The images from the camera are generally good, although there is a tendency to over-expose low contrast subjects and the under-expose those in brighter light. Resolution and focus sharpness are excellent with very fine detail preserved and no worrying ...
The LCD is a poor affair, giving only an approximate review of the captured image. Fortunately the image that appears on the computer monitor or in print is much better than the LCD would lead us to expect. Flash performance is poor with weak illuminat...
The little Canon can take good pictures, but the poor flash performance means it is no party camera. The lens and the image processing are good, but the user experience leaves something to be desired because of the LCD. The 28mm wide angle end of the z...
Attractive design, excellent image quality, 720p movie mode, reliable Smart Auto mode
Scant manual modes, casing could be a little more scratch resistant
With the exception of its premium price tag, the Canon IXUS 120 IS compact digital camera is pretty hard to fault. It looks amazing and is capable of taking some breathtaking photos. What’s more, it will fit in practically any pocket. ...
One of the best looking cameras in its class , Great image quality , HD video recording
No zoom during movie mode , So-so performance
This is a great little compact camera equipped with pretty much everything you could ask for, like HD video and a stylish body, so we've awarded it our ...
Abstract: Touted as the slimmest ever wide-angle Ixus and almost credit-card sized, the new Ixus 120 IS comes in four stylish colours (black, blue, brown and silver) and boasts a CCD imager with 12.1 megapixels (effective) and a wide-angle 4x optical zoom lens...
If this camera was a Christmas present, then well done, you've got yourself something akin to the perfect point and click. They don't come much better than this, and there are plenty out there that are worse. Sadly, if you're paying for this camera you...
If you've been considering the SD780 IS, we'd pick the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS instead. It has the same great looks, the same quality performance, and a step up in specs that make it one of the best ultracompact point-and-shoots we've seen in...
Abstract: When you're buying a status symbol, the brand name is all important. You want people to know that you can afford what they think is the best, so you'll choose the famous names that everyone recognises. If you're buying a camera as a status symbol the labe...
Abstract: Another in the range from Canon of their superb Ixus Digital Cameras. If anything I think this one is even smaller, but, this does not mean the image quality suffers in any way. This unit is an amazing 12.1MP and gives superb images....
Slimline styling and build, HD video, image quality at lower sensitivity, 4x optical zoom lens, Face detection AF
Controls are a little fiddly, price, underpowered flash, high ISO image noise, no optical viewfinder, metering, slight pixel fringing
The IXUS 120 IS is the slimmest wide-angle compact digital camera to appear in the shops so far and at just 20mm thin, it boasts 12-megapixel resolution and is capable of shooting 720p HD video and has image stabilisation to boot. Its compact design is...
