I have the S110 and S100. First, be careful of impeding the flash opening. It's automatic and if hold the camera with 2 hands your fingers cover the rising flash. Eventually it will stop working. That's why I bought the S100. $60 like new on ebay. Can't beat that. The S120 was substantially more and not a great jump in quality. Love them both. I still can't trade up as anything in the same size category is too expensive and for my uses not worth it. You won't be sorry. These are/were class leading at the time and can still compete in their areas of compact cameras with pro features. Won't be parting with mine soon.

The S120 does not have the automatic popup flash which was one of the reasons I bought it to replace my S100. Another main reason was the ability to disable the touchscreen function, I want to have a clear screen with no greasy smudges on it, the screen is also the viewfinder.

I had my S120 stolen last September, after looking at the new cameras available I came to the conclusion there was nothing that I constdered more attractive than the S120 and bought a mint used one off ebay for £152 inluding postage.
