Summary: very happy with new S110
Review: This camera hits the spot. Just got it last week, a day before I went on vacation. It came in very handy on my trip. I purchased the small powershot case thats made for it, attached it to my belt and not a person I was with knew I had a camera until I pulled it out. Once out, everyone was really impressed with its size, ease of operation and functionality. If you want something with excellent quality and that's great for travel you will not go wrong here.

Summary: Highly portable, compact and WONDERFUL
Review: The Canon PowerShot S110 is a great little camera for those on the go. People who want compactability- you've got it- this tiny little piece of art is a stainless wonder that fits in your pocket! Maybe a little on the heavy side for a silk shirt but great none-the-less. It has nary a noise when operating and the picture quality and option availability is superb. Way to go Canon, I am glad to have waited for this new and improved version.

Summary: Tiny: good -- Dark: bad
Review: I received this camera as a Father's Day gift (I guess I was extra-good this year!). It is indeed very cool. The pictures are nice, and 2.1 megapixels is plenty, trust me.

I've been a Nikon guy for a long time, and have invested many thousands in some good Nikon glass. And I resisted digital until I could somehow justify it.

It's the size of this camera which makes it so great. I mean, a digital camera won't take the place of a good film camera anytime soon, regardless of number of pixels. If you simply compare the lens size, the focus ranges, and, perhaps most importantly, the dynamic range, you'll quickly learn that digital still has a ways to go to catch up with film.

that's not to say that it doesn't have it's place: and snapshots are their place. You won't be blowing up your snapshots bigger than 5x7 (but ask yourself, when was the last time you actually blew up one of your pictures bigger than 5x7? Ever?) -- don't waste your money on a 3 megapixel.

But CAUTION: this film has an ISO equivalent of 100. That means it's like always having 100 speed film in it: no way to make it go faster. The flash is tiny, pretty wimpy (effective range is <10 feet) and RIGHT NEXT TO the lens. What does that mean: your inside, night time photos will be less-than-stellar with lots of redeye.

Hey, 100 speed film used to be the standard (and baseball games used to be played during the day), so it's not the end of the world. But anyone who says they're going to chuck their film camera for digital (especially this one) doesn't know how to use a film camera.

All the same, I love this little guy. I'm going to carry it with me when it's not practical to carry my "real" camera. And I'm going to take lots and lots of pictures (at "normal" compression) which will all go on my website and as desktop backgrounds. It's fun. That's what it's about.

Just try to lug around some Nikon 990 all the time: can't be done. That's why this camera rocks (for what it is).

Summary: Bigger isn't always better - This camera rages!
Review: After a month of research, I finally bought the Cannon S110, and am extremly happy with it. First picture I took in auto mode at Medium Res with Medium compression was incredible. Printed on my HP P1000, I will be throwing my old 35 mm film camera away. Have tried movies with sound, panoramics, macros, etc. all on the first day I got it. Easy to use. Software is good too. Lots of features. The size of the this camera is truly amazing. Simple buttons, great menus, LCD is pretty visible outside too - that is key. Will need to get a bigger CF card, but that was expected. Don't fall for the S100 being cheaper, for the same relative price, the S110 gives you movies with sound and more compressions/resolutions. Great Buy!!

Summary: Two Thumbs Up!!!
Review: I researched and researched for my 1st Digi-Ca. I wanted something compact so that I can carry anywhere, easy to use, and has good photo quality. I narrowed my choice to Sony P1, Canon powershot S300, and S110. After 3 weeks of researching, I decided not to go for Sony P1 due to various complaints in user sites. The S300 and S110 are both compact and easy to use, and share the same CCD so there is no difference in photo quality. These are the difference I found: 1. The S300 is about $50-$100 more expensive. 2. The S300 has 3x optical zoom, while S110 has only 2x. 3. The S300 is not truly pocketable, compared to the tiny S110.

Money was not a problem for me, so the deciding point was 3x zoom or ultra-portability. I went to Bestbuy and Circuit City to compare 3x zomm and 2x, and found out that there is only a minimal difference. (Just a step forward makes it 3x) And also, I found S110 has better macro ability than S300. (Macro is the ability to take close-up pics.) I ordered S110; if I'm not satisfied with it, I was going to return it and get S300. However, I'm so happy with it now, I am a keeper now. The S300 is a great camera, but in my opinion S110 is better. Remember the reason you want to get a Canon digital ELPH is because of its ultra-portability.

Summary: Canon creates a winner...
Review: The image quality of this camera is stunning - very crisp and clear, very little noise. I had an S100, but this one is even better - the movie mode is great fun, and the price is right. I can't recommend this camera highly enough!

Summary: Canon's Newest Elph Worth The Wait
Review: The next in the ultra-compact line of Canon Digital Elph cameras is finally shipping... and it's WAY cool! Building on the success of the S100 and S300 predecessors, the new digital Elph delivers improved picture quality, battery performance, and adds support for short segment videos. Fotunately, Canon didn't mess with the rugged (and, yes, cool looking!) appearance - the S110 looks nearly identical the the S100.

My only confusion is with the differences between the new S110 and the S300 model released earlier this year. The S300 has a better optical zoom and is ever so slightly larger and heavier. The S300 also inexplicably adds a plastic ring around the lens which disrupts the sleek appearance of the otherwise all metal case. The S300 is also a quite a bit more expensive. It seems like the new S110 is a better deal unless you really need the extra optical zoom.

The 8MB compact flash memory included with the S110 is almost insulting for a camera in this price range - Canon should be including at least a 16MB card. I recommend you consider adding a 64MB or 128MB card as an option if your budget permits. There are some excellent deals out there on compact flash memory right now. Be careful, the S110 only accepts Type 1 cards.

If you're looking for a digital camera that you can carry with you, and you're OK with the 2.11 megapixel resolution, I suggest you add the S110 to your short list.

Summary: Decent photos, not too reliable, lacks attention to details!
Review: I got this camera as a replacement for my giant (but wonderful) film camera when it first came out. It was great to just stick it in my purse and go. After a couple months the LCD screen stopped working. Even when I took a picture it would come up black on my computer. I sent it back to Canon and they fixed it. Wish it would've worked right the first time around.

There's a lag between when you hit the button and when it actually takes the picture (results in some funny-looking posed pictures because people think the picture's already been taken!). It doesn't take very good indoor photos (flash looks harsh, doesn't focus well). And action shots are kind of a problem unless they're from a distance. The colors don't seem very true-to-life.

I just got a photo printer and printed out a lot of photos taken with this camera and a few taken with a friend's newish Sony 4 megapixel camera. His photos were all much sharper and had much truer color.

Summary: my best friend
Review: I love my Canon Powershot S110. I've had it for about 2 and a half years now and it still works like it did when it was brand new. I've seen the latest Powershot Digital Elph (Ixus) cameras, and sure they are improvements on the S110, but there's something about the S110's heavy metallic casing that makes it long-lasting and extremely durable, perhaps more durable than the latest in this product line. The picture quality is great, comparable to the latest Digital Elphs. I've taken this camera to Europe and back, twice, to Japan, and across the US, always carrying it in my front pants pocket. I'm not planning to buy a new digital camera until my S110 stops working, which probably won't be for a long time.

Rating: 5 stars
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.
