Summary: What a FANTASTIC little camera!
Review: I was a bit skeptical at first - I don't know why, maybe because of it's unbelievably tiny size, but I've always relied on Canon for quality cameras. This one hasn't disappointed me one bit!

I can see where it might be a problem for some men, since the tiny size could be completely lost in a large hand. If you need a comparison, this camera is the *exact* size and shape as a pack of cigarettes.

After years of lugging a big camera bag on vacation & to family events, carrying this camera is a huge relief! I added a 64MB compact flash card, and set at the highest resolution (1600x1200), I can take ~65 photos on one card. And the quality is wonderful - I can print an 8x10 (using an Epson Stylus Photo 820) that the average eye would never know was digital.

This camera is also very "user friendly". I'm the type of person who will only resort to reading the manual when all else fails. I've not needed the manual AT ALL with this camera, other than to confirm what I was able to figure out on my own and to make sure I wasn't missing anything (I wasn't).

Some recommended accessories:

1) A spare battery. Using the digital display alot will burn through a battery rather quickly.

2) If you'll be using the higher resolution and/or video capture, get a high-capacity compact flash (64MB recommended).

3) Canon Soft Compact Case PSC 100. It holds the camera, a spare compact flash card and spare battery and still fits right in my purse.

Bottom line: Money well spent for an excellent quality point & shoot digital.

Summary: Powerful, stylish and easy to use - what else can I say?
Review: I will just give a brief technical review based on my experience for non-techy person. Here's the Pro:
- Battery last for 90 mins (about 100 pics with LCD + short review) after 130 charge (from fully discharge).
- LCD refresh rate is excellent
- Flash good until 3m (about 9.8 ft), good for outdoor (very good for camera this size)
- Small size yet has 2x optical zoom & movie capture capability (very good quality) - its so convenient comparing to my other experience using 5 other digicam (I'm a photographer)
- Lots of features (very usefull), too long to be listed here

Contra:
- Charging battery is longer than it's good for
- Flash not promising on indoor environment

Conclusion:
- Best point-and-shoot digicam ever for novice/teenager
- Get 2nd battery ... - its worth [it]
- Use at least 128MB CF to get the most

Summary: s110 digital camera review
Review: This little camera packs a big punch. The picture quality seems better than 2.1MP. There is only one thing i can complain about, and that is the battery which barely lasts at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lights. Camera. Action!
Review: I've had this camera for almost two years and I love it.

It's the perfect first camera for users who are comfortable with technology. There are simpler (and cheaper) cameras for people who are less compfortable with technology.

This one packs the right amount of sophistication in features, and simplicity in usage - and all that in one small little bundle!

It's strong points:
* small.
* light.
* solid (dropped mine a couple of times and its still going strong).
* good zoom.
* good battery life.
* auto-flash - which is so helpful for amateurs like myself who are never sure about how much light is enough.
* some more advanced ones (manual flash, timer, etc.) if you want to experiment and improve your skills.
* comes with software to download and retouch your photos, rendering the process relatively easy.

All in all, this camera and Canon's Powershot line are an excellent choice for most people.

Summary: best for the price
Review: this camera is great for the price. for someone who loves taking leisure pictues, this camera is great. it's small and durable enough to put in your pocket of purse, made with a metal strong casing. this camera is light-weight and easy to use. some other cameras are hard to figure out and not user friendly, this camera is easy to use, you can figure out how to use it in just a few minutes of playing around with it. This camera does a lot, what's the point in spending more on another camera, 2.0megapixels lets you take clear photos up to 5x7 or 8x10, what more do you really honestly need? you'd be wasting your money if you would be buying a digital camera with features you don't even use. This is the more practical camera. It has a great zoom, easy to use and carry around design, great flash. takes wonderful pictures.

Summary: S110 Digital Review
Review: Bottom line is this has been a really good little camera for me. This was my first digital camera and I was really surprised such good picture quality could come from such a small camera. I print photo quality 8x10s all the time. Favorite features are: (1) Size - fits is my shirt/pants pocket (2) Picture Quality (3) Styling - always get complements when I whip it out.

My dislikes: (1) Shutter lag - I have kids who never sit still for pics so I've missed many good photo ops (2) Menu - I find navigating through the menu isn't difficult, but it could be quicker (3) Movie Mode - I don't think the quality & duration of the movie mode is that great, but this is a minor point as I didn't buy it to make movies

Summary: Digital Elph Review
Review: Great camera for the money. Very light and compact. Easy to use and makes very good photos. I especially like the viewfinder that zooms with the lens.

My criticisms are: Small battery is very limiting. About 20 to 25 shots depending on how much the flash is used. I would like to have an AAA battery adapter so I could get unlimited use, much like a 35mm camera. The 512 memory card is a must have add on if you travel. The flash can be unpredictable and programing it can be a challenge.

Summary: raveged for 2 years, Still ticking!
Review: Bought it nearly 2 years ago to replace my aging Canon Z115 (Film). To date its survived travel through countless airports, spent months at sea (I'm in the Navy), been dragged up Mt. Fuji and a handful of other mountains in my back pocket. The thing is so small I notice it less than my wallet. Its been slamed, droped, x-rayed, super heated in my car's cupholder on many occasions. Once I almost put it through the washing machine. Don't think it would had survived that, but luckily my wife found it just as it was about to get submerged!

This little camera has taken so much abuse, but the only problems are excessive amounts of pocket lint that get caught in the view finder (actually pretty annoying) and most of the painted on decals wore off long ago. (tip, Get a case!)

Complaints? I have a few, but most are things commonly associated with point and shoot digicams such as the delay between the time you press the shutter and it actually releasing. etc, etc. But hands down, this was the best ...bucks I'd ever pluked on a camera. (Yes they were a little more expensive then).

My Next Camera will be the Canon S400 once the price comes down. I can hardly wait!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good small camera
Review: The main attraction of this camera is size - it's tiny. Of course, with the small size you give up lots of features contained on similar cameras. Because of the small lens and limited ISO setting it only takes pictures in well lit locations. The flash is too small to be effective for more than a few feet. This is not an available light camera but once outdoors in sunshine or well lit scenes this little camera takes awesome pictures. 2MP is dated nowadays but it's more than adequate for snaphsots. It's a great second camera to own - you can carry it around everywhere when you wouldn't have had a camera at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Believe It - Or Not
Review: I am always quick to criticize or critique a restaurant or item I bought. I rarely have the opportunity to compliment an item such as this one.
I went horse back riding with a girlfriend and her daughter one day this summer02. On the way back we were taking the horses through more creek water then an the way there. The water at some points came to the belly of the horses. Something spooked the horse I was on and she went about neck deep into the water. She threw me over her left shoulder when she stopped suddenly. I went completely under water, briefly. As soon as I popped up I knew my camera went under water. (I should have put it in a zip lock, I thought.) I immediately took the battery and flash card out and cursed myself for bringing it. When I got home I opened it up by the tiny screws in it and set it in front of a low powered fan. IT HAS BEEN THREE MONTHS SINCE THEN AND IT STILL WORKS, BATTERY, FLASH CARD, AND CAMERA! I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT MYSELF! I am now looking into buying the waterproof case that is an option. Better not press my luck:-)
