Canon Powershot SX120 IS Digital Camera - Refurbished

2012-04-04T21:00:00

I don't understand how my PS A65 and my PS A80, both much older cameras, took better, crisper, clearer photos. I was in awe of the image stabilization on these two cameras - especially the A80. I couldn't believe I could take photos of my nieces and nephew and it caught them at a dead stop almost every shot. But I don't see this same awesomeness from this camera or from the 130 (My sister recieved the latter as a gift). The LCD isn't even as clear. Maybe that's the constant focusing. But it always appears out of focus. The reason I give a con to the "No viewfinder" is because the LCD screen on my A60 just died - it will no longer display while taking photos, it will show the photo once it's been taken though, I have no idea what that's about. But, without a viewfinder, my A60 would be almost useless. The reason I upgraded to this one, when I still had working working Canons was due to the lure of the 10x zoom and it was a Dave's Pick. But all in all I'm sorry I purchased this camera. And I can't understand how it gets such great reviews when I have two older cameras that take better pictures - why is that?

Bought this camera because of the 10x lens but the lens is not sharp. a lot of color frings on edges. older A530 takes better pictures. very disapointed with this camera.

Works great for action photos when the dial is set to P {Program} then going into the menu and turning on continuous auto focus, it will use up the bat quicker because the camera is always focusing, no more waiting for it to focus befor taking the shot.

I carry this camera everywhere. I especially love taking nature photos and get great results especially in low light wooded areas. Pictures are crisp and the colors are clean and true. Love it!

Compact and light weight, bought it to take to family reunion. Large LCD will allow camera to be passed around and viewed by other family members.

Got this camera a few weeks ago and love it. The zoom is the best you can get in this price range, which I look forward to taking advantage of at upcoming baseball games in the summer. Have used the camera to take some great shots on some hikes as well as nightlife, with limited indoor lighting. Upgrading from a much more basic digital camera that was around 5 years old, I was initially intimidated by the amount of functions, however with a little playing around everything seems to makes sense. Also love the compact-ness of the camera.
