CANNON S.120 short review

(+)  :

Very very usefull touchcreen like a smartphone ;

for focusing, editing at playback menus, etc.2

(-) :

-  Touchscreen lack of sensitifity, especially for pinzoom motion

-  LCD didn't have turn off setting.

At Power OFF,

when you push PLAYBACK button,

The lens still retrack positon,

LCD will on for view editing photosm

and turn off automtically after 5 minnutes,

or until you press play back button again.

It will Shorten bat live.

All  CANON  S and G serries are same.

-   fhe MACRO modes:

Not HOMOGEN FOCUS area

Images result only FOCUSSED at the CENTRE,

and going to BLURRED (out of FOCUSED) at arround sides to sides.

The COLOUR became dusky  at sides to sides.

Take a bright paper with clossed dark net pattern, and shoot it.

Or a sheet of a bright paper with fully closed small dark fonf size, and shoot it.

The Result like a MINIATUR effect.

Same phenomenon at S.110 and G,16 , but with little area blurred

I make some test for 5 cam for s.120 and some of S.110 and G.16;

and the result are  same.

-    when you continuouse used WI FI MODE,

Bat live (100% full charged) will exhauted below 30 minnutes..

-     FRONT DIAL ROTARY  BUTTON,

not as good and as sleek as S.95  used
