What owners like
Canon PowerShot S120 works best when you want a premium compact pocket camera with more control and a stronger lens than basic compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its CCD sensor (inferred from Canon compact era) and 35mm film equivalent: 24 (W) are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
