Reviews say the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS is a great budget-priced, ultra-zoom digital camera. The 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS lens is just a 10x zoom, with a focal range of 36 mm to 360 mm; the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 (Discontinued) and DMC-FZ35 (Discontinued) both have larger-range and wider-angle lenses. Likewise, you can't zoom while shooting video, sound recording is limited to mono, and shutter speed isn't as fast. Still, Lori Grunin of CNET says the SX110 has "first rate photo quality." With a full range of manual and auto settings, the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS takes great shots, even though it lacks RAW image support. The SX110 also has a large 3-inch LCD display, but no viewfinder.

The Canon PowerShot SX110 IS ranks last in Grunin's list of nine recommended ultra-zooms, but each camera gets 3.5 out of 5 stars. The price is right and the images are good, she says -- but the body can be slippery, and there's no zoom with movie mode.
