The Canon Powershot SX120 IS gives you extra zoom power without a larger, bulky body size. As well as the 10x zoom on offer there is also a 10 megapixel sensor. Extra zoom becomes available when shooting at lower resolutions. The Powershot SX120 IS comes in a black finish. Although not exactly pocket sized it is much more compact than larger models offering even more zoom power.
There are a number of advanced features available for the more experienced photographer. These include manual exposure, aperture priority and shutter priority. There is a manual focusing mode as well. For the more casual photographer there are fully automatic and easy modes. This makes the Powershot SX120 IS a good choice for anyone who is simply looking for some extra zoom, but would like point and shoot simplicity.
Canon has included image stabilisation to help keep any picture blur to a minimum. For composing photos there is a 3 inch LCD screen. There is also a standard definition movie mode. If you are interested in close up photography, the Powershot SX120 IS is able to focus from 1cm away from the subject in macro mode.
Power is supplied to the Powershot SX120 by two AA batteries.
