 Canon PowerShot SX120IS September 5, 2010
Janet R. Jackson (Decatur, Illinois, US)
After much shopping on line and in store, I found the best buy at Amazon and I feel like I have found "the camera" that a 73 yr old Grandma can operate! I may never learn to use all the settings, but already know enough to take good pics of all my Grandkids/Family/Friends. When you get older, all you have are pics!! My older Canon had to be replaced after it fell in the lake (so did I, partially) Buy it, you'll like it. JJ
 Disappointing. September 3, 2010

The problem with this camera is that the lens got stuck. Twice! First time the lens wouldn't come out when the camera was turned on, causing the camera to beep and show a "lens error, restart camera" message, but each time I turned it off and on I got the same message. So I turned it into Canon to get fixed. Second time about 5 months later same thing happened, except the lens got stuck outside and will not go back in. I am extremely disappointed in this.
Great camera, awesome honeymoon photos from Hawaii September 2, 2010

I got the older model of this camera (SX110) for my bridal shower, and after having it for a month I got "lens error" and it just would not work. So I went to the store and tried to exchange, but SX110 was no longer there. They did have the new SX120, so we got that! So far have not had any problems with the dreaded "lens error"!!!
So I've had this camera since October 2009 and really like it. The zoom is amazing. I can't wait to use it at the Lady Gaga concert I'm going to in a couple of weeks, haha. Have used it at baseball games and gotten great shots of the players.
Husband and I used it in Hawaii and we have amazing pictures. I was told by friends that some of our shots look "professional quality." We plan on getting large prints of some of the scenic shots and framing them in our bedroom. The different settings are great, sunset is especially awesome. We used that a lot on our trip. We bought a tripod and used the self timer to take pictures of the two of us together on the beach (it was a secluded beach). Self timer is great. I actually have not read the manual, so I'm sure this camera does a bunch of things that I am not even aware of. I love taking pictures, and would like to learn more about photography in the future. I think this camera will be a lot of fun to learn on.
I wanted a camera that was more durable and better quality than standard point and shoots. I've had cameras in the past that are so little and fragile that they get busted easily. I never had luck with HP or Sony, my mom has Canons and her cameras last and last, so that is why I went with a Canon this time and I think Canon is the best.
One thing...I wish I had had a waterproof digital before going to Hawaii. We had to leave this camera in the room a lot if we were going snorkeling or surfing. We bought a couple of disposable underwater cameras but the pictures got ruined in processing. Tons of awesome photos that we lost, and who knows if we will ever get back to Hawaii again. IF you are going on any kind of tropical or beach vacation, I suggest looking into getting a waterproof digital. I will be buying one (probably the new Canon one) for my next vacation for sure.

This camera is incredible for the price. I bought the SX110IS last year and get complements on my pictures/camera whenever people see it. I just bought two SX120IS for family members and they rave about this camera also. As point and shoot that fits in your purse/pocket, this camera has the best of everything. I am an amateur photographer who appreciates a good camera/great picture quality and this is hands down the camera for me.
The picture quality from Canon is the same if not better than some DSLR models out there. The colors are so vivid and the picture looks like you are actually there. The 10x zoom with 40x digital zoom makes this camera so much better than the base DSLR models. A friend bought the Canon S5 and I could get better pictures because of my ability to zoom that much further. The detail in micro focus photos is very very good and you can see things that you don't even really notice with your eye.
The SD card is wonderful because it is becoming so universal as well as the AA batteries. I bought a 8gig SD card and can get 3,000+ pictures at full resolution on it. I bought a set of 4 rechargeable batteries and am yet to have problems with not having them when I need them, which is what makes the AA more appealing than a battery pack. I get between 200-250 shots with the eneloop batteries I have from Amazon.Sanyo Eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargable Batteries w/ Charger
For the price, picture quality, size, zoom, and universal components this camera has to offer, you cannot beat it.
