God, the SX120 is slow
I wanted a pocket cam to carry around when I'm too lazy to bring the XSi
(something a bit better than the A720, but with a bit better pics), so I picked up a Canon SX120. It seems to take relatively good shots, but God is it slow. I'm not exactly a fast shooter, still, even I have to wait for that 6++ seconds recycling time while the flash powers up. Also, I'm not all that impressed with the controls. It's going to take a while to work out a way to use that silly thumb wheel. But, it's a challenge... Take Care, Dudley |

Of course, that's where I'd want to use it. On the bright side, for pics that won't get printed large, the ISO 3200 mode seems to give better results than popping up the flash with a slower ISO...
