The PowerShot SX120 is the big winner in terms of price: at $250, it is about half the price of the G11. But the SX120 was no slouch, scoring nearly equal or better than the G11 in our tests of noise, color and image stabilization. The G11 had the edge in our resolution tests, though, because the images remained sharp across the zoom range, while the images captured by the SX120 at the longer zoom settings were a little soft. It is worth noting that the SX120 has a longer zoom lens, though, going out to 10x rather than the 5x of the G11.
