any1 like me is waiting to see the spec of S120? based on the past announced dates for the past S models (see below), it shld b announced soon! :D
almost quite certain that it will use the latest Digic 6 processor n it provides even better low lighter performance.

my wish list r:
faster len (eg. f1.8), especially when zoom is used
bigger sensor
higher frame rate for the full hd video
slimmer n lighter! :s12:

S90 2009-08-19
S95 2010-08-19
S100 2011-09-15
S110 2012-09-17
S120 2013-08-22

Hope the new model will be a real step up in image quality unlike the previous few generations. If it is a minor touch up again it might not stand a chance against other competitors. I hope it can be close to rx100 quality at a reasonable price.

I hope it will have built in GPS :D

they have it in s100 but remove in s110. This 1 really unknown. but i rather they improve the image quality and keeping the form size than any fancy feature. following the trend of other brands, it will most likely have nfc and wifi which you can get gps from your phone.

hopefully, a new n bigger size of sensor is introduced. i m more than happy if the new one is half the size of G1X's 1.5".
at 0.75", it will still b 28%(!!) bigger than S100/S110's n a step closer to RX100's 1" but remain distance frm the price of 1".

oh, it's available frm Oct (US).
interestingly, there is a "new Background Defocus mode allows users to soften the background of their images for a portraiture look.". :D

my S90 still serving me really well ^^
i had S90 b4 changing to the current S100, the main down side of S90 is the not-useable slow continuous shooting. if this is not a problem, i guess S90 is fine when compare to S100/S110.

i think the main draw for the S120 will be the f1.8 aperture.

The optical zoom has been upped as well

a preview: Canon S120 Review: Preview
it seems to include other new things such as "new image sensor, brighter lens, faster DIGIC 6 image processor, higher-res LCD, refined Wi-Fi feature set, new battery pack, and slightly better battery life. ... a brand new body with a dual-textured front panel, and a slightly smaller rear thumb grip."
