Summary: I've conquered your world! Obey my superior technology!
Review:
Listen up there chattel! For I am Lieutenant Dorkus Malorkus! And this camera is The Great and Powerful Oz's pick for 2005!

The Mighty Oz commands you to worship its features!

'Click! Click!' Beware! For as its shutter snaps cruelly, so do The Hounds of Hades nip at my heels!

And no attempt must ever be made, to tinker with its inner complexities, lest thou void the warranty!

It shouldn't be taken lightly here, that this so-called 'camera' is in fact a 'soul catcher'!

Alas! My seventeen layers of aluminum foil hat, are no match for its omniscient recticle of doom, which peers directly into the depths of my very being! For as I take pictures of flowers and puppies, there on its screen is instead displayed, the focal point of my black heart!

And it is so very dark! Darker than a night of a thousand murders! Darker than gargoyles plunging daggers into the eyes of the innocent! Darker than the endless screams of those in Satan's clutches!

No wait!

I simply forgot to take the lens cap off...

Nevermind.

Summary: skip this one
Review: 1. hard to hold.
2. not easy to operate
when you go out with this camera, bring your user manual with you.
3. software is not user friendly. also cause lot of resources
4. The small battery even doesn't hold enough power to finish the 32M disk. That is how canon make money.
5. picture quality is not better than other cameras within same price range.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not a good value for the price.
Review: 1. Memory sold with the camera is only 16M( 8 shorts of high resolution). You'll have to spend extra $40 to get 512M, so you can use all features you paid in that camera( video, and 2048x1536 resolution ).
2. You'll need an extra battery, since Canon will just tell you - "Cnange battery" and shut the camera. Their recharge warning will not warn you agead of time. ( Add extra $40 for extra battery ).
3. You'll need, an AC adaptor, when uploading or connecting camera to TV ( add another $40 ).
So, the price of the camera will have to be 50% more or extra $120, or you get a car without gas and a spair.

Summary: It's a RIP OFF!
Review: Buy Canon SD100 Elph instead and save $50. This is basically the same camera as SD 100 and Canon simply threw in a couple more softwares (which you don't really need) and by changing the body color to white silver, they jacked up the price $50 more. O, yea, and then they named it SD110. How awful is that?! I will get SD100 and use $50 for another SD memory card.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good size and quality for the price
Review: Can you get a better camera than this one? For real.
Is that camera going to cost you more? For real.
Is the cost difference woth the extra cash? Not for me.

It's small enough to fit in your pocket and takes good pics. It's probably not enough for the pros or anything, but I don't think the pros were looking at this camera in the first place.

Summary: Best of the ultracompacts as of March 2004
Review: Compared to Nikon Coolpix 3200, Minolta Dimage series, untested new models from Fuji. Budget = $(price).

At $(price), the closest competitors were the larger 4-AA battery A series from Canon and two models from Sony: one old, one new. I was leaning toward Sony until I priced their memory.

The SD110 had everything I wanted: steel body, small size, fairly affordable media, optical zoom, video w/sound, TV out.

Why four stars and not five? Two reasons: SD memory is expensive compared to CompactFlash and the battery is proprietary (not purchasable at a corner store).

Why not the S400? It was fourty dollars more and thus over budget. I figure last year's top-quality camera is still okay.

SD is still cheaper than Sony Memory Stick and smaller. Price 'em out and you'll see any benefits from Sony are dampened by high memory costs. Further, MMC cards will fit in the SD110 and work fine, so if you see a closeout on MMC 128 MB (the largest size in MMC) you're free to buy that too. And generic batteries on Ebay are plenty cheap.

This camera rules for so many reasons. Read the S100's review at Cnet.com and add the new printer standards like PictBridge.

UPDATE: I bought the Canon i560 PictBridge-compatible printer and tried the technology for the first time. Results? Eh, middlin'. I didn't have the opportunity to edit the picture or change the advanced printer settings. Today, it's easier to put the image on your PC and print from there.

However, in the future, I could see PictBridge becoming a retail kiosk standard, where you could print pictures by plugging in your camera. This beats plugging in your memory card to the Sam's Club computer, because such cards could easily contain virus proggies, which I bet companies have developed PictBridge to help avoid...

Summary: Three weeks in use... already broken!
Review: Ditto what everyone's written about the SD110's portability, image quality and attractive design. I am a Canon fan (use a S45) and bought this camera from Amazon.com as a Christmas present for my sister. She's used it for about three weeks and is over in DC. Today, she called and let me the know the camera "froze" all of a sudden. She was taking pictures indoors with a freshly charged battery. The camera turned itself off for no apparent reason, then restarted only to freeze up again in mid-start operation. The zoom lens extended about halfway and the SD110 just went dead. I suggested that she get a new battery and try again, but after a $60 battery purchase at a nearby Ritz Camera, nothing changed.

She's already contacted Canon (Saturday afternoon) and they couldn't troubleshoot this issue over the phone so asked her to mail the camera in with the warranty materials to have it fixed under warranty. (It's a one year limited warranty.) Takes about 7-14 days to repair and they'll mail it back 2-day express, on them.

Other than this incident, which seems to be rather isolated because I couldn't find other reports of similar issues with the SD110, we were pretty satisfied with the SD110 purchase. I would have rated the SD110 with higher (stars) marks, but it's difficult to rate highly a defective unit... Canon fan or otherwise!

Summary: Works fine but looks bad
Review: I buy it on December 15 aprox. Yesterday, Jan 23 I want to use my camera and take some photos... when I see my camera (made of steel or other material non-plastic) it was little oxidized!
The camera was stored with original leather Canon Case, and never used before.
Think before buying this camera, today it's oxidized from surface, tomorrow from inside components.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Nice Indeed
Review: I got this camera a week ago and I can find nothing to complain about. It's quick, takes great pictures, small but sturdy, bright vivid LCD, with a great battery, charger and print functionality. The only minor issue is the 16M card in a 3.2 MP camera. But, a 16M card is still about standard for any company so no marks off here.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but not great
Review: I just got the camera a few days ago. ON the whole I realy like it. the zoom could be better, but they have other cameras for that. The flash is a little bright but its okay too. Most of the time pictures come out great. I have a little bit of truble getting it to focus where i want it too but I think it is my fualt not the cameras. This is my first camera ever so I think some of my problems are that I don't know how to use all the featurea quit right(yes I did read the manual). I think after a little more playing I will have it figuered out and this camera will be my new best friend. However my next camera will be 4 or 5 meagapixles.
