Editorial Review:Amazon.com Product Description:Canon's update to the PowerShot S100, the PowerShot S110, packs a high-quality digital camera into the tiny, elegant body of Canon's Digital Elph series. The idea behind the Elph line is simple: create a camera small enough to slip into a shirt pocket, so you can take it anywhere. To improve upon the impressive specs of the original, Canon upgraded the image processor, making it both faster and more effective in maximizing color fidelity and saturation. Additionally, the S110 has the ability to record QuickTime movies. A new, tiny microphone is embedded in the front of the camera.
The basics include 2-megapixel resolution (1,600 x 1,200 image resolution) for high-quality photos and prints up to 8 by 10 inches; an all-glass aspherical 2x zoom lens (and a 2.5x digital zoom as well). A 1.5-inch LCD monitor displays most camera settings with easy-to-understand icons and minimal text. The built-in flash uses a light guide and does not need a Fresnel lens or a large reflector, making the camera even more compact.
The PowerShot S110 stores images on an included 8 MB CompactFlash card. Adobe PhotoDeluxe and PhotoStitch control image management, editing, compositing, and printing, while ZoomBrowser EX or ImageBrowser produce self-running screen slide shows, automatic e-mail preparation, and auto layout. The camera uses a high-speed plug-and-play USB interface, plus it has NTSC-out so you can view your photos on your TV. It's fully compatible with both Mac and PC platforms.

AMAZING LITTLE CAMERA
This is an AMAZING LITTLE CAMERA. I have had mine for probably five years and have never been disappointed in it. I have an extra battery that I have on charge and switch back and forth when the one in the camera is getting low. This camera is small but packed with power. It's easily tucked in a pocket or a fanny pack on vacation. There is no fumbling when it comes to using it. Turn it on, point and shoot - easy as that. The pictures are crisp and clear. I hope this review helps. I can't imagine anyone not being happy with this camera.

Decent photos, not too reliable, lacks attention to details!
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.

my best friend
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.

Lights. Camera. Action!
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.

s110 digital camera 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.
