Canon PowerShot SX120 IS prices and specs
The PowerShot SX120 IS was released on Aug 19, 2009. For now the lowest price for the device is 317.60.
The PowerShot SX120 IS is a point and shoot camera. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The PowerShot SX120 IS has various automatic modes but you won't shoot photos of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Canon PowerShot SX120 IS can make pictures at 10 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the camera will make pictures with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot SX120 IS is small. And if you want to take pictures of the best quality check Nikon D5.
The PowerShot SX120 IS has max shutter speed of 1/2500 sec. It is an average shutter speed that will be enough for taking action pictures of a very good quality. The Canon PowerShot SX120 IS can even record videos but the max resolution is not very good - 640 x 480 (30 fps).
The lens is built into the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS and the camera owner won't be able to switch it. The lens has amazing 10x optical zoom.
