An ultra-compact low-cost-class camera that stands out primarily for its abundance of scene programs (16 in total, including panoramas and colour accentuation), as well as the ability to shoot HD video (1280x720) and output it to an external screen via an HDMI port. Also worth noting is optical image stabilization. The rest of the features are pretty traditional. So, the matrix has a size of 1 / 2.3 "with a resolution of 12 megapixels and sensitivity up to ISO 1600. The lens magnification is 4x. The display is a modest 2.7". Power is supplied from the battery.

Does a full frame make a difference? Is it worth buying a full-frame camera?Do I need to spend money on an expensive full frame or is it better to buy a cropped camera?..

From the press release:

Super slim and exquisite
The 120 IS is Canon's thinnest, most powerful and elegant wide-angle digital IXUS camera. Small and ergonomic, it fits easily into your pocket and purse. At any moment, you can take it out and take a great picture, using all the advantages of a wide-angle lens with a focal length of 28 mm, a 4x zoom and a 12.1-megapixel sensor. Photos can be viewed comfortably on the bright 2.7-inch PureColor LCD II.

The Digital IXUS 120 IS features Smart Auto with Scene Detection for fast image quality. The camera menu is also equipped with a system of hints that explain the meaning of various settings. Blink detection is another useful feature. It immediately warns you that someone in the frame has closed their eyes, and you can immediately retake the picture.

The model is available in four exquisite shades - black, blue, brown and silver. The camera has never been so simple and stylish!

Record videos to share memories
The new Digital IXUS line of cameras, along with photography, are capable of recording high-definition video (720 pixels). You can capture a party, a sports game, or a trip to exotic places to keep all your memories.
