For some weeks now I have the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS – I use it as a “travel” my real camera is a EOS 450 D. There is, of course spoil anything. The results of the shots with the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS can be seen, however. The following points are noteworthy:
Positive:
- Good image stabilizer
- Noise behavior ok
- Good, fast autofocus
- Image quality prima
- Macro shots are great
- Programs can be partially “fine-tuning”
- Flash output adjustable
- Face
- Multi-pattern and spot metering (meter)
- Right after turning quick to
- Time ok
- SD card is available
- Very high aperture lens (1:2,8)
- Nice, large display (3”), brightness adjustable
- Intuitive, even for beginners
- Many more features, including fully manual (see test images)
- Fast, direct functions and settings with the continuously variable Einstellr?dchen possible (including playback of photos)
Negative:
- Very difficult
- No longer intact (not compact for the pocket suitable)
- Automatic lead m. E. too easily overexposed images (corrected)
- No real wide angle
- Standard batteries offer only short-term fun with the camera (20 photos after the symbol for weak batteries can have time to flash) – better (full!) Use charged battery
- Videos are only available in VGA mode, not HD)
Conclusion:
Nice camera for beginners and people, which is a bridge camera too big. Except for the energy problem, Canon PowerShot SX120 IS is already a good companion for the road.
