 1080p/60p Full HD video is extraordinarily smooth and rich in playback, ensuring that your important memories and creative film clips look their absolute best. A bright f/1.8 lens with 5x optical zoom and wide angle of view The 24mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens achieves f/1.8 - f/5.7, giving the user exceptional versatility. The large f/1.8 aperture achieves shallow depth-of-field for creating portraits with beautiful, soft background blur, and incomparable Canon optical technology delivers a high performance lens enabling incredible images, even in low light. The wide-angle lens gives your images a distinctive sweep and grandeur, capturing landscapes, cityscapes, tall buildings and wide groups of people with ease. Full resolution continuous shooting and high speed AF Shooting and processing are now performed in tandem. With no separate mode setting and no reduction in image quality, you can freeze brilliant action shots with ease. Capacitive 3.0-inch touch panel LCD with a sharp, clear display and easy operation Anyone familiar with today's touch screens will feel comfortable using the PowerShot S120 camera right away. The big 3.0-inch capacitive touch panel LCD responds to familiar one- and two-finger touch operations. Users can spread and pinch to change the magnification in playback, drag two fingers to switch display, use the easy interactive Touch Shutter, and quickly select camera settings. You can even adjust the panel's touch sensitivity to your liking. The camera's sophisticated control ring, located at the base of the lens barrel, can be used in conjunction with the touch panel to conveniently access a range of additional actions. Plus, an impressive 922,000 dots of resolution allow you to review your images in crisp, clear quality. Star shooting modes Starry skies were formerly out of reach to all but experienced SLR camera users, but star shooting modes on the PowerShot S120 camera make these wonderfully impressive images accessible to all. With just a tripod and simple settings, you can capture exquisite star nightscapes, star trails, and star time-lapse movies. The modes can be performed fully automatic or with manual controls for extra versatility. Background Defocus mode Professionals emphasize subjects by creating beautiful background blur with a wide aperture lens. The PowerShot S120 camera lets you achieve this effect digitally with Background Defocus mode, even in scenes with noisy backgrounds or backlighting. Choose AUTO, or take more creative control over the degree of the effect with Low, Medium and High settings to imbue regular snapshots with the soft, pleasing background found in classic portraits. Intelligent IS automatically chooses from six different modes to optimize image stabilization for the shooting condition It's easy to capture clear, steady images with the PowerShot S120 camera, even in low light without using a tripod. That's because the camera is equipped with Canon's innovative intelligent IS. The system analyzes camera movement and applies the best shake correction method for the shooting situation - allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your shot. High Dynamic Range scene mode Shooting in high contrast environments can often result in photos with overexposed and underexposed sections. To tackle this problem, Canon developed the High Dynamic Range shooting mode to make shooting even more intuitive. Under High Dynamic Range the camera will shoot three different exposures in succession (underexposed, overexposed and normal) and then merge them into a single image. Underexposed areas are combined with the overexposed and vice versa, resulting in an evenly detailed image with flattering shadows and highlights.

I love this camera. It has a great list of features and I've used almost every one of them for some specific shots. My ONLY wish was for a longer zoom 12-20x would be ideal. I actually prefer the S120 over my tecently purchased SX720HS. The S120 has so MANY more features (programmable ring/button, touch screen, touch focus, more creative effects etc), just lacks the zoom. I sincerely hope Canon produces a worthy successor to the S120.

I bought this camera because of its excellent lens and compact size. What I didn't realize was its incredible complexity. To use the dozen features I'm interested in, I have to choose between controls with labels like "ring func", "func set" and "menu" and the unlabeled control ring, mode dial and control dial. Could anyone have come up with a more complicated array? I've made my own "cheat sheet" that I carry in the camera case. I would call this a "ponder-and-shoot camera."

I used a S100 for several years and in several foreign countries. The new S120 had many improvements and seemed to be same great little camera. Unfortunately, after purchasing the S120 I discovered it did not have the GPS feature like the S100 did. Rather disappointing for an otherwise good little camera.

Lots have experienced the battery drain issue, the battery will drain completely after just a few minutes of HD video recording. Use a thin strip of tape to cover the middle battery contact before inserting into the camera. Charge without the strip. This will not drain the battery and you can record videos as expected. This camera takes amazing photos, I replaced an S100 that also took great photos, the S120 just is a lot quicker. The features, speed, size, and construction are all fantastic. Although an annoying fix, now with the battery/video issue solved, very happy. The video image stabilization is also amazing. It's not my primary video camera, but nice to have the option now. I used a tape strip that is about 1" long so it overlaps each side of the battery to not fall off in the battery compartment. I keep spare strips taped to the charger on trips.

This camera works just fine. I don't have a real issue with the battery life as others mention. But I have a MAJOR problem transferring photos. I am a tech savvy 24 year old and find it nearly impossible to transfer photos from my camera to either my cellphone or my computer. I have successfully transferred photos once or twice, but ever since, it continues to NOT function. It is pretty frustrating. This is an expensive camera. To not include access to a properly functioning app or a USB cord to ACTUALLY transfer photos is a serious screw up.
