I was tempted to rate this camera two stars because I felt duped when I discovered that I could not use the camera the way I had intended to, but it's such a good camera otherwise that it gets 4 stars.There are many good reviews of this camera, so I will keep this short and to the point. I photograph mainly in low light conditions and at night. I purchased this camera to have a better quality "always with me" camera than my phone for when I didn't want to drag around a DSLR. For this purpose, and for macro shots, this camera excels. It makes a great, unobtrusive travel camera.High ISO performance is excellent, and images are printable to 1600, which is a big improvement over older G series models. This high ISO performance was the reason I purchased the camera. While it has no bulb setting, I figured that the combination of ISO 800-1600 plus the 15 second maximum exposure would allow me to photograph in most conditions excepting moonlit landscapes. What neither Canon's description nor any of the reviews mention is that once you increase the shutter speed past 1 second, you are locked into 80 ISO! In other words, your exposure should be 2 seconds or longer at 200, 400, 800, 1600? Nope, not going to happen. You are stuck at ISO 80. I understand the image quality degrades with the combination of high ISO and long exposure, but geez Canon, if that's what I want to shoot, let me do it! If you are going to advertise high ISO shooting and 15 second shutter speeds, it would really be nice to know that it's one or the other!I almost returned the camera based on this failing, (which I admit is very specific to my needs) but it performs so well in all other aspects that I decided to keep it. I'm still looking for a compact camera that excels at Night Photography.

This camera was a little more expensive that what I am used to, but it was worth it. The pictures are amazing and it out performs any other camera I've ever had. If I had one thing I would change it would be the zoom. The super zoom cameras are nice to have, but this has normal average zoom capabilities. Occasionally after taking a picture they look blurry on the screen, but when you look at them on the computer they are clear as can be and compete with DSLR camera.

I tried and really liked the Canon S100 and S110. In fact, I got sharper photos from the S110 than from the Sony RX100 when comparing side-by-side, at least in low light. So I was glad to see the S120 go down in price--and purchased it. Photos seem "okay" but are often a little blurry, even after using the flash and a tripod and especially after cropping. At one point, I noticed that the camera was set to "fine" rather than "superfine". Would that account for such a difference? I really did not like the manual flash, but I suppose that resulted from complaints about the automatic pop-up flash from some customers. I will return the S120 and am at a complete loss now as to whether to go back to an older S camera, try the RX100 again although there were some issues with it too, or look at something such as the Fuji XQ1. I refuse to pay the big bucks for the RX100 Mark II. Suggestions that are not derogatory are welcome.

This was a replacement for one of the same model which was recently damaged beyond repair. I have used the Canon A540 for the past six years and have been well satisfied with its performance.

The Canon Power Shot S120 is a great little camera that sacrifices little in exchange for portability. I bought this for my wife to take on a European trip where my Nixon SLR would have been a pain to carry, and her smart phone wouldn't provide comparable quality of photos. Not only does this take beautiful pictures; but it also handles HD video. Transferring pictures is easy to a PC, smart phone or tablet. So she can transfer her pictures and have plenty of space for more photos or video.

I've had this for a number of years now and it is still going strong - producing amazing pictures quickly and easily. I also have a larger and more complex Canon camera but this pocket-sized one is just superb with most of the automatic settings of it's big brother.
And the batteries seem to last forever which is a real bonus. I've always taken a spare set of AA's with me but I've never had to use them.
And the flip screen on the back is such a good idea.
I can't recommend this camera highly enough

For a landscape hiking camera this is a real winner. Perhaps the best out there over-all. Pocketable, built really well, packed with DSLR-like control. I simply set the ISO around 100, the aperture fairly high, and snap away. The results are fantastic. I do virtually no post-processing. Then in the evenings, I’ll raise the ISO and lower the aperture and get amazing lower light stuff without the flash. For icing on the cake, videos are super clear and enjoyable and the darn thing can send images to my iPad!My only gripe is that the battery on this model doesn't last quite as long as some other point and shoots I've used.

Best fitting, best protecting case for any camera ever. Quick to use, multiple strap/belt options and room spare card and batteries. Perfect.

It's easy to be mislead by the marketing hype and glowing reviews, as I was, that this is a high-end general purpose pocket-sized 12 megapixel camera that takes stunning photographs and just happens to also be waterproof. But after evaluating the camera - and very nearly returning it in disappointment - I just want to caution others that this isn't the case.This is a specialty camera for taking passable snapshots underwater and under inclement conditions. Significant concessions in image quality were made to "ruggedize" the camera, and these are apparent even under ideal conditions. This is true of all cameras of this type to date, and this camera is no exception. Shadow and background areas are suffused with noise pixels. Focus is soft, especially in low light. Chromatic aberration (colored fringes) is/are easily visible in areas of high contrast, even when images are reduced in size. Unless your standards are fairly low, I doubt you can get prints larger than 8x10 from the images the camera takes, under ideal outdoor daylight conditions. For pictures taken indoors, there's so much noise, even using the flash, that 5x7 is probably the limit.If you're content to use the camera for what it's made for, it's a lot of fun. It works in the rain. It works under the lawn sprinkler. It works in the pool. It works at the beach. You can prop it up or set it down on wet or snowy or muddy surfaces to stabilize a shot, and just rinse it off later. It can sit in the puddle at the bottom of your kayak between shots. It's certainly adequate for uploading proof of your adventurous nature to Facebook. It has a very nice feature set, although it can be hard to figure out what some things are for, and hard to remember where some settings are located. It takes surprisingly nice video for a pocket-size camera, with zoom available while recording (the sound is mono though.) I actually like that the camera is fairly large - pants pocket size, not shirt pocket size - well suited to large hands, or gloves. It feels very solid. (The strange grip on the left is weird though. I couldn't possibly hold the camera the way the manual shows, but I make do.)If you also want to take tack-sharp pictures, especially indoors, or make big enlargements, or be able to crop the pictures down a lot later, you're going to need a second camera for that. If you don't want two cameras, you need to decide what you want more, and how often you'll benefit from a waterproof camera. If rainproof is all you really need, you might be better off making strategic use of a ziplock bag. (Cut a hole in one side for your hands, and point the camera toward the zipper opening, like a poncho.)If you truly need a rugged waterproof camera, this is a very nice option. If waterproof is just a "sounds-nice-to-have" for you, the image quality may be a big disappointment.

But after evaluating the camera - and very nearly returning it in disappointment - I just want to caution others that this isn't the case.This is a specialty camera for taking passable snapshots underwater and under inclement conditions. Significant concessions in image quality were made to "ruggedize" the camera, and these are apparent even under ideal conditions. This is true of all cameras of this type to date, and this camera is no exception. Shadow and background areas are suffused with noise pixels. Focus is soft, especially in low light. Chromatic aberration (colored fringes) is/are easily visible in areas of high contrast, even when images are reduced in size. Unless your standards are fairly low, I doubt you can get prints larger than 8x10 from the images the camera takes, under ideal outdoor daylight conditions. For pictures taken indoors, there's so much noise, even using the flash, that 5x7 is probably the limit.If you're content to use the camera for what it's made for, it's a lot of fun. It works in the rain. It works under the lawn sprinkler. It works in the pool. It works at the beach. You can prop it up or set it down on wet or snowy or muddy surfaces to stabilize a shot, and just rinse it off later. It can sit in the puddle at the bottom of your kayak between shots. It's certainly adequate for uploading proof of your adventurous nature to Facebook. It has a very nice feature set, although it can be hard to figure out what some things are for, and hard to remember where some settings are located. It takes surprisingly nice video for a pocket-size camera, with zoom available while recording (the sound is mono though.) I actually like that the camera is fairly large - pants pocket size, not shirt pocket size - well suited to large hands, or gloves. It feels very solid. (The strange grip on the left is weird though. I couldn't possibly hold the camera the way the manual shows, but I make do.)If you also want to take tack-sharp pictures, especially indoors, or make big enlargements, or be able to crop the pictures down a lot later, you're going to need a second camera for that. If you don't want two cameras, you need to decide what you want more, and how often you'll benefit from a waterproof camera. If rainproof is all you really need, you might be better off making strategic use of a ziplock bag. (Cut a hole in one side for your hands, and point the camera toward the zipper opening, like a poncho.)If you truly need a rugged waterproof camera, this is a very nice option. If waterproof is just a "sounds-nice-to-have" for you, the image quality may be a big disappointment.
