Canon's advanced Face Detection Technology keeps every face in focus. Intelligent Contrast Correction, Red-eye Correction, and the latest focus-tracking technology deliver consistent sharpness and natural skin tones.


Optical Image Stabilization
Canon's optical image stabilizer counteracts camera shake caused by unwanted movement. Vibration sensors detect the angle and speed of hand movement and send this information to the processor, allowing the camera to compensate. This adds stability to hand-held, telephoto and moving shots and enables steady shooting speeds without the use of a tripod.

AA-size Battery Convenience
Never worry about running out of battery power again. The SX120 IS is powered by standard AA-size batteries. Purchase new batteries wherever your travels take you - no need for chargers or international power adapters.
