| Description : | For perfect portraits, the PowerShot SX120 IS features Canon Face Detection Technology. Face Select & Track lets you select a particular face as the principal subject in a photo, while FaceSelf-Timer makes group photos easy – taking a shot after an extra face enters the frame. The PowerShot SX120 IS combats blur with Motion Detection Technology, which uses several advanced methods to determine camera and subject movement. ISO settings are then adjusted for optimum results. In shooting or playback, enhanced i-Contrast optimises dynamic range according to the scene- retaining detail in shadows and preventing overexposure of highlights. The result is natural images with the best possible contrast. 20 dedicated shooting modes help you to achieve superb shots in a wide variety of lighting conditions. For more experienced users seeking greater creative control, a Full Manual control mode is included. Supplement still shots by shooting fantastic VGA quality movie clips with sound. A special Long Play option uses around half the normal memory card space, allowing you to shoot for longer. |

| Marketing : | The compact, easy-to-use PowerShot SX120 IS uses a 10.0 Megapixel sensor – capturing enough detail for poster-size prints or creative cropping. With a 10x optical zoom, it’s easy to fill the frame with a distant subject. Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer counteracts the effect of camera shake, ensuring crisp blur-free results throughout the zoom range. Designed to let everyone take great shots, Smart Auto mode analyses subject brightness, contrast, distance and hue. Intelligent Scene Detection Technology then selects the scene type from 18 variables, applying the best settings for optimum output. Easy mode deactivates all buttons except flash and reduces on-screen icons, for fuss-free, simple shooting. A clear and bright 3.0” LCD screen with wide viewing angle makes framing and reviewing shots a pleasure. |

Canon has always associated itself with imaging and optical products, Canon has a wide portfolio that includes cameras, photocopiers, steppers and printers. Canon's predecessor Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory founded Canon Inc. in 1937. Canon went on to create the world's first camcorder with zoom lens in 1959. Canon celebrated its 50th anniversary in Europe to mark its long history of technological advancements in the imaging industry. Canon was originally named Kwanon back in 1934 with a prototype for Japan's first ever 35mm camera sporting a focal plane shutter. Today Canon is actively involved in the world of imaging - creating high quality products including their array of digital IXUS, Powershot digital cameras and HD camcorders.
