Anyone using the S120?

Fair enough

Contrarian really is a fitting name.

Fair enough. I have my faults, but lack of self-awareness is not a major one. FWIW, my approach to DPR is that providing helpful, accurate information is most important--but it's also important to say so where I think inaccurate information was provided.

And there is a personal-to-me interest here: the search for the elusive pocketable, high-quality, inexpensive camera. My current S110 is fairly satisfactory. The S120 has some worthwhile upgrades, but I have a hard time pulling the trigger at current prices. The G9X and G7X at least often have soft lenses. The Sony RX100 series are all a bit thick for good pocketability, did not get a 24mm equivalent lens until the Mk. III, and did not get a touchscreen until the Mk. VI, which puts all of those, even used, into a different price category.
