Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon Sure Shot Classic 120 Caption makes high-performance photography simple and affordable. The powerful 28-120mm zoom lens and built-in retractable flash with red-eye reduction cover a variety of shooting situations. A sophisticated three-point dual hybrid autofocus system switches between active AF and passive AF according to the shooting conditions, ensuring that subjects are in focus regardless of shooting distance.

The Sure Shot Classic 120 Caption has personal mode settings so you can customize the camera to perform certain functions, including flash and AF selection. When the personal mode is selected, these functions are activated. Other advanced features include exposure compensation to avoid under- or overexposure in difficult lighting conditions. For faster-moving subjects, a faster film advance of up to 1.5 frames per second is available.

The Sure Shot Classic 120 Caption's retro appearance, with aluminum front cover and metallic lens barrel, is both eye- catching and durable.

Great little camera!.......2003-12-25

This camera is loaded with features, but still easy to use. My Mom is a professional photographer and proclaimed this the best point and shoot ever. Bought one for herself, for me and my brother as well! She especially likes that it has sports/action capabilities. I have fun using the captions now and then (they are optional, so you can turn them off completely if you don't want them). It's nice and compact. Most importantly, it takes beautiful pictures!

One great little camera.......2003-01-06

Canon's Sure Shot Classic 120 series continues the Canon tradition of pushing the technology envelope further ahead. New and improved features include a powerful 38-120mm built-in zoom lens with aspherical optics, a 7-mode Best-Shot Dial for convenient and automatic camera settings, a 3-point dual hybrid autofocus system, built-in dioptric viewfinder adjustment control, and a high-efficiency built-in Light Guide flash.

Canon's state-of-the-art Sure Shot Classic 120 gives you all the control you need to take perfect pictures with ease. With seven different selections on the Best Shot Dial you can pick the setting you need for a perfect shot every time. And if you're looking for a camera to keep up with all the action of fast-moving subjects, this is it - thanks to its rapid zoom, Real Time Shutter Release (0.06 sec), 1.5 frames per second and AI Servo AF features. The Sure Shot Classic 120 is a major achievement in camera technology- its big ideas come in a very small package!

* Ultra-Compact Design: The Sure Shot Classic 120 is significantly more compact that most other cameras in its class. And its light weight (approx. 9 oz. w/o battery) makes it easy to carry anywhere, anytime, so there's never a reason to be without a camera.
* High-Quality, "Retro" Appearance: An aluminum front cover and metallic lens barrel give the new Classic 120 a look and feel of quality and classic elegance.
* 38-120mm f/4.5-10.9 3.2x Zoom Lens: The Sure Shot Classic 120's powerful all-glass zoom lens uses high-refraction glass and aspherical optics for greater contrast and image quality. Its extended zoom range covers a wide variety of shooting situations from landscapes and group shots to portraits, candids and distant subjects. The camera's real-image zoom viewfinder features a built-in dioptric adjustment for sharp viewing with or without eyeglasses.
* Hybrid 3-Point AF System: This advanced 335-step autofocus system automatically switches between Active Mode for near subjects and Passive Mode for distant objects, providing accurate distance measurements for every situation. The 3-point capability means that the Sure Shot Classic 120 will recognize and focus your subject even when it is slightly off-center. Central, single-point AF is also available at the touch of a button.
* Powerful Built-in Light Guide Flash: Canon technology has resulted in a new acrylic "light guide" design for the camera's retractable built-in flash unit to eliminate hot spots and improve evenness of illumination while maximizing lighting efficiency. Seven flash settings provide ideal lighting for a wide range of shooting conditions from backlit scenes to nighttime subjects. Optional Red-Eye Reduction improves indoor flash photos of people.
* Best Shot Dial with 7 Shooting Modes: The Sure Shot Classic 120 simplifies the ability to achieve perfect photographs with the use of Canon's original "Best Shot" Dial. Offering seven different shooting modes, the Best Shot dial automatically combines several function settings to render ideal camera settings for specific types of shooting conditions and subject matter. A new "Personal Mode" allows users to register their own favorite settings for AF, metering, flash and film transport.
* The Sure Shot Classic 120 Caption has all the features of the standard model plus five personal greetings and time-date imprinting, so you can label your pictures while you shoot. The optional Remote Controller RC-5 puts you in the picture from up to 16 feet away. More relaxing than an ordinary self-timer, the Remote lets you choose the precise moment to release the shutter. Now, there's no need to rush.

Very pleased with this little gem!!!.......2002-09-06

Before I start, I should tell you that I am no "pro" when it comes to cameras or photography. I have been taking "basic" pictures with "basic" cameras for about 20 years now...nothing fancy just the usual vacation, birthday and some amateur wildlife and landscape-type shots during my travels. Like most people though, I always wanted nice clear pictures with as little "fuss" as possible and up until a few months ago, was served quite well by my trusty Olympus Epic Stylus Zoom 80. It travelled all around the world with me numerous times over the years and took beautiful pictures of everything from icebergs in Antarctica to lions in Zaire! After many years of trouble-free service, my faithful Olympus finally broke down and so I began the task of researching a replacement. Within a month or so I had it narrowed down to three: another Olympus Epic Stylus Zoom 80, a Minolta Explorer EX Zoom (75 mm) and a Canon Sure Shot Classic Zoom 120. After much research (especially reading valuable consumer reviews like the ones listed in here) I determined that one of these three cameras were going to be able to give me what I was after in a simple, inexpensive "point and shoot" zoom camera. Each had their merits and also their detriments according to different people's opinions. The Olympus was the lightest and had the best lens quality, but had consistant problems with the "clam-shell" cover drive mechanism jamming. The Minolta had the best ergonomics and had a wider starting field at 28 mm, but had poor aesthetics. The Canon had the longest zoom at 120 mm and sophisticated personal setting abilities, but had issues regarding an awkward flash location and a difficult battery cover apparatus. All three camera's came in within about $80 of each other and were highly recommended in most editor and consumer reviews I read. I did some "hands-on" research by visiting numerous camera shops to see how each "felt". Most of the salespeople I encountered couldn't tell me much more than what the basic features and specifications were for each of the three cameras. It finally came time to make a decision because I had a vacation to the picturesque province of Newfoundland in eastern Canada coming up. I liked each of the cameras, but I finally decided on the Canon for the following reasons: firstly, I felt confident in the overall quality of the "brand". Canon makes good solid cameras and they back it up with the longest and most comprehensive warranty of the bunch (5 years). Secondly, I knew from all the reviews I had read that "regular people" like me found the camera easy to use and took awesome pictures using all of the numerous settings on the camera. Thirdly, I found the Canon to be the best priced (albeit I purchased the camera at a clearance price about $100.00 below MSRP). Finally, the shop I bought it from gave me a 30 day money-back guarantee...no questions asked! They also threw in a roll of ISO 400 and a roll of ISO 800 Fuji film with free processing for me!
OK, so let's "cut-to-the-chase" and talk about the picture quality. In a word.........AMAZING!!! I've had the camera for about 6 months now and have shot about 30 rolls of film, and I couldn't be happier! The pictures are crisp, vibrant and true! I have tried using all of the different settings and have not been disappointed with any of them. "Auto" takes the best overall pictures and everything is pre-set for that "no fuss" thing I was talking about earlier. The "action", "night-time", "portrait" and "close-up" settings are also pre-set for near perfect pictures each and every time! Granted, the "Personal" and "Spot" settings require a bit of practice but they work like a charm once you've grasped the concept. The zoom abilities are very powerful (although I would suggest a tripod to avoid shaky shots when using the full 120 mm zoom) and the adjustable diopter at the viewfinder is a handy feature for people like me who where glasses! Red-eye works very effectively, the film is always easy to load and I love the "retro" styling of the camera.
I'd like to address the two most common complaints that I had read about from other people's reviews with the flash location and the battery cover. I have easily trained my hands (and fingers) to work around the flash location and I don't even give it a second thought now, and the strap that comes with the camera has a small rubber device on it to easily remove and then re-attach the battery cover (read your manual's guys!!!!).
In closing, I would highly recommend this little gem of a camera! My trusty old Olympus camera rests in peace knowing that my new Canon camera is doing such a great job!

Disappointed with this camera.......2002-01-22

I got this camera and from the very beginning had problems. While outdoor shots looked great, indoor shots were often blurry, even with the flash, especially when zoomed out. Also, I noticed the red-eye reduction didn't work very well. Instead of flashing a bright "strobe", it lights a solid light at the subject. Due to the blurry photos, I experimented with different types and speeds of film but that didn't help. Then my photos started having light streaks on them. I discovered the back panel wasn't closing properly. I exchanged the camera for the Olympus Stylus Zoom 140. What a huge difference! No blurry photos, red-eye works much better. To test the Olympus, I re-took some photos with it that didn't come out with the Canon (i.e. dim indoor pool and gymnasium shots, partially & fully zoomed) and got back some great pictures, which were always blurry unless taken up close with the Sure Shot 120 Caption. I would highly recommend the Olympus over the Canon. Some people have written good reviews on this Canon, so maybe mine was defective and took bad photos. My best advice would be to buy from a store with a good return policy and test whatever camera you buy in all lighting situations right away.

Teething problems but great P&S camera.......2001-12-26

After much deliberation over many conmpact zooms in this price range I settled on the Sureshot. Out of the box it looks and feels great - lovely solid retro design - although the pop out flash was a bit annoying and the battery flap is a bit weak. I took loads of shots in Amsterdam and on the west coast of Ireland and waited eagerly for the photos. To my horror every single shot had a fine white line about a third of the way up the image. Ironically and frustratingly apart from this the photos were superb - excellent colour and sharply focussed. I took the camera back to the shop where they had it repaired (taking 3 weeks!) and the defect was removed. I have to say I have been very pleased with my photos since. For this price range the images look like they've been shot from an SLR. No hassle, guaranteed quality shots every time. What more do you want?

Waste of money.......2007-06-08

I purchased this product to upgrade my DELL Dimension 4700 computer. It didn't fit! Product should have included information as to which computers it would fit into, with out additional components being required first!

Good Buy.......2007-05-10

Had no problem installing the drive. I did have an issue with the P.C. seeing the drive, but I beleve that was a Windows Vista issue, and not the drive's. Once formatted, I have had no issues with it.

Maxtor Hard Drive.......2007-04-19

I've had this drive for a month now and everything is working fine. The installation was easy with no problems. It can be noisy when it's warming up, but not a big deal for me.

Solid Hard Drive Product.......2007-01-10

If you are looking to upgrade you old hard drive then consider the Maxtor L01R300. It is very quiet, fast, and easy to install. The 16MB cache is an nice improvement over the old drive it replaced. After 3 weeks of use everything is perfect.

Not Perfect Copy.......2006-09-05

I bought this thinking I would not need to re-load a bunch of software and it did save me from loading or reloading much of it. After I did a clone copy, I did have to re-load Outlook for my email and I did have to re-load my Roxio Movie Creater software. XP seems to be working fine. Not much help from the 800 number. This drive is fast and you get 93% of the advertized storage space. The other 7% goes to the indexes.
