Canon PowerShot S120 prices and specs
The PowerShot S120 was released on Aug 22, 2013. For now the lowest price for the camera is 539.99
The PowerShot S120 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Canon PowerShot S120 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't shoot photographs of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The PowerShot S120 can make photos at 12 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/1.7' (7.44 x 5.58 mm) sensor which means that the model will make photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot S120 is small. But if you want to make photos of the professional quality check Canon EOS-1D X Mark II.
The Canon PowerShot S120 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for shooting action photos of a very good quality. The Canon PowerShot S120 shoots perfect videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner can't switch it. The lens has satisfactory 5x optical zoom.
Also this device has Wi-Fi which means that the PowerShot S120 owner can use the phone or tablet for remote control for example. The PowerShot S120 battery life will be enough to shoot approximately 230 photos.
